| BREAKING NEWS: Presidency Sets To Replace Jega by Joshkid(op): 5:12pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
With the postponement of the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the Presidency has launched a two-pronged war to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan wins the elections beyond any doubt Vanguard reports. The two strategies are to stop Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate from contesting the election with President Jonathan and the replacement of Prof Attahiru Jega the INEC Chairman, with a less independent minded person. Jega has been described by hawks around the president of being too independent-minded and ‘uncooperative’ despite being given the job on a platter of gold by the president’s men. According to Vanguard, Jega might have unwittingly played into the hands of the forces arrayed against him by agreeing to shift the elections. The move to remove him (Jega) and the legal fireworks against Buhari, would be taken up simultaneously with effect from this week given the time frame made possible by the shift. Although Jega reluctantly succumbed to pressure from the Presidency and its security chiefs to shift the polls, he might still not be allowed by the forces to conduct the rescheduled elections between March 28 and April 11. Vanguard gathered from competent sources that the Presidency was no longer comfortable with Jega and was, therefore, working tirelessly to get him out of the commission to pave the way for a more ‘trusted hand’ to conduct the rescheduled elections. It was learnt that the forces arrayed against the INEC boss had convinced the President not to renew Jega’s tenure, which is expected to lapse on June 13 this year. The forces, it was learnt, felt that Jega was rather too ‘difficult’ to deal with, having not allowed himself to be dictated to by anyone since assuming office like other appointees of the government. The Presidency is considering bringing in another academic from the South-West, who is currently heading a tertiary institution in the country. The professor of Political Science and International Relations is said to be a sibling of a serving governor in the South-West, who is a close ally of President Jonathan and his party. As a prelude to removing Jega from office, some close allies of the President had started accusing him of taking side with the opposition to undermine the success of Jonathan and his party in the next election. However it would be recalled that, President Jonathan’s godfather, Chief Edwin Clark had accused Prof. Jega of working against the interest of the president and the PDP and asked him to resign from the commission.

After this one some aggrieved political cohorts will find a new adjective for Mr. President. Its amazing what the power of incumbency can do, while dey don't see anythin good with postponding the election because of how less dey care about their own lives, we dare to say we value ours and do not wish to be victims of polling Unit suicide bombings and post election crisis. You ask why d army be involved in our elections and I ask you why dey were in 2011 and u never said a thing. Sentiments are just weak emotions, you live happier and longer being logical. Try it and thank me later. |
