Gej is a virus that penetrated and destroy the immunity of every sector of the nigerian govt , it can no longer tackle infections like insecurity, unemployment, lack o f electricity etc. An anti virus that been tested, proven, and trusted in the late 80s ,90s and still active today has been remembered and it will be auction on 28th of next month there4 use ur PVC smartly to purchase, store it and use untill all the infection unleashed by gej is treated and no new cases reported. ...

We are ready for Jonathan. Go ahead and push Jega out illegally and see what happens. Abacha and Babangida tried it but they failed. Jonathan will definitely fail. If you can win an election, you change the umpire. Jega has done nothing wrong.

You are the one full of sentiment because you believe that 4 years is enough for Jonathan to solve problems that have been there for over 50 years. For example, that some joined the army with WASC while Buhari joined army with AWaiting Result indicates a deep rooted corruption favouring the North from ages. Jonathan can't solve that overnight. OBJ was 8 years president and spent the highest money on power yet no light. Jonathan has been the most performing president among all of them. He needs to consolidate his successes but you all want to impose a semi literate BUHARI who claim to be honest but lied under oath on us.


I will not vote for Buhari until he is able to correctly pronounce 'psycology' grin

My dear at least peoples opinion shouldn't be your headache cos I never mention ur name nor quote ur message to giv my opinion so y are u putting urself on d run when no one is running after u av given out my own opinion is for u to tk or lev. Just hear urself out until he pronounce 'psycology' my grand ma did nt atten any school whatsoever nd d manner she behave, the way she talk nd give advice, the way she do compose herself nd correct we d children shows that education in terms of going to school is not what we need moreover to my best of understanding education is all about knowing little about all and all about little so y do we av to kill our self just because of someone's tone my dear sincerely u also need EDUCATION

Prof Jega had four years to prepare for this election but wasted it.

He had planned to rig not only the election but also 2016 census in favour of North-East and North-west by allocating unimaginable extra polling units to the zone until he was forcefully stopped by the Senate from applying his option A.

Then Jega decided to use inequitable distribution of PVC as option B to rig the election where he allow proxies to collect and distribute in the North while dumping that of the South in various INEC offices across the regions with a stringent set of rules.

To make the matter worst Prof Jega wants to use the loophole in our constitution and electoral law known as substantial compliance to legally deny millions of voters across South their PVC in order to reduce their regional voting power and population estimate

Jega has contributed negatively to fall in Naira against the dollar by repeated lying on the fathom readiness of INEC before 14th Feb, 2014.

Re: FG Shortlists Four INEC Commissioners To Succeed Jega by incrediblestev: 9:37am On Mar 01, 2015
Interesting Legal perspective from Aloy Ejimako:

Section 27(2)(h) of the Electoral Act, the result of the Presidential election is to be announced by the ‘Chief Electoral Commissioner’. Under Section 156, the Chairman is identified specifically as the Chief Electoral
Commissioner.

However, under Section 152, the Commission is
empowered to delegate any of its functions to any
of the National Commissioners. In my considered
view, the operative phrase – ‘any of its functions’,
includes conducting the presidential election and
the announcement of result thereof.

Therefore, other than Jega, any of the 12 national
commissioners can, under the discretionary
delegation of the Commission, act as the Chief
Electoral Commissioner, in the interim, for the
specific purpose of announcing the said result.
Second, Section 159(4) of the Constitution, which
is also pertinent, provides that “Subject to its rules
of procedure, any such body may act or take part
in any decision notwithstanding any vacancy in its
membership or the absence of any member”.

Without doubt, ‘such body’ as stated here includes
INEC, as enumerated under Section 153 of the
Constitution. ‘Any vacancy’ can mean anything
from terminal leave, removal or suspension from
office, death, etc. And ‘any decision’ includes
conducting elections (presidential, etc.) and
announcement of the results (the core functions of
the Commission). Third, Section 161(c) of the
Conshall be construed as including a reference to
the Chairman of that body”.

I believe that you can (interpretatively) expand this
provision to read that ‘a reference to the Chairman
shall be construed as a reference to a member who
happens to be the Chairman’, including a member
‘acting’ as Chairman, either as a result of a
foreseeable vacancy, delegation, or worse.
Further, keep in mind that the Attorney-General of
the Federation had, in a related legal opinion
(requested by Jega), stated that all the 12
Commissioners, including Jega, are constitutional
equals; and that Jega is thus not a CEO but merely
a primus inter pares (first among equals).

Fourth, Section 159(3) of the Constitution says that
“Whenever such body is assembled for a meeting,
the Chairman or other person presiding shall, in all
matters in which a decision is taken by vote (by
whatever name such vote may be called) have a
casting as well as a deliberative vote”.
In my view, the phrase ‘other person presiding’
bears a constitutional recognition that the Chairman
may not always be available … for whatever reason,
including terminal leave, expiration of tenure, or
even by an act of force majeur; and the
Commission’s ‘decision’ can be on any matter
within the purview of the Commission’s core
functions, including most notably, conducting
elections and announcing their results.

Finally, let me conclude by adding this caveat: the
Chairmanship of INEC should not be personalized
to the point of the apprehension that elections will
be adversely affected by any sudden vacancy in
that office. Let it be clear that, in addition to this
much feared terminal leave, vacancy can also
suddenly occur from physical/mental incapacity,
removal from office, resignation or even death.
Plus, we have till 29th April to hold these elections
– a time span that is more than sufficient to
appoint and confirm another substantive Chairman.

So, with all the forgoing considered, the material
questions to ask are these: what if we are here
dealing with another garden-variety vacancy, not
occasioned by ‘terminal leave’, but by any of the
other events aforementioned? In such other likely
scenarios, will it still make sense to postulate that
the validity or credibility of the ensuing elections
will thereby be adversely affected?

I've been saying it repeatedly, GEJ is a goner with anti-rigging measures put in place by Jega led commission. Nigerians seem not to aware that PDP has been winning presidential elections since 1999 by engaging in heavy rigging. It is not going to be business as usual under Jega . Why do you think it is presidency who is fighting the plan use of card reader by the inec? They understands what that potend.
I just hope when Jega announces GEJ as the winner, ApC and Buhari will accept the result and clap for him. Cos this faith in Jega must be carried to the end not only when they like! GEJ till 2019 to be declared by prof jega datz all!

This Government has failed in so many ways that I have already concluded that it must fail in the elections too. It has to fail. It is their culture. Whichever way they choose to achieve this failure is not my business, all I know is that failure is their trademark, and it should always be expected from them.

Ultimately, GEJ will be gone from Aso Rock by May 29th. He has promised it himself, that on that day, there will be a handover. This country can take no more of this form of complacent failure and corruption.
