Presidency finally speaks on Jega’s rumoured ‘terminal leave’

The Presidency has reacted to widespread rumours that the Chairman of
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Professor Attahiru
Jega, had been sacked by the Federal Government.
A presidency official told Vanguard on Tuesday, February 10, that
“the rumoured sack of Jega is not from the Presidency, but part of the
propaganda by the opposition to soil the good name of the President, to
discredit the government and cause trouble.”
The official said there were no plans in place or in motion to remove
the INEC chairman from office, stressing that the current
administration is a law-abiding government that “follows the
Constitution in the discharge of its duties, including the Chairman of
INEC or any member for that matter.”
“The laws are clear about the question of leaving or not leaving and
government has nothing to do with that. The man has a job to do and
please allow him to do the job without dragging government into it and
the man working under the rule of law.”
“This is the government that has been obeying the rule of law and is
not going to abandon its adherence to it. Please, they should allow
Professor Jega to do his work and stop heating up the polity.”
