The Chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has said he does not have
any plan to embark on terminal leave.
This was contrary to unsubstantiated report that Jega would proceed on a forced terminal leave on March 1. (Read it here)
But Jega’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Kayode Idowu, denied this saying his boss was busy preparing for the
conduct of the elections.
He said, “Jega is busy preparing for the
elections and you are asking about terminal leave. Does anyone planning
to conduct elections go on terminal leave? There is nothing like that.”
Idowu had in an interview on a TV
programme monitored in Lagos, on Tuesday, said Jega’s appointment was
not guided by civil service rules and would serve until the end of his
tenure on June 30.
He said the postponement of the elections would make INEC better prepared for the elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11.
