Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s nomination of ex-INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu for an ambassadorial post, deeming it inappropriate and damaging to public trust in the electoral system.
Atiku stated he would never make such a nomination, citing concerns about credibility and the perception of rewarding flawed electoral processes. He argued the move undermines democratic strengthening and public faith in institutions.
