I won’t interfere with INEC – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has administered the oath of office on the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, alongside his commissioners yesterday.
He charged them to uphold the law and shun external influences.
The President, however, vowed never to interfere with INEC’s activities but warned that they would be held accountable for their actions if they allow themselves to be unduly influenced, adding: “The nation has reposed a lot of trust and confidence in you. You cannot afford to fail.”
Buhari gave the charge at a short swearing- in ceremony at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa.
