 Jonathan, Jega decry political interference on INEC appointments


Former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega, have decried the influence of political interference on the appointments of electoral commissioners. 


Jonathan and Jega spoke on Tuesday at a conference organised by pro-democracy and advocacy group Yiaga Africa in Abuja. The event was tagged, ‘Reflection Conference on Democratic Elections in West Africa’.

On his part, Jega said, “There is political interference in the appointment or removal of electoral commissioners and other election officials.” He said citizens, civil society organisations and drivers of changer should continue to mobilise effectively for credible elections.
