At last, Acting President Goodluck Jonathan sacked Maurice Iwu, the controversial chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Iwu has been directed to proceed on pre-disengagement leave immediately.
The INEC boss whose tenure expires on June 13, 2010 has been been directed to hand over to the most senior national commissioner, who shall oversee the activities of the commission pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.

Ima Niboro, senior special assistant on media and publicity said in a statement last night that the sacking of Iwu is in accordance with Section 155(1) (c) of the disengagement procedure of INEC officials.

“The Acting President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has directed the Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Maurice Iwu, to proceed on pre- disengagement leave with immediate effect,” he said.

“The Acting President’s directive is in consonance with Section 155(1) (c), which stipulates that the Chairman and members of the Independent Electoral Commission shall hold office for a period of five years,” Niboro stated further

“The Acting President thanked the out going Chairman of INEC for his service to the nation and wished him success in his future endeavours,” he said in the statement.
