reports that Prof Attahiru Jega stepped into the hall to address the world press
by 10: 45 pm. He read his paper over 1 hour before questions that lasted for
over 1 hour again with questions flying to Jega. The brief ended 11:45 pm
Jega promptly said when his tenure of office would end, ‘’My
tenure would end God’s willing June 30th, 2015 ...’’
Elections have been
postponed for 6 weeks March 28th and April 11th and that
would be final shift to ensure 30 days grace period before hand over on 29th
May , 2015.
He said the shift was based on new security challenges in
the North East to give room for security people to ensure security is
guaranteed and PVC distributed more to reach others. 96 percent have been
distributed to the states but 56 percent were collected not fault of INEC.
And o the question on the call for his resignation because
he is bias, Prof Jega said he has never met any opposition candidate of anybody
to discuss how to rig the election in favour of anybody as he is in INEC to do
his best for the country.
Jega said, ‘’rather than meet opposition or anybody for the
purpose of winning election , I will rather resign. Jega said if there is any
reason for him to resign that he would do that without hesitation.
Unfortunately the media caries it and if not for the burden

will pay me damages.
‘’This extension now gives us an opportunity to reach out to
those who have not collected PVC and commended Nigerians and International
community for their show of understanding in deepening Nigeria’s democracy.
‘’Strong Advice of the security chief is that total military
operation is going on in the North East and would not finish before the
Saturday, so to ensure security of our staff and over 600,000 adhoc staff we
agreed with them .
‘’we hope and pray to God that there would be no other shift
, so that the election would hold on the 28th March and 4Th
April .....rather than do an inconclusive election we rather wait and do a
proper election that would end in one ballot .......sensitive materials are
secured in Airport by the Air force and in the CBN and would not be opened
until party agents are around and it would be certified by the party officials
.....
‘’I want to re-assure you that we would do our best and we
need your support to ensure
