Buhari Swears In Yakubu As INEC Chair For A Second Term
President Mohammadu Buhari, on Wednesday at the council chambers, State House in Abuja sworn in Professor Mahmood Yakubu for a second term as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and believes elections in the country are getting better.
“We have clearly demonstrated in recent elections that elections are getting better and better and elections will continue to get better and better,” he said after the swearing-in ceremony.
On Tuesday last week, the Senate confirmed his appointment as chairman of the electoral body, a development the former Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) describes as a “privilege.”
“It is a big responsibility. It is history. No Nigerian has been so privileged to serve as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission twice,” the professor of Political History and International Studies, added.
“And it is a responsibility I am going to discharge consistent with the oath of office I took,” he said.
