Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by mrofficial(m): 12:27pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
The crises in the wake of the aborted National Assembly elections almost came to a head late Saturday night when a frustrated Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] chairman Professor Attahiru Jega offered to resign at a heated meeting of the National Security Council chaired by President Jonathan at the Aso Rock Villa, government sources revealed yesterday. |

Jega has shown his lack of sophistication and a large element of incompetence. If you can't even get the ballot papers printed and shipped into the country on time, how much trust should be placed on his ability to conduct a free and fair elections? If the military could have helped with logistics then Jega was foolish to refuse their help, unless he had doubts about their impartiality. Secondly, the hurried and ill thought postponement to Monday showed he's not really thinking through some of his actions. He has a week to get his act in order and potentially write his name in gold as the organiser of the best elections in the country. |

I think the man has been commended in some quarters for coming out bluntly and revealing THE TRUE situation of issues. Thumbs up,and hoping to improve and correct all anomalies before Saturday. |

The man is just too . . . . . inept! |

If this is true then I agree with GEJ. Jega's resignation at this particular time is totally unacceptable, he should finish what he has started. His appointment as INEC boss was not done by force, so now things are nearing the D-Day he should live up to the responsibilities that he choose to shoulder. |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by akkeem(m): 12:52pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
I think Jega is being real, but his resignation will not help matters at this stage. He should at least conclude this general elections. |

too bad |

Yes. If it were some Iwus this election will still hold and as usual results will be announced in favour of the 'favourites' This man came out and told the nation that there was a problem and he admitted being at fault. I remember very well 2 years ago when the supposedly winner of an election admitting that there was flaws instead of the INEC officials. |

Arise Oh Nigerians!! Treason is coming next to you. For the fact that you have never slept with your wife in 5 years- That is treason. If you doubt me ask GEJ and his chief law officer. |

I have nothing to say to Jega now, until the elections on Saturday have been conducted. Let me see how he fares with that, then I would know whether his intended resignation is truly befitting of him. |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by paolodiego: 1:02pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
I sincerely pity the poor man. Given that sort of job in just months to the elections and expecting a miracle from Jega was asking too much. If he was able to pull it off in that short time i would have dubbed my hat for the man. Expecially with all those corrupt and smelling eggs left from the Guobadia and Iwu era who were never prosecuted. The head may be good but the body may be rotten; so what can u expect from such a scenario? |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by efisher(m): 1:04pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
I don't think the man has been able to sleep for days! I do not ever want to be in such a situation. God help him. |

I think the man has been commended in some quarters for coming out bluntly and revealing THE TRUE situation of issues. Come on plz, the guy has spent well over N85 NILLION, if that was a project and delivery day was shifted with no notice , It will be classified as a Failed Project |

Hehehehe, maybe someone or some people are already telling him to rig in their favor. |

Naija,very difficult place for right things to work, Police currupt,Military eager for power,Politicians are armed robbers,As for Jega i respect him for admitting where INEC had issues,6 days is enough for his name to be written in GOD,I can bet everything if we still had Sir Mauritania Iwu the election would still hold and results would have been declared. On a lighter note, Iwu really helped lawyers, so many cases so many controversies, lawyers were paid for such services |

Jega has shown his lack of sophistication and a large element of incompetence. If you can't even get the ballot papers printed and shipped into the country on time, how much trust should be placed on his ability to conduct a free and fair elections? @debosky, they are not telling us the truth. the inec woman in ekiti ran away and was forced back to announce what she was told to announce. jega is still contemplating to compromise considering how rich he is now. the preasure is much from pdp. jega is aware of the situation as nigerians are watching with both eyes wide open. the streets will know no peace if he compromises and pdp will know no peace if he does not. jega1 is right in between the egyptians and the red sea so a moses and a red is needed. if what these criminals are saying is true, what is wrong in a man resigning if he considers himself a failure? pdp forced vincent ogbulafor out of office and replaced him with nwodo who was also forced to resign. if pdp forced their chairman to resign, why can't they let a man to resign willingly since he can't dance to their tone. God will catch them this time. the wicked has been in charge and we have been suffering so let the righteous take over so that we will rejoice. let jega resign and then let jonathan finish his tenure may and let everybody play from a neutral ground after all, nigeria is used to auto-piloting. |

