"Jega is Anti-Democratic", PDP Alleges!

The Osun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed fears over the 2015 general elections, regarding what the party termed the "anti democratic stance of INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega".

The party said it was led to this conclusion because of several reasons; es

pecially the manner the INEC boss is handling the issue of Osun State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Ambassador Rufus Akeju, whose resumption back in the state has been generating controversies.

PDP, in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said it is suspecting Prof. Jega may deliberately bungle the 2015 poll, if the All Progressives Congress fails to win, saying as it appears, the INEC boss is acting script prepared by a cabal in the  APC.

The statement reads: "When a court of competent jurisdiction ruled that Akeju must not conduct the 2011 poll in the state, Jega still appealed the ruling.

Till today, there has not been a counter ruling, still Akeju, who was removed from Osun State after exposing all sensitive INEC data to the APC was later brought back, a day to the commencement of the inspection of materials used for fraudulent August 9 poll.
Jega should tell Nigerians the rationale behind posting Akeju back to Osun State. Is Akeju the only REC in INEC? Why bringing him back to Osun when there were insinuations that the acclaimed winner of the poll is desperate to cover up his tracks? Is Akeju now in-charge of the electoral commission that he could determine where to be posted?"

The PDP said it raised all the questions to prevent the cabal operating INEC through Jega from plunging the country into chaos during the general election, adding "we are being cheated by Jega today, only God knows who will be the victim tomorrow.

“We implore the president, national assembly and lovers of democracy across Nigeria to ask Jega why Akeju must be Osun REC when there over 30 other qualified commissioners in the service of the commission", the PDP concluded.
