JEGA: What President Jonathan Asks Me To Do About Election Result by Nobody: 11:04am On Apr 05, 2015 |
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has exonerated President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from the various rumours making the rounds that the president had put pressure on him to act in his favour during the elections Jega who is leaving office June this year made this known yesterday in the morning programme of Hausa service of Voice of America,VOA, while being interviewed on whether or not he was ever lobbied by the president to act in his favour. He emphasized that ‘all the allegations that Jonathan had put so much pressure on me was not true’, adding that such attempt to compromise him had never taken place anywhere. Instead, the INEC boss clarified that since he became the chairman of the commission, all the money he requested from the president were given to him completely. Recall that there were pre-election accusations of plot by Jega to rig the elections.Whlie series of groups and some opposition parties raised allegations of plots by the outgoing President, Goodluck Jonathan to compromise the INEC boss, the ruling party, PDP, also accused him of planning to rig the elections in favour of the All Progressives Congress, APC. However, the INEC had dismissed the allegations that were widely published in some national dailies, not Peoples Daily. A front page advertorial by a group described by Jega as faceless in some National Newspapers alleged a plot by the Chairman of the Commission to rig the 2015 general elections. The group cited the constitution of a presidential election result collation committee by the INEC Chairman as the basis for its allegation that a plot to rig the election has been hatched. Although INEC, described the allegations as total falsehood and baseless, there were growing concerns surrounding them. The Commission affirmed that the allegation to manipulate or rig the election is completely false and baseless. INEC said that the Chairman of the Commission as the Chief Electoral Commissioner of Nigeria and the Returning Officer of the presidential election, has statutory and legal powers to constitute administrative committee(s) to facilitate the performance of his duties. The constitution of an in-house committee to assist in the collation process after the presidential election is purely an administrative arrangement to assist the Chairman. Members of the committee are officials of the Commission. They work as professionals and non-partisan technocrats and have sworn to the oath of neutrality in the execution of their official duties. They are drawn from the Operations, ICT and Legal departments of the Commission as well as the Office of the Chairman. This arrangement is not new and was the same as during the 2011 general elections. However, the INEC boss has finally laid the matter to rest days after he announced the results of the presidential election, affirming that there were no attempt to compromise him on the elections. http://www.newspunch.org/jega-what-president-jonathan-asks-me-to-do-about-poll-result/ 1 Like |

It was normal in our society for the leading parties to suspect one another. So, both APC and PDP continuously raised allegations of plots to compromise Jega without substantiated evidence to back their claim. Jega has really done well and is now one of my role models. |

He emphasized that ‘all the allegations that JonathanShame to APC and their supporters. They heaped lies against President Jonathan just to paint him black and make him appear desperate. Today, Jega has come out to say the truth. Jonathan has shown and proved that his ambition is not a desperate one but a patriotic one. The World has seen him for who he is and he has written his name on a tablet of gold. In him Nigeria have her first Global Citizen and Icon of democracy Worldwide. He lost the Presidency but gained much more. Up GEJ!!!! 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Ezedon: Never again. GEJ is not good as a leader because people around him will always take advantage of his seemingly meekness to commit atrocities while he is unable to bring them to justice. He may be lovable as a person and desirable as a friend though. 3 Likes |

I don't believe this poo. The man was criticised even by JEG himself in the amapour interview. He was just trying not to be emotional with all that happened |

barcanista:Enough of your childish antics here bro...Stop firing shots where targets don't exist, your overzealousness to play the opposition game doesn't make any sense as of now... Give it time, the Buhari government will make mistakes naturally then you can pounce just as was the case with GEJ where his actions and inactions in most cases helped mobilized the opposition against him/his government, for now, it sounds like you can't stomach a loss (sore loser anybody?) 2 Likes |

It seems some people have forgotten the core message that Orubabble used to attack Jega on behalf of the PDP. "You're biased, you're partisan, you've been compromised, you're tribalistic. We are no longer confident in you" |
