The on-going rumours regarding the removal of Prof Attahiru Jega will not cease soon, as a national daily has now learnt that the Federal Government have shortlisted 4 possible candidates to replace the INEC boss.
One of the national dailies ThePunch learnt from inside sources that Jega might be asked to hand over to one of the commissioners in INEC and also proceeds on a three-month terminal leave.
On February 11 during the presidential media chat, President Goodluck Jonathan gave Nigerians the assurance that he had no plan to remove the INEC chairman from office. The president’s guarantee came at a time when rumor was rife that government had perfected plans to remove Jega.
But some stakeholders who spoke after the interview had dismissed the President’s reassurances as not holding water, adding that the laws of the land do not confer on the president powers to remove the INEC chairman.
On Friday, the Supervising Minister of Information, Mr. Edem Duke, had also gave the assurance that the President had no plan to sack Jega.
“On the issue of the INEC chairman, I align myself with what the President said that he has no plan to sack the INEC chairman.
“That is not to say that if it is time for the INEC chairman to naturally exit his office, then the natural course of things will not take place.
“It is like saying a civil servant has done 35 years or achieved the age of 60; we now begin to say that he must not retire or he must retire,” Duke had said.
Earlier, there had been reports that Prof. Femi Mimiko, brother of the Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, had been pencilled in for the position. But investigations by The Punch confirmed that the former Vice Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State was no longer in contention.
Sources said the national commissioners that might take over from Jega could come from a list made up of Dr. Mohammed Wali from Sokoto State, Mrs. Amina Zakari from Jigawa State, Colonel Mohammed Kurmi Hammanga (rtd.) from Adamawa State and Dr. Ishmael Igbani from Rivers State.
It was learnt that the person that would take over would act as chairman till June 30 when the tenure of Jega would expire.
The Federal Government, it was learnt, had decided against appointing an ‘outsider’ because preparations for the elections had reached an advanced stage.
Investigations further showed that the FG had yet to decide on whether to appoint the acting chairman from the North-West, where Jega hails from or to take the post to another zone...Continue Reading[/http://www.9jagistonline.com/jegas-likely-successor-revealed/]
