Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described outbursts of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the possible removal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega as “mere comedy,” saying; “President Goodluck Jonathan can sack Jega if he wishes and if he does, heavens will not fall.”

The governor, who said the APC should stop acting as if Nigeria belongs to the party, added that; “by turning themselves to advocates and defenders of the INEC chairman, the APC and its agents have shown that they have a deal with Jega to manipulate the elections and that the deal will be frustrated if he is asked to leave office.”

Governor Fayose said in a release issued on Wednesday, and signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, that “removal of Jega and any other appointees of the

Federal Government is a prerogative of the president, which no one can question, provided laid down rules are followed.”

He said the position expressed by the House of Representatives was that of the APC members in the House, urging that “the APC lawmakers should rather pay attention to the ill-health of their party’s presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), whose whereabouts is now a mystery.”

The governor described Jega as partisan, saying; “By his actions and utterances, Jega had already demonstrated his bias in support of the APC. For instance, how can Jega explain the 80 percent distribution of

Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in Boko Haram ravaged Borno and Yobe States while less than 40 percent distributed in Lagos as at February 7 that the election was postponed?”

He said; “It is on record that Prof Maurice Iwu was asked to proceed on terminal leave two months to the end of his tenure? Is Jega not a beneficiary of Iwu’s removal? So if Iwu was asked to go on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure for Jega to assume office, what difference does it make if Jega too is asked to proceed on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure?”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; “it is the president that can determine whether or not Jega will go on the mandatory three months terminal leave which should commence on March 8, and if the president decides that the INEC chairman should go on terminal leave, what can the APC loudmouths do?

“They boasted before the postponement of the elections that they would go on street protests, but did they do anything? They made noise when Justice Isa Ayo Salami was removed from office as president of the Court of Appeal, what did their noise amount to? “Therefore, let me say it categorically that the noise being made by the APC and their agents will amount to nothing because if thepresident removes Jega today, heavens will not fall.”

Jega has obviously compromised
but he should not be sacked though

I think this guy is trying to steal the show from the president. It is high time our journalists stopped paying attention to him as he's losing his sanity of late.

THIS MAD MAN AGAIN
NEXT PLS

All hail d chief tout/agbero of Nigeria.

This Fayose is an embarrassment to the position of a governor he occupies. He just can't keep his ignorant mouth shut.

Fayose will be a typical case study for years to come of the type of person that should never be voted into any elective post.

The acclaimed learned people of Ekiti really goofed on this one.

nice One, there are no sacred cows and scape goats, let the needful be done

Exactly! Fayose understands Nigerian politics wella. Obasanjo and the other overnight saints did worse and heavens didn't fall.

Fayose is a lawless ediot. Listen to him at your own peril.

Next!!

I raise my left yansh for the people under the rulership of Ifayose!!!

Freedom of speech

This guy may go down in the history of Nigeria as the most divisive governor.

FIXED

isn't Jega the same man that conducted the election he (Fayose) won (whether rigged or not)?

It's clear the kind of advise the president receives.

APC don Suffer

he knows without rigging,jonathan is a goner.i pity jonathan.

APC should explain thier relationship with JEGA ..
but seriously, Heavens won't fall if he's sacked/removed

But why did Jonathan leave it so late? What was he thinking all àlong?

Did he say anything so bad to what Amechi or even what buhari has said so far

[/s]Unfortunately the media won't stop paying paying attention to him,because he has proven to the entire Nigerians and the world at large that he can unravel every move APC makes,by the reason of him bursting Bubuhaha's interview saga.
BTW,if the media should stop paying to him,a governor,are they gonna pay attention to an unlettered ediot like you,who can't even afford to change cloth talk more of paying the media. Mtchwww! Nansanse.

I tot this guy is a gov? How come he's not concentrating in his duties, n try to better his people's lives?
