Prof. Attahiru Jega has maintained that he would not be going on terminal leave before the forthcoming general elections.
Jega also insisted that the Commission was fully prepared for the February date, describing the allegation that INEC was not ready as mute.
He also insisted that the legal action of the Young Democratic Party would not in any way affect the elections, adding that the commission has directed its lawyers to challenge the High Court judgment which asked INEC to register the party.
Jega who spoke in Abuja at a town Hall meeting noted that he does not intend going on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure, stressing that with serious responsibility of conducting an election, proceeding on terminal leave was unthinkable.
He also assured that the outstanding 700,000 Permanent Voters Cards will be available latest by Saturday.
Jega assured that the Commission would not be happy to see any registered voter denied the right to vote as a result of failure of the commission to produce the PVCs.
He also insisted that there was no going back on the use of the PVCs in the March/ April general elections. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
