After holding two general elections widely considered as the best in Nigeria's history, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, has declared that he is not interested in another term when his current tenure expires in June.
Jega was appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010 to replace Prof Maurice Iwu.
Speaking in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Hausa) Thursday night, Jega said having played his role in the political space for five years, it was time another person to contribute his or her own quota. I hope he continues to make significant contribution to our democracy in whatever capacity he can because he is part of the few who have contributed immediately to our growth as a democratic country.
