Immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has accused Nigerian politicians of living extravagant lives.
According to him, one of the biggest challenges confronting the commission is the reckless mindset of politicians, who believe that winning an election is a do-or-die affair.

Jega, made history in 2015 after he presided over the commission that conducted the first election to unseat a sitting president in Nigeria.

Jega spoke in Lagos on Saturday at the 50th birthday ceremony of the National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Muiz Banire (SAN).

He delivered a paper entitled, “Challenges and prospects of sustainable credible elections in Nigeria.”

Jega said, “INEC, as an election management body, faced perhaps its greatest challenge containing the predisposition and reckless mindset of Nigerian politicians. I quite often say that Nigeria has a special breed of politicians – ‘militicians’.

“They generally tend to believe that political power, through election, has to be captured and this has to be done by hook or by crook; and by any means necessary.

You made history by unseating a sitting president.
Everything he is saying now has been said over one million times before now so what are we gonna derive from this article?

The truth is that even the ones criticizing the corrupt politicians will eventually get corrupt if elcted or given political positions and power. So who is that blameless man that will change history in Nigeria?
