NAN also reports that the Electoral Act had been further amended to provide for an alternative for the holding of primaries by political parties against the direct primary clause that had been contentious. Others are Mohammed Haruna representing North-central; Sam Olumekun representing South-west and Mr. Olaniyi Ijalaye as Resident Electoral Commissioner.

IPAC was particularly excited over the nomination of Mr Kenneth Ukeagu, a staff of INEC with a wealth of experience, as National Commissioner. “Ukeagu’s appointment is unique being the first member of staff or an insider to be so appointed by any president; President Buhari needs to be commended for the innovation, sense of judgment, and the futuristic reforms in the commission.

Also speaking with newsmen, Mr Hakim Afolabi of the Centre for Transparency and Accountability also commended the appointment of an insider.
