Mahmood Yakubu Steps Down As INEC Chairman, Hands Over To Agbamuche

Professor Mahmood Yakubu has officially vacated his position as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after completing two terms in office.

Yakubu, who first assumed the role in 2015, served for a total of ten years, following his reappointment in 2020 for a second five-year tenure.

On Tuesday, he formally handed over the leadership of the commission to Mrs. May Agbamuche, a National Commissioner, who will now serve as Acting Chairman.

In his farewell remarks, the outgoing INEC Chairman urged his colleagues to extend their full cooperation to the Acting Chairman “pending the time a substantive head is appointed.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to announce a new head of the electoral body soon.

According to reliable sources, the appointment of a new INEC Chairman is likely to feature prominently during the Council of State meeting scheduled for later this week.
