Opposition parties under the aegis the Coalition of United Political Parties, the Inter-Party Advisory Council, the Peoples Democratic Party and other stakeholders in the 2019 elections have again called for the removal of Amina  Zakari as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Ad hoc Committee on National Collation Centre. They threatened to pull out of the Peace Accord initiated by the Gen Abdusalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee if Zakari’s appointment was not reversed.

The coalition of opposition parties spoke in a statement by its first national spokesperson, Imo Ugochinyere, on Thursday.
“The desperation of the President must be reined in now before it is too late. We categorically reject this appointment and will consider very drastic measures including pulling out of the peace accord which does not repose a commensurate responsibility of the President to allow INEC conduct credible, free and fair elections.
