I’ll not serve another term even if am asked to – Jega

The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, has declared that he would not serve another term as boss of the electoral body when his first tenure expires in June, even if he is asked.
Speaking in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Hausa) last night. Jega said having played his role in the political space for five years, it was time another person was given the chance to contribute his own quota.

He a said:

“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,”
