He was reacting to Jega’s comment that Nigerians should not expect perfect elections in 2015.
Speaking with reporters yesterday after the All Progressives Congress’s (APC’s) membership registration sensitisation meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Lagos, Tinubu said: “With such comment, Jega is already admitting failure and laying the foundation for failure. If he cannot do the job, let him quit. What do we pay him for? A perfect election makes a perfect society. We must strive to give the people what they want.
“There have to be perfect elections in 2015. They have to be 99.9 per cent perfect. If he wants to lecture again about perfect and the imperfection of the electoral process, let him go back to the university.”
Lamenting that the country should have learnt enough from past polls, the APC National Leader said: “Jega is presently moving from one country to the other. Is he saying he has not learnt enough from this country to give us a perfect election? He is in America now, gallivanting around the countries. Is it the estacode of his speeches that is enough for us? If he has not learnt from these countries in the last few years, then we can excuse him.”
On the series of defection of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the National Assembly to the APC, Tinubu said the lawmakers have the right to “choose their alliance as it suits the mandate given to them by the people”.

You too are a product and masterminder of rigging Alhaji Tinubu, and Jega will not resign either.
ReplyDeleteIf jega resign, i recomend maurice iwu to replace him.
ReplyDeleteYes oh!! He should submit his resignation letter now if he can't assure Nigerians of credible elections against the one witnessed in Anambra election .
ReplyDeleteThen why is he(Jega) admitting failure, he's alrdy showing weakness before the battle, words are powerful, whatever u believe will come to pass so I support Tinubu in this case, if Jega is not sure of himself he should resign infact he will get a lot of credit for that than running an election smeared with malpractices.

Yes, so that he Tinubu and his co-travellers can install 'Salami' to rig election for them in 2015. The game is over!
ReplyDeleteWho is Salami? Nobody cares! What Nigerians wants is whoever is there as INEC boss must work cz tax payers money is involved here! U can't just be earning salary, traveling all over and be say 2015 election might not be perfect!! What are his reasons or problems he should find solutions to them and if he can't, he can come out open to let Nigerians know what's up, why he's handicapped.
