A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega, has accused members of the National Assembly of seeking for bribes to carry out their constitutional duties.


Speaking while delivering the year’s Democracy Day lecture at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, on Monday, Mr Jega said he has “spoken to quite a number of chief executives who complained of high demand for bribes from members of the National Assembly in the name of so called oversight functions.”

The professor of Political Science, told the gathering, including President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen and other top government personalities that “some chairmen of committees at the National Assembly are notorious for seeking for bribes.”

The position of the former INEC Chairman confirms a story earlier published by PREMIUM TIMES in which some heads of government agencies complained of how National Assembly members were harassing them for bribe.

Aturu Jega should shut his goro chewing trap up. He is the king of bribe collectors and thats why he rigged the last election in favor of the APC. Nigerians are suffering now because of your greed and you have the guts to open that your gutter of a mouth to acuse someone else of bribery. Better go back to the cow dung you were hibanating in and remain shut, before Nigerians table your matter before Amadioha. Aturu Awusa

Legalized bribe. . I have always been an advocate that democracy is not for africa it is for westerners. Some will argue we are still in the process of tweaking and finetuning the process to make it work for us.... but for how long?

Just like this man, Prof. Jega

National Assembly has dragged there name to the mud, over 80% of the populace see them as thieves. the present leaders contributed so much in reducing them to this level

It cuts across board. We are all guilty.
