Do you remember the former INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner [REC] in
Ekiti State, Mrs Ayoka Adebayo who resigned from office last week? INEC
chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega has said it is not yet Uhuru for her.

Mrs Adebayo was the INEC resident electoral commissioner in Ekiti State when
the governorship re-run election was fraudulently rigged in favour of Segun Oni’
s led Peoples Democratic Party [PDP's] in the state.


Jega who fielded questions from participants at a one day workshop on
''Promoting Good Governance and Citizens Access to Public Policies'' put
together for civil society organizations and professional groups in Abuja
yesterday said that under his watch, INEC now has a silent revolution going on
where by all the commission's staff who conducted elections that are later
voided by courts, would face prosecution.

This inquisition will however not include those conducts and electoral offences
that were upturned by election tribunals or law courts before the coming on
board of his [Jega's] regime.

The INEC Chairman said he prefers a silent war against the Commission's staff
that failed in their duties rather than celebrate such cleansing campaign on the
pages of newspapers.

His words, ''certainly we are doing a lot but we are doing it quietly. What we have
done as a new commission, we said we are not going to go back to 2007, to
start investigating who has done what and to begin to penalize people''.

''But we said we will start from the court judgments that have been given since
we came in as a new commission. So all those court judgments that have given
since we came in as a new commission, if they have indicted people either by
name or office, we have commenced investigations and we have commenced
the process of addressing those problems''.

''Many of them, we declare the electoral offences they have committed and we
will prosecute them. This is the way we are doing it. It is an effort of in-house
cleaning and we are doing it. It is not something that you engage in the public''.

He added that ''everybody now knows that the resident Electoral Commissioner
in Ekiti, who was posted to Ondo State, has resigned. So it is all part of that
process. First of all, we rely on solid ground, we have judgments that have
indicted people and depending on the level of indictment, we proceed with what
to do in order to address the situation. It is better than fighting the battle on the
pages of newspapers which is what Nigerians want us to do''

In another development, the Chairman of Independent National Electoral
Commission Prof. Attahiru Jega  has said there will no ``sacred cow'' in
prosecuting electoral offences in next year’s  general elections 

Speaking at a National Dialogue entitled ``Toward an Inclusive and Participatory
2011 election'' organised by the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC) in
collaboration with INEC, Jega insisted that the commission will not condone
impunity.

His words "the commission will be very serious about dictating electoral offences,
certainly with evidence and prosecuting electoral offenders no matter how high
or how low they are."

muhahahhahhahahaha!!!

I have so many stuff to call this woman. . . . but e be like she is 90yrs old, older than my grandmama. I no fit

Starting from the court judgements that were given after you came into office is pretty silly in my opinion. So what is the difference between the other RECs and Madam Ayoka? Time? Change of baton? Makes little sense.

If he does this, Ekiti people will appreciate him for it. Now if we can find a way to get Akunyili and the others who helped her get away with last year's debacle. Nigerian people are entitled to knowing the truth of last year's shame -- and those responsible need to be made to pay.

Walks in,reads the post,ponders,yawns,hiss and walks out singing NA TODAY WE START TO HEAR THIS KIND STORY.STORY STORY STORY E DON TAY

This might as well be like a tentacle that would draw all connected to it into the dragnet and how beautiful that would be. Also the people connected with the overturned elections in Delta and Osun States should not be left out. This will definitely be a good signal to those planning mischief towards 2011 elections that times have indeed changed.

''Many of them, we declare the electoral offences they have committed and we
will prosecute them. This is the way we are doing it. It is an effort of in-house
cleaning and we are doing it. It is not something that you engage in the public''.

So, what is the secret?
In any case. . . please do not persecute her,
We do not want all those ugly, old strippers in front of the world protesting with hideous, grey-bearded nudity do we?

Is this the same woman tha resigned cos she said her conscience as a mother and woman and religious beliefs were conflicting with whats expected of her to do as the state Inec chairman
