Honestly, I'm tired of all this. Let election just come and go sef. Everyday 'sources' 'sources' 'sources', allegations without proofs etc.

The president has no constitutional power to remove the INEC chairman, as reported by this same people. Last I checked, the APC is now the majority of the house so why fret over something they have the power to decide. No need smearing the office of the president.

This is a democratic country, not a dictatorship or absolute monarchy like Botswana.

Jega is going on routine terminal leave. Maurice Iwu did the same. It's standard practice.

''Jega has a five-year tenure which is renewable under Section 155 of the constitution. There is no provision for sabbatical or terminal leave. He is not a civil servant to be ordered by the head of service to proceed on leave and in any case, you can't go on leave when the basic duty for which the constitution has appointed you is being performed. So there is no room for resignation or sabbatical leave''. - Femi Falana, SAN

That is Falana's opinion. It does not make it right.

I have utmost respect for men and women who can never be compromised. Jega is one of those people who can never be compromised when discharging their duties. Jega is a man of honor. He should hold his head high.

It is now left to our competent lawyers to show this lawless president that there is law that says INEC Chairman is not a civil servant that can be asked to leave his post without the 2/3 of the Senate agreeing to it. Jega is not being paid by federal government. Jega is not a civil servant. The law only grants the president the power to nominate INEC Chairman. Power to nominate is different from power to appoint or sack.

sincerenigerian:
And does your own opinion make it right? Don't forget I called you a dreamer.

HzRF:
Jega is honest yet millions would have been disenfranchised assuming his "preparedness" claims is towed


What an honest man

Noviolence2015:
Based on precedence; YES my opinion is more plausible.

Knowledge is not infinite but common sense is not common. This may explain your views.

Why should anyone blame Jega when southerners believe they know it all and ignore their basic right to vote when they refused to pick up PVCs? It is not the fault of Jega that people are not picking up. Southerners are just too busy with making money. My own people did not even care to pick up PVC until about January 30th after I called them several times to do so. It was my mum who went with my dad's and brother's temporary cards and international passports to collect their PVCs for them. They released the PVCs to my mum on my brother and dad's behalf.

No one should blame Jega for that.

Period... His allegiance to Nigeria is in doubts. Thus he is no more fit to perform national duties since the same regional bug that bit Buhari when he was PTF chairman has bitten him. Bug that made Buhari execute over 80% of PTF project in the North.

Same bug that made him cancel Lagos metro line when he was a dictator has bitten Jega. Otherwise how do we explain the disparity nature of PVC distribution in the north and southern part of Nigeria? #jegamustgo
