Attahiru Jega, has said he will not accept a tenure renewal even if he
is offered.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, the INEC Chairman, says he will be
leaving office in June this year when his tenure as Chairman of the
electoral body ends.
"I am grateful to God. I was asked to come and contribute my own quota
to the national development and I have done my bit to the best of my
ability. Whatever assignment one will do for five years, just like
this difficult one to me, if one is able to successfully accomplish
the task, someone else should be given the opportunity. Because for me
I am not interested & if I am requested to serve again, I will not do
it, by God's grace" he said.
Prof. Jega came into office in 2010 and has conducted two elections so
far, which have the been judged the fairest in Nigeria.
