Even Jega is taking a public shot at Buhari.
He was effectively saying that although GEJ was considered weak, the much hyped strongman that was foist on us as a replacement turned into a bigger disaster.

But you help in giving us a lifeless president.

How did he helped? Buhari won. And that slowpoke call Jonathan got kicked out.

But coming election. Buhari too will be kicked out. If any party can produce any credible and competent candidate.
Or else buhari will still be the president. And nothing anybody can do about that

“What we require most are the competence and capacity of leaders to take decisions and be assertive in ensuring that those decisions are actually implemented. So, we have to be very careful in thinking that a strong leader can really help.

A true leader has a long-term vision and the short-term plan to work on it. He is prepared to put the organization, the country, before his own needs. That sense of sacrifice is needed

And that was why you imposed your competent Buhari on Nigerians, JEGA..........God will judge you for this calamity you brought on us, you bite the hand that fed you....you betrayed Jonathan and PDP all for northern political conquest, I hope you are happy now seeing what every Nigerians is going through..........Now listen,,,,,,We do not want to hear a word from you untill you apologizes to Jonathan, PDP and every Nigerian for bringing a terror to our seat of power.


12Ebisco:
A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Attahiru Jega, has mentioned that Nigeria needs competent leaders and not necessarily strong leaders.

According to Jega, an incompetent leader who is strong will end up destroying institutions.

The former INEC boss said this at the 58th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Abuja on Monday, The Punch reports.

He said:

“What we require most are the competence and capacity of leaders to take decisions and be assertive in ensuring that those decisions are actually implemented. So, we have to be very careful in thinking that a strong leader can really help.

“Just like a weak leader can wreck an institution, a strong leader, who has just that power and courage, but lacks the capacity, ability and competence to lead, can also wreck strong institutions.

“Competence of leadership is a very important variable in bringing about the stable political transition, good governance and deepening of democracy.”

The former INEC boss, who superintended the 2011 and 2015 general elections, said politicians must stop treating elections as a do-or-die affair.

He recalled that a former President once said elections must be do-or-die, an incident he described as most unfortunate.

Jega also said there was a need for agencies of government to shun partisanship as this weakened institutions and eroded public confidence.

He added:

“We must emphasise professionalism, impartiality and non-partisanship. This is because quite too often, you have good and strong institutions, but once partisanship is introduced and partiality become the norm, as many public institutions in this country, then those institutions would not be able to deliver effectively on their mandates.”

The former INEC chairman said there was a need for law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to be alive to their responsibilities, adding that the integrity of the electoral process must be preserved and protected.

Jega added:

“From my experience, I am convinced that electoral integrity is key to stable political transition and to ensuring that there is a framework for good governance and societal development. Electoral integrity is not just about the integrity of the election management body. It is also the integrity with which the key stakeholders engage with the electoral process.”

In his remarks, a former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, lamented that elections in Africa are always characterised by violence.

He said even the recently concluded NBA election was not without its own controversies.

“The genesis of Africa’s political problems is the action of sit-tight leaders who do all they can to amend the constitutions in order to perpetuate themselves forever. These leaders manipulate very vital democratic organs particularly the legislature and even judiciary to suppress any dissenting voice,” he added.

So Jega is indirectly saying PMB who allows elections to be rigged through intimidations and bullying is competent. I would not forget recent LG elections here in Lagos where voters were driven away from voting forbthe candidates of their choice while others were wipped with cains. President who purposely because herdmen are his kins, refused to condemn their evil acts. President who surrounded himself with people of a particular religion and of some regions of the nation, such person cannot be tagged as being competent on an honest basis.
