” I’m not a partisan by nature. Not only from the PDP, but also from certain APC members, I’ve seen numerous petitions opposing my nomination.

“I’m not a believer in partisanship. No one should be concerned about my nomination as INEC commissioner for Delta.

”As far as I’m concerned, I follow due process and the law, which is why I’m being attacked,” she explained.
