Following the postponement of the general election, the plot
to sack the Chairman of the Independent Nation Electoral Commission, prof
Attahiru jega is on the increase side.
As we all know that Jega’s tenure will end on June 30, some
political party especially Peoples Democratic Party has planned to give him
terminal leave prior March 28 the scheduled time for general election.
According to punch newspaper on Monday, it is glaring that
the ‘sins’ include alleged transfer of some INEC officials considered to be
close to them out of their departments where their input might not be useful in
the conduct of the election and also, Jega is becoming dogged and
unapproachable.
A source that remains anonymous said ‘PDP is set to replace JEGA with the brother of current Ondo state
governor, prof. femi Mimiko. According to him, he said it is real that President
Jonathan is tired and not comfortable with the administration of Jega and is
ready to replace him before it is too late.
He said, ‘The way Jega spoke at the press briefing where he
announced the postponement of the polls was meant to implicate PDP and the
presidency. This is the reason why everybody including foreign allies has been
blaming the leadership of the election.’
A reliable military officer told the punch in Abuja that they
were surprised to hear Jega blame the poll postponement on the unpreparedness
of the military. He said the postponement should never be shifted on them
because they are always set to carry out their security assignment at any point in time.
