Professor Attahiru Jega says 'I have done my bit,' and would not be seeking a renewal of tenure as INEC chairman.
The head of the electoral body has, in a BBC Hausa interview, declined in advance any offer of tenure renewal. He simply would not accept it.
Jega 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."
He also confessed to the difficult tasks he oversaw during the just-concluded elections, saying: “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.”
