But sentiments aside, if Jega is dead today won't election hold in Nigeria? What is the noise about him going on terminal leave or not? The civil service rules are clear on this. Jega is indeed living on borrowed time. If the president, decides he proceed on terminal leave so be it.

Someone please assist. Our governor don smoke gari again o. He is displaying serious crazy again

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described outbursts of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the possible removal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega as “mere comedy,” saying; “President Goodluck Jonathan can sack Jega if he wishes and if he does, heavens will not fall.”

The governor, who said the APC should stop acting as if Nigeria belongs to the party, added that; “by turning themselves to advocates and defenders of the INEC chairman, the APC and its agents have shown that they have a deal with Jega to manipulate the elections and that the deal will be frustrated if he is asked to leave office.”

Governor Fayose said in a release issued on Wednesday, and signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, that “removal of Jega and any other appointees of the

Federal Government is a prerogative of the president, which no one can question, provided laid down rules are followed.”

He said the position expressed by the House of Representatives was that of the APC members in the House, urging that “the APC lawmakers should rather pay attention to the ill-health of their party’s presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), whose whereabouts is now a mystery.”

The governor described Jega as partisan, saying; “By his actions and utterances, Jega had already demonstrated his bias in support of the APC. For instance, how can Jega explain the 80 percent distribution of

Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in Boko Haram ravaged Borno and Yobe States while less than 40 percent distributed in Lagos as at February 7 that the election was postponed?”

He said; “It is on record that Prof Maurice Iwu was asked to proceed on terminal leave two months to the end of his tenure? Is Jega not a beneficiary of Iwu’s removal? So if Iwu was asked to go on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure for Jega to assume office, what difference does it make if Jega too is asked to proceed on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure?”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; “it is the president that can determine whether or not Jega will go on the mandatory three months terminal leave which should commence on March 8, and if the president decides that the INEC chairman should go on terminal leave, what can the APC loudmouths do?

“They boasted before the postponement of the elections that they would go on street protests, but did they do anything? They made noise when Justice Isa Ayo Salami was removed from office as president of the Court of Appeal, what did their noise amount to? “Therefore, let me say it categorically that the noise being made by the APC and their agents will amount to nothing because if thepresident removes Jega today, heavens will not fall.”

Foooolish foool u better pay me my money, instead if running ur mouth without caution

Fidoko:
If people can desist from giving Fayose the attention he so desired the better. Journalists and media organisations should know that stories about Fayose puts decent people off. Is Fayose the only PDP governor, why is he ridiculing the governorship seat and the people of Ekiti state.

nagoma:
Jega is not a civil servant my boy.

GboyegaD:
I think this guy is trying to steal the show from the president. It is high time our journalists stopped paying attention to him as he's losing his sanity of late.

Alimtoheeb:
What the hell is d problem of this man, he keep on jumping from one place to another, i dont think he has lay his hand on any project since he assume position dat he will surely be taken away from him when the Game CHANGER come to position. What is his problem. I see skeleton in his cupboard.

Obrigardo:
This man is a shame to our politics and democracy

kestolove95:
One of d 3 idiots dat has made our president to continue loose his supporters evriday...

Sunymoore:
Easy Fayose.. If Nigeria today falls, we the masses will suffer much, you may fly to other countries, but I swear you'll never have peace to enjoy your life and your loots there .. This applies to all other politicians..
Everybody should take it easy... We only have Nigeria.

hon4real:
Everyone here is laying insults on him, y? But u and I knw dat ll he said is true. And what's d big deal? If president feels Jega is working for any party with proofs, he need not gamble with his removal for a more credible election. My guy, make una think and don't b one way sided

onatisi:
bros ,relax ur mind . Nothing dey happen. Apc are just a bunch of noise makers . Nigeria is bigger than jega or any single individual so if jega is removed ,forget nothing will happen. People will go to work and continue living their normal lives .

LasgidyPort:
This Fayose is an embarrassment to the position of a governor he occupies. He just can't keep his ignorant mouth shut.

Fayose will be a typical case study for years to come of the type of person that should never be voted into any elective post.

The acclaimed learned people of Ekiti really goofed on this one.

J4parry:
Well said but even the president said it on national TV that there are no proofs to warrant his sack. As for terminal leave that's entirely up to the president but presently it's a very sensitive issue to toy with.

Sunymoore:
Let's hope for the best then... God bless all

Thuggish dumbo. Iwu was asked off at a time of lull, and not when elections was looming large, and right in the middle of preparation of one. Thats the one big difference foolish man

senseless dog u r

NDPVF:
Av' you seen how ju.seless you are?.@the underlined,is the bone of contention about the 'the time of sack' or the 'sackability' of jega?.
If Iwu was sacked and Jega benefited from it,then Jega can also be sacked.the question of time doesnt add up,because,assuming Jega die tomorrow(God forbid),it won't stop election because their is a blue already.
