LOWER HOUSE THE DRAG GEJ, FG To Court If Inec Chairman Is Removed by LRNZH(m): 9:52pm On Mar 03, 2015 |
The House of Representatives has resolved that it would subject any person or organisation that attempts to oust the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega to litigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) or a suitable Nigerian court. The lower chamber took the decision at plenary on Tuesday when the matter was considered. Speaker of the House, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, and the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (NCS-SR) alsi flayed any attempt to remove Jega as unconstitutional and counter-productive to the survival of democracy in the country. Tambuwal made this observation when he received members of the NCS-SR who paid him a courtesy call in his office. Prior to the meeting with the NCS-SR, the House had during plenary taken the same position as that of the Speaker. Tambuwal noted that those plotting Jega's removal are simply playing a script that Nigerians are familiar with. "When the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II," whose removal he explained precipitated the current economic woes being experienced in the nation, "I had cause to condemn the act. Those contemplating Jega's removal are acting along the same line." "But Jega is not a civil servant. We should be careful. We shouldn't send the wrong signal to the people of Nigeria," the Speaker appealed. Kicking against the veiled declaration of war and the indications from unknown quarters that an interim government is in the offing, Tambuwal observed that "signs are ominous that if we are not careful, the dark days will return to Nigeria." "There is no interim government in the constitution. Those talking about interim government, are they planning a coup? It is outside the constitution and I don't know why our security agencies are condoning it? It is a treasonable offence. We should respect the wishes of the people and the will of God." "It is very clear that certain individuals are not interested in a free and fair electoral process," he added, stressing that, if on the contrary the electorates decides, their verdict should be respected. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/house-to-drag-gej-fg-to-court-if-inec-chairman-is-removed/203224/ |

It is unfortunate that a serious institution like the NASS is now moving motions and adopting positions based on rumours Does the House have a memo, bill or any communication in any form whatsoever that Jega is about to be removed or that an Interim Government is being planned? The President has said that he has no plans to remove Jega and the President has also said that it is a treasonable offence to talk about Interim Government. So why is the house adopting a motion based on rumours? 1 Like |

See all of them getting jittery, always pretending to love Nigeria when their cowardice is tested. There will be no mayhem if Jega is replaced because we should be concerned about INEC capabilities instead of Jega's career. Jega, if we so desire will go home, heavens no go fall, even if it does, we have the umbrella. 1 Like |
