Recall that Yakubu, on Tuesday, stepped down and handed over to a national commissioner, Ms May Agbamuche-Mbu, as acting Chairman of the commission.
The brief handover ceremony happened during the commission’s regular consultative meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) at the INEC headquarters in Abuja.
According to him, bowing out early would help the next chairman to settle down quickly ahead of the important task of conducting elections and electoral activities across the country.
