Nigeria Elections 2015: INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega To Give Up Position Amid Allegations Of Bias By PDP




Attahiru Jega, the chairman of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said Thursday he will give up the postition when his current term expires in June after five years at the helm, the Daily Post in Nigeria reported. Jega and other election officials were recently accused of bias and malpractice in association with the country’s general elections last weekend, when opposition challenger Muhammadu Buhari beat incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and the long-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost its majority in the nation’s legislature.

“I am grateful to God. I was asked to come and contribute my own quota to the national development, and I have done my bit to the best of my ability,” Jega said in an interview with the BBC’s Hausa service, according to the Daily Post. “Whatever assignment one will do for five years -- just like this difficult one, to me if one is able to successfully accomplish the task, someone else should be given the opportunity, because for me I am not interested and if I am requested to serve again, I will not do it, by God’s grace.”

Jega, who was appointed by Jonathan to replace Maurice Iwu in 2010, said he was not concerned about the allegations of bias against him by the PDP because he knew they were untrue. “I maintained my calmness because I knew all the allegations were false,” he said. “There is nothing that frightens me or disturbs me because, of all our actions, we have explanations for them.”

Peter Godsday Orubebe, a PDP official, interrupted a vote-counting meeting at the International Conference Center in Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja Tuesday to object to the incoming results of the bitterly contested presidential election. Orubebe, a former minister of Niger Delta affairs, seized the microphone at the podium and accused Jega and the INEC of bias. Orubebe said he would not allow the tallying of results to continue until Jega returned to his office and addressed the complaints raised by the PDP, the Daily Post reported at the time.

“We have raised issues about results in Kano, in Kaduna, Jigawa and Katsina, and yet you have done nothing about it. You are biased. You are partial. You are tribalistic,” Orubebe told Jega. “We don’t believe in you anymore. You are compromised. And we won’t take it from you.”

The heated exchange lasted for 30 minutes until Orubebe was led away from the podium. Jega immediately dismissed the allegations and resumed announcing the election results from various states. “I reject the so-called petition because it was brought to me while I was at the hall presenting results,” he said Tuesday, according to Turkey’s Anadolu news agency. “It is improper for any party agent to do so. For that reason, I do not take it, because other party agents and the media could be watching.”

Haha, lord. In January Chad claimed to have retaken the town, now all of a sudden they are fighting there again?
And you see how the article failed to mention that it was Chadian military that made that false claim, and its not the first , they claimed to have retaken Damasak town too, only for Nigerian soldiers to go in there the following week to actually retake it.
Hmmm

N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Soldiers from Chad and Niger on Tuesday drove Boko Haram Islamist militants from a border town that was one of the insurgency's last footholds in northeastern Nigeria, Chad's government and army spokesmen said.

A joint offensive by Nigeria and its neighbours has succeeded in driving the militants from most of the positions they held earlier this year, an advance that forced Nigeria to delay a February election.

The town of Malam Fatori, which was seized by Boko Haram in November, had previously been the scene of fighting between coalition forces and the militants, and military sources falsely claimed to have retaken it in January.

Chad's Communications Minister Hassan Sylla Bakari said this time there was no doubt who controlled the town.

"We took Malam Fatori this evening. It's an important victory in the fight against Boko Haram," he told Reuters.

Niger military sources just across the border said air strikes began before an offensive by ground troops. They said the nearby village of Abadam was also liberated during the day and several Boko Haram fighters were killed in clashes there.

"The armies of Chad and Niger control Malam Fatori, the last bastion of Boko Haram in the northeast of Nigeria," Chadian military spokesman Colonel Azen Bermandoa said.

He declined to give casualty figures but said the town had fallen after intense combat.

A Chadian army officer contacted in Malam Fatori said it had been reduced to ruins.

"We took back a town that's completely burned down. Before fleeing, Boko Haram set the houses and shops on fire," he told Reuters, asking not to be named.

Nigerian and regional forces have pushed Boko Haram, which has killed thousands in its push to carve out a caliphate in northeastern Nigeria, from all but three of the 20 local government areas it occupied at the beginning of the year.

Niger said on Tuesday said more than 100 Boko Haram fighters had been killed in clashes in the last three days. Three of Niger's soldiers had been wounded, it said.

Despite a handful of isolated attacks, Boko Haram largely failed to deliver on threats to disrupt the polls in the north when the election was eventually held on Saturday.

Former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari became the first Nigerian to oust a president through the ballot box. Results announced on Tuesday showed he had defeated Goodluck Jonathan.
