Zakari’s appointment to head the INEC committee on collation centre has been generating a controversy.
The PDP had alleged she is related to the president and her new position would compromise the electoral process.
“President Buhari and Commissioner Amina Zakari don’t share a family relationship. An inter-marriage occurred in their extended families, so the imputation of blood relationship between the President and the electoral commissioner is a simple lie,” he said.
