A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, has called on President Bola Tinubu to sack the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.

Galadima said Yakubu allegedly conspired with some politicians to subvert the will of Nigerians during the last presidential election.

Speaking with Channels Television on Tuesday, Galadima said what Yakubu did was less than what the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, did before he was sacked.

He stressed that the INEC boss committed more crimes than Emefiele.

According to Galadima: “The INEC chairman must go, what he did is not up to what Godwin Emefiele did.

“He colluded with some people to subvert the will of Nigerians. He committed the greatest crime anybody will commit.”

Yakubu was accused of compromising the 2023 presidential election.

Some political stakeholders had accused the INEC chairman of manipulating the 2023 presidential election in favour of Tinubu.
