A group led by
elder statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin
Clark under the aegis of Southern Nigeria Peoples Assembly has called for the
resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,
Prof. Attahiru Jega.
The group made the
demand at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday.
Among those at the
briefing were a former Minister of Information, Walter Ofonagoro; a former Governor
of Anambra State, Dr. Chuwuemeka Ezeife; a former Commissioner in Bayelsa
State, Chief Whisky Ayakeme; Dr. Cairo Ojugboh and Sen. Femi Okunronmu.
Members of the
group, who are staunch supporters of President Jonathan, also demanded the
postponement of the February elections threatening that elections won’t hold in
southern part of the country if the commission should decide to go ahead with
the scheduled elections.
They accused Jega
of conniving with northern leaders to rig Jonathan out of office.
