FG does not have any hidden plans to sack Jega

(1/1)

flukky01:
President Goodluck Jonathan has restated that he has no plan to sack Attahiru Jega, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ahead of the March 28 and April 11 elections.

Speaking in an interview with Aljazeera, President Jonathan denied he was nursing such a plan and said that INEC is a sensitive and important institution and that removing its chairman arbitrarily would spark public outcry.

There has been speculation that the Federal Government was plotting to remove the INEC chairman before the elections.

Jega’s tenure ends in June but there are claims the administration plans to send him on a three-month pre-disengagement leave before the election.
