Jega: Politicians Are Nigeria’s Greatest Threat by zakim(m): 5:26am On Feb 24, 2018 |
A former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega has said that politicians are the greatest threat to Nigeria’s democracy and its corporate existence hence citizens must find ways to control their excesses and recklessness. He spoke yesterday in Abuja at the maiden edition of ‘Watching The Vote: Election Series’ organised by the Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement (YIAGA) Africa, themed “Is Nigeria’s Democracy Under Threat?” He said the biggest threat is the recklessness of politicians to undermine Nigeria’s democracy thereby disrupting the process of development. The Director-General, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Dr Garba Abari who said Nigeria’s democracy was under threat with the signs and indicators all over, noted the need for the government to partner with CSOs to educate Nigerians on elections especially to curb invalid votes. The Executive Director of YIAGA Africa, Samson Itodo, said the series was to create a platform for engagement on the 2019 elections and provide opportunity for key election stakeholders to engage on pathways to ensuring peaceful and credible elections. The Director, Centre for Democracy and Development, Idayat Hassan, urged Nigerians to be involved in the electoral process and think of national unity and development above sectional considerations. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/jega-politicians-are-nigeria-s-greatest-threat.html 4 Likes 1 Share

This fool should shut up. He, not politicians, hoisted the greatest of all problems on Nigeria, in Buhari. Jega deceived Nigerians with selective honesty. Now, last time he spewed thrash by saying NASS election reordering undermines INEC independence, but the independence of INEC wasn't undermined in 2010 when the electoral act was amended. This fool forgot that it is in the power of the NASS to determine to what extent INEC should be independent. Every law in Nigeria is changeable, even the constitution. We don't have dogmas, we have laws. And laws change to appraise with current realities. This is me telling Jega to forever remain silent and wait for when he will answer for his atrocities. It's AWOL 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Nope.. The problem is you and your under aged voters. History will never forgive you for using under aged almajiris to foister a failure on Nigeria. You are incompetent sir since you handed over a compromised voters register.. Actually.. what you did will hunt Nigeria for years to come. How you appeared now that it seems the tide is against Buhari speaks volume. You served as INEC chairman when a southerner was President.. when are you going to advise Buhari to appoint a southerner as INEC Chairman? Bloody hypocrite.. 2 Likes 1 Share |
