[color=#006600][/color] ;DEkiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the All
Progressives Congress on Tuesday engaged in a
war of words over the fate of Prof. Attahiru Jega as
the chairman of the the Independent National
Electoral Commission.
Fayose began the verbal onslaught when he
described the claim by the APC of a plot by the
Presidency to fire Jega, as a “mere comedy.”
The governor, in a statement by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, advised the opposition party
to stop acting as if Nigeria belonged to it.
“President Goodluck Jonathan can sack Jega if he
wishes and if he does, heavens will not fall,”
Fayose boasted, alleging that the APC had, by its
actions, shown that it had a pact with the INEC
chairman.
“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,” he added.
The governor however said “that the deal will be
frustrated if he (Jega) is asked to leave office.”
Fayose, according to the statement reminded the
APC that the removal of any appointee of the
Federal Government was a prerogative of the
President, “which no one can question, provided
the laid down rules are followed.”
The governor described Jega as partisan, saying,
“By his actions and utterances, Jega had already
demonstrated his support of the APC.’’
He said, “For instance, how can Jega explain the
80 per cent distribution of Permanent Voter Cards
in Boko Haram-ravaged Borno and Yobe states
while less than 40 per cent was distributed in
Lagos as of February 7 that the election was
postponed?
“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?
“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 the President
removes Jega today, heavens will not fall.”
He also claimed that the warning by the House of
Representatives on Tuesday that removing Jega
could lead to violence was that of the APC
lawmakers.
The governor therefore called on “the APC
lawmakers to rather pay attention to the ill-health
of their party’s presidential candidate, Maj. Gen.
Mohammadu Buhari (retd.), whose whereabouts is
now a mystery.”
But the APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai
Mohammed, berated the governor, saying his
views were inconsequential since he was not the
appointer of Jega.
Mohammed, in a telephone interview with one of
our correspondents, on Wednesday, asked, “Is
Fayose the appointer of Jega? What is his
(Fayose’s) business there?
“We know why Fayose is so vociferous; it is
because he attained the Office of the Governor
through army rigging.
“Fayose knows he can’t win any free and fair
election. This is why he’s crying more than the
bereaved. He’s afraid that the truth has come out.
No matter how long it takes, the truth will prevail.”
Jonathan had during an interview with Aljazeera,
on Monday night, insisted that he had no plan to
remove Jega. ;DEkiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the All
