Retired Air Vice Marshal Ahmed Muazu has emerged as the acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
This is pending the Senate confirmation of Professor Mahmood Yakubu who was recently reappointed by President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term.

Born on 6th September, 1957 in Gombe, Gombe State, Muazu retired from service of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in 2013. He is INEC National Commissioner representing north-east and supervising Adamawa, Taraba and Borno states.
