No Plan To Remove Jega, President Jonathan Says Again by Franchise21(m): 8:55am On Mar 03, 2015 |
President Goodluck Jonathan has reassured Nigerians and the international community that he has no plan to sack the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, ahead of Nigeria’s general elections slated for March 28 and April 11. Mr. Jonathan’s reassurance came amid speculation that the Federal Government, through the office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, is plotting to send Mr. Jega on terminal leave before the elections. Mr. Jega’s tenure ends in June but there are claims the administration plans to send him on a three-month pre-disengagement leave before the election. The speculation were fuelled by allegations by the opposition All Progressives Congress and the anti-Jega posturing of the Peoples Democratic Party as well as groups and individuals rooting for Mr. Jonathan. Last Thursday, senators of the APC, led by George Akume, said they had reliable Intelligence that Mr. Jega would be asked to proceed on pre-retirement leave this week through a letter that would emanate from the office of the Head of Service of the Federation. But speaking on Monday in an interview with Aljazeera, Mr. Jonathan dispelled the speculation. The president said INEC is a sensitive and important institution and that removing its chairman arbitrarily would spark public outcry. “Except somebody is insinuating that the Chairman has done something wrong. You cannot change an officer, except the person has done something wrong,” Mr. Jonathan said in response to a question on Mr. Jega. He continued, “Government, whether at the federal or state level, president or governor, does not wake up and change somebody, especially somebody like the INEC Chairman, except that person has done something wrong. “INEC is a very sensitive body. For me to change INEC Chairman Nigerians will ask questions. So, you cannot wake up and change INEC Chairman.” He added that he had never discussed with “any human being on earth about changing INEC Chairman”. While the PDP has alleged an unholy link between the APC and the INEC boss, Mr. Jonathan’s presidential campaign has outrighly accused Mr. Jega of involvement in “grand conspiratorial alliance” with the opposition party for “electioneering permutations” and deliberately skewed distribution of permanent voter cards against states believed to be PDP strongholds. Mr. Jega has strongly rejected the allegations. Mr. Jonathan has in the past repeatedly committed to free and fair polls, devoid of any form of violence. But his campaign has been especially critical of INEC of late, accusing it of partisanship, and opposing the use of card readers in the elections. INEC plans to use the card readers to accredit voters on election day to check multiple voting and voting by proxy. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/177822-no-plan-to-remove-jega-president-jonathan-says-again.html |

The President has again said he has no plan to remove Prof Attahiru Jega. I think the opposition party should stop the unwanton allegation against the President. They should focus on their campaign to appeal to electorate(which will be unssuccessful anyway). As for the President, we should give him the benefit of doubt. One thing is sure, election will come and go, and the winner(Goodluck Jonathan) will be inaugurated on May 29. 2 Likes |

Franchise21:Jonathan said he won't sack Jega, some people are calling him liar and devil. If he had said he will remove Jega, the same people would have tagged him dictator. If he had kept quiet, they will call him clueless. I don't know what some people want Jonathan to do. One thing I know is that Jonathan Will Be re-elected by the good people of Nigeria irrespective of tribe and religion |

Franchise21:Of course I'm praying for my President that he lead us in the right path, because if he succeeds as President, Nigerian succeeds as a country and the masses succeed as a people. We all will benefit as citizens and residents. I also pray for him as a brothe to succeed, because if he succeed, the Ijaw tribe and Southern Nigeria becomes proud of their son and our contribution to the development of Nigeria through an illustrious son will be acknowledged by all. I also pray for him to succeed as a human because I will want the same if I'm in a position of authority. Note: My "succeed" does not mean political aspiration but success as a President. Also, my support for GEJ has nothing to do with tribe or religion 1 Like |

barcanista: I just have to reply this. People call Jonathan what they call him because of his antecedents. Did Jonathan say that Feb 14 and 28 elections will not be postponed or not? What happened after that promise? Jonathan it was who convened COS meeting to table the reasons why the elections needed to be postpone using security as the main excuse. Few days after, it was same Jonathan who, during the last media chat said he was not consulted by the security chiefs before they decided to postpone the elections. The fact is that all sensible Nigerians don't trust him anymore. And once a man has lost the trust factor, people have a genuine right not to believe him. |
