Jega won't be sacked, he will simply be required by constitutional provisions to proceed on terminal leave which is compulsory three months to the end of a public servant's tenure.

It is entirely constitutional ...
Same thing am saying. GEJ said Jega wud conduct d election

Bro, why will GEJ sack Jega that's about to continue his administrative retirement leave?

Jega will go on his retirement leave, and NOTHING will happen.

GEJ is winning the elections!
What kind of administrative retirement leave are you talking about, is prof. Jega a civil servant or political appointee nominated by Gej and confirm by senate for a four years tenure

Speculations that President Goodluck Jonathan intends to fire the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, before the general elections, intensified Friday after the Federal Government refused to give a clear commitment on the matter.
Responding to concerns that the electoral chief would soon be mandated to proceed on a terminal leave, the Minister of Information‎, Edem Duke, gave an uncertain response, saying Mr. Jega’s exit will follow a “natural course”.
Although he re-echoed President Goodluck Jonathan’s comments last two weeks that he had not informed anyone of any plans to sack the INEC boos, Mr. Duke said that did not imply that when it is time for Mr. Jega “to naturally exit his office, then the natural course of things will not take place”.
“I think all of that is in the terrain of the Presidency and he has spoken. I have nothing to add to that,” he added.
On Thursday, members of the Nigerian Senate belonging to the All Progressives Congress, APC, had accused Mr. Jonathan of plotting to ask Mr. Jega to proceed on pre-retirement leave next week.

They promised to resist the alleged plot.

Mr. Duke criticised the APC for fuelling speculations about Mr. Jega’s removal.
“I will also like to say once on that issue. I recall that for several weeks now, people keep threatening the President on the shift in the date of the poll. You begin to wonder that parties have a couple of extra weeks in order to reinvigorate their campaigns and try to reach as many voters as possible,” he said.
“Rather than do that, you begin to identify imaginary pockets of unlikely developments and then focus your attention on them and then when you lose election, you begin to complain.”

Northern elders reject move to sack Jega

Meanwhile, the Northern Elders Forum has warned the presidency to jettison any plot to remove Mr. Jega head of the general elections, saying such move will be a ​”​recipe for disaster​”​.
The spokesperson for the group, Ango Abdullahi, said “any attempt at this last minute by this government or its agency to remove Jega is a clear message that this govern­ment is determined to rig an election in which they see Jega as an impediment simply because he thinks that the commission must follow the rules for a free and fair and credible elec­tion”.
Sacking “Jega at this material time will be a recipe for disaster”, Mr. Abdullahi warned at a press conference Friday.
He said the excuse given for postponement of the general elections, earlier scheduled for February 14 and 28, to March 28 and April 11, was “flimsy, clumsy and indefensible”.
Speaking against background of security concern cited for the poll shift, he said, “the NEF viewed it as unacceptable because only a small frac­tion of the security per­sonnel in the country are directly engaged in the battle against insurgency within the north east en­clave of the country.
“We also know that even in countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan , Sri Lanka and more recently Afghanistan where full scale wars were still rag­ing when they decided that election could still be held and indeed were held.”
Stating further, he accused the “the ruling elite” of plot to scuttle the elections and ‎ultimately Nigeria’s democracy.

jega's terminal leave is constitutional, there's nothing the northern elders and apc law makers can do to resist a legal move like this. If they had not made any pre-arrangment with jega in their favour, why then do they want him to stay in office even when he's supposed to be on terminal leave.......they're joking

Why is it that majority of those who want Nigeria to divide supports Jonathan? I believe there must be something cooking.

PDP should better stay clear of Jega. The best the party can do now is help Jonathan is packing his load.
Jega will go, nothing, I mean nothing will happen. After you threatened armagedom if election is postponed, what did you do? Nothing.
Empty drum makes much noise.

Re: Sacking Jega “recipe For Disaster” – Northern Elders by WisdomFlakes: 1:02pm On Feb 28, 2015
The naked truth is that GEJ lacks the requisite numbers to win this election. Little wonder why he's bent on forcing out Jega to pave the way for a stooge who will help him rig.

If I were Jonathan I would panic too coz the two largest geopolitical zones that will decide this election, SW & NW, have already rejected him.

shatap you bloody hypocrite. Was it not the same Jega that conducted the 2011 that brought jonathan to power? Just because you fools have seen the hand-writing on the wall that no miracle will stop jonathan's defeat on march 28/29 this year, now you disgusting elements are looking for a easy way out. You ediots know Jega can't be bought with money or any other thing because he is also one incorruptible personality, and that's why you fools want to do away with him so that your stooge that will do your evil bidding will be replace.

Inec is an independent organization, so Jonathan have no right to sack Jega. Hope you know that jega is not a civil servant?

Anyway it all boils down to "Jonathan truncating the constitution by sacking the election umpire just some days to the general election and APC will boycott the election".

Re: Sacking Jega “recipe For Disaster” – Northern Elders by mandax: 1:42pm On Feb 28, 2015
If former Chairman of National Population Commission, Festus Odumegwu, could leave NPC because gov. Kwankwaso said that his north would not want Odumegwu to conduct the next census, there must not be any fuss if Attahiru Jega leaves INEC now, since many leaders from the south of Nigeria, including former VP Alex Ekwueme, SAN Femi Okunrounmi, former federal Information Minister Edwin Clark, etc., had persistently stated that they see Jega as being biased and requested that Jega does not conduct the next general election.

In Jega truly sees himself as a neutral person who has no ethnic or religious interests to protect in the next election, he should have quietly resigned over these expressions of distrust on him.
