Jega Insists INEC Is Ready For Elections by olokfor: 2:44pm On Feb 18, 2015
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega on Wednesday insisted that the commission was ready to conduct the general elections.



Jega, who appeared before the Senate, said the commission is almost done with the production of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).



He stated the six weeks period of extension for the election will further ensure free and fair elections.

Jega also used his appearance before the Upper Chamber to display the workings of the PVCs and Card Reader Machines to the Senators.



He insisted that the commission will not allow the use of Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) for the elections, saying that would create problems during the elections.

Jega is still before the Senate as at the time this report was filed.

Having successfully destroying PDP. OBJ must be enjoying all the political affection and attention he is getting at the moment. I am just worried that OBJ and Tinubu who couldn't see eye to eye a few years ago are now best of pals singing the same song and somehow Atiku and OBJ, two sworn enemies are in the same camp endorsing a man they jointly defeated in the 2003 polls. I am confused about this kind of change where corrupt ex presidents and VP implicated in the Haliburton scam are also shouting corruption. The same Haliburton scandal that fetched a US congressman jail time. I can still stomach Buhari but the presence of these guys back in the presidency makes me jittery: Atiku, OBJ and Tinubu all in one group. Beware of this sophisticated pimps. I believe they joined the change train to protect their investments and interest. Nigerians shine your eyes, this isn't change, this is continuation. This is the reason we must be careful about politician, they become united when they smell power and money. Our participation is all they need not our contribution.
Buhari though disciplined to an extent cannot do it alone at that age. Nigeria is a lot more volatile and complex than what it used to be in the early 80s. These are the guys to advice him and place people into positions that matter. May we eventually get the change we actually wished for. Before you join them in heating up the polity ensure you get a guarantee from them that they, their children, wives, friends who have benefited from them would be the first line of defence while we follow from a distance. If they are so passionate about this democracy and want to show their full commitment then they must lead by example starting from the battle field. Since they love us so much then they must show it first by leading any protest that may occur as a result of any anomalies from the forthcoming election. Jonathan might join APC tomorrow and he would be welcomed with pomp and pageantry. Do not lose sleep or your life over them, they are only doing their jobs. Remember 3 million people died in the Civil war, there are no monuments to even recognise or appreciate the blood they sacrificed for Nigeria which unfortunately is still a country not a nation. The seams joining us are bursting at the hems due to the magnanimity and genourosity of our politician preaching division and hate. Please protect your life. Do not promote or encourage violence, Nigerians will suffer most.

If they are still producing PVCs like he said, plus the revelation today by the Cross River REC, then the postponement of the election is justified. Hopefully, by the new date (March 28 and April 11), everything will be in place.
