The
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega has denied reports that he is
under pressure to resign.
Jega made
the clarification on Monday, March 16, during a town hall meeting in Abuja.
The INEC
Chairman also stated that calls for his resignation would not hinder the
conduct of free and fair elections.
“I have heard of the several calls for me to be removed. In fact,
am aware that some groups have been protesting,” Jega said.
“Well, I have a job to do and I will do it. Nobody has asked me to
resign and all of us at INEC are focused on ensuring that this election is free
and fair,” he added.
Rampant
reports have it that Jega would be forced to proceed on terminal leave to make
way for another Chairman who would be chosen by the Presidency.
President Goodluck Jonathan has
however denied the reports saying that there's no plan to remove Jega.

Yes yes yes and yes Jega once a national hero, but now an ethnocentric who cannot be trusted to hold impartial election because of his numerous deals and meetings with his Fulani's clown as how to return power not to the north but to the Fulani's. For Nigeria to remain one Jega must go.
