INEC chairman and I know ourselves, he worked under me – Peter Obi

According to Obi, Yakubu worked in a Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) committee he (Obi) chaired before he became the Chairman of the electoral commission.

However, the former Anambra State governor, who reiterated that he would never give anyone money to do the wrong thing, said he never curry favour with Yakubu since he became the INEC Chairman.

Yakubu came under fire after declaring the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, winner of the February 25 elections despite controversies over the failure to upload polling units results on the results viewing portal in real-time as promised before the election.
