Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman of the president, has said that Amina Zakari who was appointed commissioner at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not in anyway related to Buhari by blood.
okay recalls that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) rejected the appointment of Amina Zakari as a commissioner in INEC.
Garba Shehu in a statement sent to okay said:
“President Buhari and Commissioner Amina Zakari don’t share a family relationship. An inter-marriage occurred in their extended families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie,” he said.
Also reacting to PDP’s rejection of her appointment in the statement, Garba Shehu said:
“the PDP has continued their baseless accusations regarding Hajiya Amina Zakari, a commissioner in INEC, accusing her of partiality and casting doubts about her integrity as an electoral commissioner.
“In their desperation, they forget that it was the PDP government that appointed her in the first place and they keep lying, as they have been caught doing on so many issues, by imputing a blood relationship between her and President Muhammadu Buhari”.
