i will only talk if power does not improve or at least stay steady

We pray and hope that this man will continue from where Nnaji stopped. Power generation has to increase, this all we ask for

Whether the new man is a Yoruba or Ibo, it doesn't really matter. We need power, anyone that can gurantee us that is the perfect man for the job. I wish him well in his new appointment.

[s]Chief Sumner Karibi Dagogo-Jack (born 1930) was chairman of the National Electoral Commission of Nigeria (NECON) appointed by President Sani Abacha, holding office from 1994 to 1998.[1]

Dagogo-Jack served as a member of the Humphrey Nwosu electoral commission (1989–1993) and was later appointed chairman of the National Electoral Commission of Nigeria.[2] His commission was reportedly not impartial, but was controlled by Abacha.[3] [b]Under Dagogo-Jack, NECON registered five political associations, none led by credible politicians. These were United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP), Congress for National Consensus (CNC), Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN), National Centre Party of Nigeria (NCPN) and Grassroots Democratic Movement (GDM). The purpose was to ensure that Abacha would become the sole presidential candidate, supported by all parties.[4]
[/b]The commission conducted elections for the local government councils and the National Assembly.[1] NECON overstepped the bounds of its authority in some cases. For example, shortly before the March 1997 local government elections, Dagogo-Jack nullified the positions of National Leader in the NCPN and National Coordinator in the DPN, which he said were in violation of the parties' constitutions.[5] The elected officers had not been inaugurated when Abacha died suddenly in June 1998, and his successor Abdulsalami Abubakar initiated a fresh electoral process that would lead to the establishment of the Nigerian Fourth Republic in May 1999.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Dagogo-Jack

[color=#000099]Aside from the above, i don't know much about this individual. My concern is that this man should have enough expertise to provide Nigerians with power (where he comes from not withstanding). Let this not be an appointment based on "settlement" sha.

I think the guy's name is Mr. Reynold Dagogo-Jack and not Chief Sumner Karibi Dagogo-Jack as your post suggests.

Ratatatatatata kpooooom! Place of origin is inconsequential. All we need is steady power. If not for the administrative twist in power privatization, Nnaji did well. All Dagogo needs is improve on what is on ground.

He should settle down start immediately. So much needs to be done. No time for long thing

Oh, my bad. Thanks a million.

I hope he does a good job.

Nice CV. I just pray you deliver

Biggyd2: Chief Sumner Karibi Dagogo-Jack (born 1930) was chairman of the National Electoral Commission of Nigeria (NECON) appointed by President Sani Abacha, holding office from 1994 to 1998.[1]

He is 82??

Kobojunkie:

He is 82??

We know you are foolish so stop seeking attention with it. It is not mandatory that you must show cause why you are foolish always. The Man's name is not Chief summer Dagogo Jack but Reynolds Dagogo Jack. It's clearly and boldly written in that piece. The Reynolds Dagogo Jack is not 82 as you can see from that YOUTUBE video. Make haste to watch it and stop embarrassing your self here.

Kobojunkie:

He is 82??

Sorry, he is not the one. Got the names mixed up..

Hahahahahahahhhhhhh! Igbo Kwenu! The president promised In Anambra State to replace Nnaji with a fellow Igbo man., barely a week ago
he was quickly endorsed for 2015.

Dagogo-Jack has an impressive CV though, lets hope his appointment would result in stable power
