President Goodluck Jonathan has come out clean and cleared the air regarding the future of the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega by stating he won’t be sacked ahead of the March 28 and April 11 elections.

It will be recalled that the polity was awashed with the news that the federal government had concluded plans to send Jega on a terminal leave in preparation of his completion of his tenure by June.

The speculation followed allegations by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the anti-Jega posturing of the People’s Democratic Party as well as groups and individuals rooting for President Jonathan.

Last Thursday, senators of the APC, led by George Akume, said they had reliable Intelligence that Jega would be asked to proceed on pre-retirement leave this week through a letter that would originate from the office of the Head of Service of the Federation.

But speaking on Monday in an interview with Aljazeera, President Jonathan denied he was nursing such a plan.

The president said INEC is a sensitive and important institution and that removing its chairman arbitrarily would spark public outcry.

“Except somebody is insinuating that the Chairman has done something wrong. You cannot change an officer, except the person has done something wrong,” Jonathan said in response to a question on Jega.

He added that “Government, whether at the federal or state level, president or governor, does not wake up and change somebody, especially somebody like the INEC Chairman, except that person has done something wrong.

“INEC is a very sensitive body. For me to change INEC Chairman Nigerians will ask questions. So, you cannot wake up and change INEC Chairman.”

He added that he had never discussed with “any human being on earth about changing INEC Chairman”.

The President has said this time without number that he won't change the INEC chairman. The INEC chairman didn't hear anything about sack.

The problem is that APC members know how to hear and fabricate bad things that will make the country look bad and almost collapsing.

Its march 28 right?

Some of this APC men will be sleeping in the intensive care unit in LUTH, trust me!
