Former Rivers State governor and ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has asserted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would not have secured victory in the 2015 general elections if Mahmood Yakubu, the current chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had been in charge at the time.
Amaechi made this claim during an appearance on Arise News’ Prime Time, where he spoke as a guest.
“The current chairman of INEC, if he was the chairman of INEC in 2015, we would not have won. May God bless Jega.”
“The current chairman of INEC can only be compared to Iwu,” Amaechi said, referencing former INEC chiefs Attahiru Jega and Maurice Iwu.
Amaechi praised Attahiru Jega, who served as INEC chairman during the 2015 elections, for facilitating the APC’s registration process in accordance with the commission’s requirements.
“When we were to register APC, Jega opened the door and we complied with the registration requirements.”
“He got APC registered. The current man, if you comply with all these, he would not register you. Already INEC is biased,” he added.
