I created a thread yesterday based on discussion I head with prominent man ((name withheld) in Kebbi State. https://www.nairaland.com/2171244/pressure-jonathan-sack-inec-chairman We are ready for Jonathan. Go ahead and push Jega out illegally and see what happens. Abacha and Babangida tried it but they failed. Jonathan will definitely fail. If you can win an election, you change the umpire. Jega has done nothing wrong. 172 Likes 4 Shares |

[b]"Alleged terminal leave, illegal —Falana, Ubani In their separate reactions, rights lawyers, including Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), insisted that President Goodluck Jonathan lacked the power to either sack Jega, or send him on a terminal leave. A former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Monday Ubani, and Mr. Malachy Ugwummadu, also spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH in separate interviews. They cited provisions of Section 158 of the constitution as providing that the INEC Chairman could only be sacked with the approval of two-third majority of the members of the Senate. Falana also explained that Section 155 of the constitution conferred independence on the INEC chairman with immunity from any directive or influence from any person or authority. The senior advocate said, “At his last presidential chat, the president gave the erroneous impression that he could hire and fire the chairman of INEC. With profound respect, that is not correct. “By virtue of Section 155 of the constitution, the INEC chairman has a renewable five-year tenure. The appointment and removal has to be by the resolution of no less than a two-third majority of the Senate. “Before the resolution is passed, the President will need to address the Senate and justify the reasons on the need to remove the INEC chairman on account of his inability to discharge his duties. “On the issue of sending Jega on terminal leave, the President has no power to do that because once appointed, the INEC chairman is not subject to the control or directive of any power or authority by virtue of Section 158 of the constitution.” On his part, Ugwummadu, said beyond the constitutional provisions conferring immunity against undue influence on the INEC chairman, Nigerians were paying close attention to any plot to remove the INEC boss. He said, “The idea of sacking Prof. Attahiru Jega has been making the rounds and should be watched carefully just as we have remained circumspect regarding the further shift of the elections.” Ubani threatened to personally lead a “nationwide crusade” against the President should there be any attempt by his administration to remove Jega, having earlier publicly promised that he (President Jonathan) had no such intention." [/b] Because Jonathan got away with illegality he did with Sanusi, he now thinks he can get away with this. The courts are there to settle this. 112 Likes 2 Shares |

...Are you better off now than you were 6 years ago before President Jonathan was sworn in as president after the death of President Umaru Yaradua? Are Nigerians living a higher quality of life now than before because they have access to better, good paying jobs, better healthcare, better education and infrastructure, power or electricity that has removed the need to invest in diesel generators? What is your perception of corruption in the country? Follow links in my signature, NL is blocking any information that does not or may not favour the current government...? 32 Likes 1 Share

Madness is when you think voting a Buhari will automatically land GOODLUCK & FAYOSE in Kirikiri, while TINUBU & AMAECHI moves freely from Lagos to Bayelsa, Abuja to Delta. What is madness?

berem: I've been saying it repeatedly, GEJ is a goner with anti-rigging measures put in place by Jega led commission. Nigerians seem not to aware that PDP has been winning presidential elections since 1999 by engaging in heavy rigging. It is not going to be business as usual under Jega . Why do you think it is presidency who is fighting the plan use of card reader by the inec? They understands what that potend. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

Ok 1. This is a better news than Mimiko 2. No need to sack Jega and replace with his commissioners. 3. This is first day of March. 4. There are only 28 working days left for Jega and any changes would not influence the preparedness of INEC whatsoever. 5. There is really no time for 11hour magic for ruling party to win this election. 6. The post above me is sickening; don't know why nothing has been to done to Poster since February 2015. 7. The post below resembles that from a PDP person. 8. Sincerenigerian is now winning my heart with his style of argument. Abeg take like from my post jare. 9. Come what may, Jonathan would lose gallantly to the superior numerical advantage and support of Buhari. Sai Buhari Meanwhile the Mass has ended, let us go in Peace to love and serve the Lord. Thanks Be To God. Amen. 35 Likes 3 Shares |

Prof Jega had four years to prepare for this election but wasted it. He had planned to rig not only the election but also 2016 census in favour of North-East and North-west by allocating unimaginable extra polling units to the zone until he was forcefully stopped by the Senate from applying his option A. Then Jega decided to use inequitable distribution of PVC as option B to rig the election where he allow proxies to collect and distribute in the North while dumping that of the South in various INEC offices across the regions with a stringent set of rules. To make the matter worst Prof Jega wants to use the loophole in our constitution and electoral law known as substantial compliance to legally deny millions of voters across South their PVC in order to reduce their regional voting power and population estimate Jega has contributed negatively to fall in Naira against the dollar by repeated lying on the fathom readiness of INEC before 14th Feb, 2014. The uncertainty in today's market was created by Jega for blaming security forces by extension the government for the shift in date of the election instead of accepting partial responsibility if not total. 33 Likes 2 Shares |
