The lingering controversies surrounding plot to remove the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Attahiru Jega may have finally be put to rest as the
presidency has reportedly gotten a replacement for the embattled INEC chairman.
A reliable source within the presidency who did not want to be named on Tuesday disclosed that the presidency is planning on removing the INEC chairman this week. The information is coming despite assurances from President Goodluck Jonathan during February 11 presidential media chat that he had no intention of removing Jega from office. The source further revealed that after a long search, the INEC National Commissioner, Amina Bala Zakari, has finally been chosen to replace Prof. Jega.
