President Goodluck Jonathan on
Wednesday swore in Prof. Akinola
Murtala Salau as a new Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC)
commissioner, charging him to
demonstrate to Nigerians the quality
he is made of.
The president charged INEC to do
everything to ensure that all
Nigerians have their voters’ carda.
He equally called on the commission
to be neutrral in their work at
ensuring a credible election.
The event was held at the
Presidential Villa.
Jonathan said Salau deserved to be
congratulated, because he is
somebody who should have
resumed office long ago but for
some issues that made government
to step it down.
“These are the kind of people we
want to put in INEC – people with
impeccable character.So, Prof., we
want to charge you to go and
demonstrate clearly that you are
somebody with an impeccable
character and that you will do good
to all Nigerians irrespective of
anything.
“INEC is supposed to be absolutely
neutral is their work to conduct
credible election because the whole
world is watching at INEC and you
are coming into INEC at a very
critical time with 40 days to election.
So you are coming at a critical time
that I believe the chairman who is
here himself also need your
services.
“I believe Prof Jega will even want
to double the number of staff if he
has the resources to make sure that
they can cope. Because Nigerians
are getting worried weather INEC
can actually conduct elections.
“Talking about the PVC, even some
governors are complaining that they
are yet to get their PVC. If governors
are yet to get their voters cards of
course that means that so many
Nigerians are yet to get and people
are a bit worried.
