They threatened to pull out of the Peace Accord initiated by the Gen Abdusalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee if Zakari’s appointment was not reversed. This came just as Presidency and INEC denied on Friday that the President and Zakari were blood relations as alleged by the PDP and other stakeholders. IPAC also called on INEC to immediately rescind the appointment of Zakari as the chairperson of the committee on National Collation Centre. IPAC is the body officially recognised by INEC to speak on behalf of all political parties in the country. Speaking with our correspondent on Friday, the President of IPAC, Mr. Peter Ameh, asked INEC to remove Zakari for the sake of transparency and fairness.
