Chairman of
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega,
said he would not serve another term, in the same
capacity, even if his tenure was renewed.
Jega who
spoke in Abuja last night, said another person should be given the
opportunity to serve after his (Jega)
tenure ends in June.
“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 and if I am requested to
serve again, I will not do it, by God’s grace,” Jega said.
Jega, who
anchored the March 28 presidential election, admitted that the INEC task
was a difficult one, adding that
he was not interested in tenure renewal and would not accept an offer of
extension.
