It will be reviewed that Mrs. Zakari was delegated by President Mohammadu Buhari on Tuesday to supplant the prompt past Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega whose tenure slipped by around the same time.
Yet, her arrangement has produced concerns and responses from numerous quarters.
One of such quarters is the resistance Peoples Democratic Party, PDP which blamed the President for naming an associate of his to clear route for the decision of All Progressive Congress, APC recover the PDP controlled States at the race Tribunal through a few questionable means.
The gathering likewise blamed President for over decision Jega who had before given over to another ranking staff of the Commission.
However, responding to the concerns raised by the PDP, the administration through the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said that due procedure was followed in making the assignment.
In an announcement issued before the end of last night, Adesina said that "Mr Metuh's spurious cases of her arrangement having been affected by "individual association with the Presidency" and a Governor in the North-West "to make ready for the APC" at race tribunals ought to be dismissed by the general population."
He included that Buhari did not over principle Jega in the arrangement of Zakari.
According to him, the charges were unwarranted, intentionally made to criticize the president.
The announcement read in this way: "We have noted with misgiving, the most recent tirade against President Muhammadu Buhari issued today by the PDP's Spokesman, Mr Olisa Metuh.
"Other than exhausting journalists at his public interview with a repeat of unjustifiable charges of inaction against the President, Mr Metuh plainly had nothing but the same old thing new to say separated from his charge of nepotism and partisanship in the arrangement of the Acting INEC Chairman, which likewise does not have any truthful establishment.
"President Buhari absolutely did not "overrule" Prof. Attahiru Jega in delegating Mrs. Amina Zakari as the Acting INEC Chairman, as Mr Metuh asserted.
"Prof. Jega's indicated giving over to another Commissioner can't be understood as an "arrangement" on the grounds that just the President has the established power, which he practiced to choose Mrs Zakari as acting Chairman of INEC.
"As opposed to Mr Metuh's assertions, President Buhari's arrangement of Mrs Zakari as Acting INEC Chairman was construct altogether in light of legitimacy, her immense involvement in the inner operations of INEC and the President's dedication to governmental policy regarding minorities in society in backing of sex balance, on the grounds that, aside from being completely fit the bill for the position, Mrs Zakari was the main lady among the six Commissioners considered.
"Due Process was surely followed in Mrs Zakari's arrangement. Mr Metuh's spurious cases of her arrangement having been affected by "individual association with the Presidency" and a Governor in the North-West "to make ready for the APC" at race tribunals ought to be ignored by the general population.
"The assertions are only deceptions devised by Mr Metuh to unfairly slander a President prominently chose by Nigerians to fix the harm done to the country by years of PDP standard.
"His claim that the PDP has rejected Mrs Zakari's arrangement is additionally ridiculous after he had conceded that the privilege and force of the President to make such arrangements can't be addressed."
