He had also called for the dismissal of the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, and officials of the commission at all levels as part of a reform of the electoral process in Nigeria. According to him, “As a matter of urgency, we must ensure the INEC Chairperson and their staff are thoroughly vetted.
