National co-ordinator of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) Otunba Gani Adams, has called for the immediate sack of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Attahiru Jega.
According to Premium Times, Adams a supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan, disclosed this while speaking at his organisation’s Eledumare Festival in Lagos on Sunday, March 8.
Among the reasons for his call, Adams said Jega has failed to explain how INEC was able to successfully distribute 90 per cent of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in North East despite the insurgency in the region.

“I Otunba Gani Adams is using this forum to call for immediate sack, removal or retirement of Professor Attahiru Jega, the chairman of INEC on the basis of PVC distribution, introduction of card reader and creation of 30000 bogus and fraudulent polling units in the northern part of Nigeria against the southern part,” he said.
Adams also voiced his opposition to the use of card readers for the general elections, saying, “We have not heard how card readers contributed or added value to any major election in the world.
“To me, it’s an attempt cleverly being injected by Jega to cause delay, confuse voters and prevent majority of voters in exercising their franchise on that day”.
