The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has officially handed over the leadership of the commission to May Agbamuche-Mbu, who will serve as Acting National Chairman.
Agbamuche, the most senior National Commissioner in the electoral body, assumed the role following Yakubu’s handover at an ongoing meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) held on Tuesday at the INEC headquarters in Abuja.
In his address, Professor Yakubu urged the commissioners and directors of the commission to give their full cooperation and support to Agbamuche as she leads INEC pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.
Agbamuche’s elevation marks a continuation of leadership within the commission to ensure stability and smooth administrative transition.
