Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the All Progressives Congress and a former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, do not have the moral right to oppose any move to remove the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose argued that asking Jega to go on mandatory terminal leave was not the same as sacking him, “more so that his tenure would lapse in June and he is entitled to three months terminal leave.”
Fayose challenged the APC to tell Nigerians what has changed in Jega’s handling of elections since the party went on a street protest in Abuja on November 28, 2013 to call for the sack of the INEC chairman after the Anambra State governorship election.
The governor said, “Nigerians must ask APC leaders who led street protests against Jega, carrying placards with inscriptions such as: ‘INEC not fit to conduct 2015 election,’ ‘2015: No hope with Jega,’ what has changed about Jega.
“Has the same Jega that they said cannot conduct the 2015 elections ceased from being a bad person?
“The APC lost the Anambra election and took to the streets in Abuja, calling for Jega’s head. Is the INEC boss now doing their biddings because the APC will only stand against any individual or organisation that refused to be corrupted?”
