Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, has said that former President, Goodluck Jonathan, never interfered with the 2015 general elections.

In an interview with Jamie Hitchen, a Policy Researcher at Africa Research Institute, Jega commended the former President, saying he meant well for “our democracy”.

According to the former INEC boss, Jonathan granted all the financial requests of INEC.

He said: “The administration of Goodluck Jonathan, President from 2010 to 2015, never gave any reason to suspect that there was a deliberate and willful attempt to emasculate the funding of INEC.

“For this, they should be applauded. No situation arose where we had to go cap-in-hand to the Executive looking for funding, and I must add that when supplementary funding was needed, it was nearly always forthcoming.

For most of the time during our tenure, President Jonathan tried not to personally interfere with the Commission’s work.

“Only in the run-up to the 2015 election did his government and ruling political party seek to interfere with the decision of INEC to use electronic card readers.

“We were able to remind them that they had supported the idea and funded it. Overall, I think that President Jonathan meant well for democracy in our country, a view strengthened by the gracious way he conceded electoral defeat in 2015.”

He said the experiences of the Anambra election of 2013, and Osun, Ekiti in 2014, helped the Commission to prepare well for the 2015 general elections.

Is he now regretting his role in bringing Buhari to power?

Except that few individuals never wanted his dreams and aspirations to see the light of the day

Eh eh! So he knows... Yet he collected money from that Cow just to tarnish GEJ image.....

Well,you get to know the impact or value of something/someone when you lose or let them go.


Grooving to my song.....
You only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it start to snow/rain
Only hit the road when you're missing home and
Only know you lover when you let him/her go.


The truth always comes slow but,it goes so far.

you read in-between the lines

2017 news ...

Guilty conscience!

We knew President Jonathan meant well for the country, unfortunately the men and women around him did not!

Same thing happening right now. Buhari means well but his henchmen really don't care about the country but their pockets and nepotism[quote]

Meant well for northerners.

He meant well and give you free hand, you sold pur freedom and democracy to thieves and terrorists because of religion and ethnicity. Jega put Nigeria where we ere today.

the question now is did u mean well?

Jonathan and Buhari meant well for Nigeria but they are both failure. We will keep looking.

Stupid idiots! After u have helped in bringing the tempest upon us. Thunder kill u dere!

That is just it. Who else agreed with us on this?

.

What is this one saying?

While Buhari means evil for this country

To be honest GEJ meant well for this country, which was one of the reasons Sowore helped to expose the Yaradua cabal. Only that he was hijacked and became clueless.

OP you failed to add sauce to this delicious looking meal, so we reject it in its entirety!
