Yakubu oversaw the conduct of two general elections (in 2019 and 2023) and several off-cycle governorship and legislative polls.
Under his leadership, INEC introduced several reforms, including the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) and the INEC result viewing (iReV) portal, aimed at enhancing transparency and credibility in the electoral process. However, the 63-year-old’s tenure as INEC helmsman was not devoid of controversies and criticisms, especially as it concerns the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Sani, a former federal lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial district, took to his verified X (formerly Twitter) page to react to Yakubu’s departure from the commission.
He tweeted:
“The INEC Chairman Professor Yakubu bowed out.He may not have given you everything you wanted,but he has given you something to compare with what the future will give you.”
But Sani’s post was met with strong objections from several X users.
Legit.ng reports that Yakubu was first appointed in November 2015 as the 14th chairman of the commission for an initial term of five years. The appointment, which was renewed in 2020, has now expired due to the passage of time.
Prior to his appointment as chairman of INEC, Mahmood served as the executive secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).