@ideylaff, I am short of word to describe ur ignorance. Will money work by itself?, without time to prepare, is it Jega that wil empower the economy so we dont have to import paper from japan?.Iwu allowed elections to go on when he knew it was floored ,voting til 7pm,and bound to fail,we showted, nw a credible man postponed an election he knew would be floored,here u re shouting. In 12yrs PDP has spent 16 billion dollars yet no light,trillions no road,no hope bt yet people like u wil vote umblerra in d name of minority and goodluck.Why nt shout!!!. |

Jega please do not resign 0o0o0o0o let us vote out the bad party then you free to resign after you give us the result |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by wiseman2011(m): 1:52pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
Prof. Jaga choose to resign his appointment as inec boss because his credibilities is in doubt, I had said it before and I am still saying it again let us give this honest man a chance to proof himself as man of integrity and credibilities. My prayer is that time shall tell whather election is going to be free and fair, but notwithstanding let us be postive about the election. |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by aribisala0(m): 1:53pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
s debosky:to a large extent i would agree with you but another way of looking at it is like this; the job requires competence in the area of operations and logistics(getting men and materials to the right place at the right time. in other words a technical job)this is a very complex area more within the area of industry such as the retail sector,courier services and the military. i am talking of the technical aspects here and not suggesting that the military should have been involved. there is nothing in jega's cv to suggest he is qualified for this job from a technical perspective. as inec chairman he is functioning as a chief executive not a non-executive chairman .this requires hands on day to day involvement, except for maybe integrity as widely touted jega has been an academic and does not have previous experience to justify his appointment at such short notice. true june12 was conducted by another professor but there is a huge difference it was not a rushed job and it was under a military government. people were not as desperate in that election as they now are so i blame those who gave him the job in the first place and i blame him for accepting. it is like appointing ngozi okonjo-iweala a coach of the super eagles she would be incompetent and unsophisticated in that role, however i believe he is a competent and sophisticated man within his area of expertise. conducting elections is not it |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by babytoun: 1:55pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
poeple will not just post and try to make sense. What we should be asking is if the electoral act provide for the INec chairman resigning in the middle of an election without open holes for serious legal battles after the elections? |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by Kobojunkie: 1:57pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
^^^ How does that change anything of this ? I mean what in the world does that do to allay the fears we now have of this election proceeding as smoothly as we would have loved? I mean before you castigate people for not seeing things in the way you do, at least be sure your way makes more sense . . . . |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by Ibime(m): 1:58pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
Honourable of him to offer his resignation, but we will wait till after the elections to score him. |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by Kobojunkie: 2:00pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
Here's hoping these folks get their acts together and give us a free and fair election come Saturday, or something that closely resembles one at least! I know Nigeria and drama, especially throughout the PDP years, have been tight twins . . . but some of us are tired of the 'EXCITEMENT' and need some slow down time to recuperate and decide if we want to continue with the same . . . |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by babaowo: 2:04pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
nah wha ooooooo naija n drama lol |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by debosky(m): 2:14pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
Ibime: It didn't sound honourable to me. . . .from the accounts it sounded like a petulant 'I no dey do again' after coming under heavy criticism. Jega has been given a virtual carte blanche at INEC, funding provided and whatnot. . . .for a contractor he appointed to deliver shows he clearly didn't learn his lesson, especially after the first contractor disappointed him as well. For crying out loud, if the issue was simply 'delivery' of the cargo to Nigeria, he could easily have requested the army to dispatch a C-130 to the location and ship in the materials instead of falling for dodgy promises. That aside, it was a good thing that he didn't attempt to force through the elections while being unprepared. Some lawyers must've been licking their lips at the possibility of multiple law suits and appeals to challenge results if the elections held. |

Resignation amounts to treason? hmmm, I think there's more than meets the eye. Wouldnt surprise me if JEGA's corpse is found a day AFTER the result. [s]BTW, I've been thinking JEGA was Goodluck's name initials: Jona Ebele Goodluck Azik [/s] |
Re: Jega Offers To Resign, Jonathan Rejects; Resignation Amounts To Treason – Agf by Excllncy(m): 2:23pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
I think Mr. President deserve commendation for not interfering all this while. A man of integrity, he will win by the grace of God. |
