Urhobo youth condemns Asari’s call for Jega’s sack

THE leadership of the Urhobo National
Youth Council, UNYC has described calls for sack of
the chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahirhu Jega by members
of the Asari Dokubo-led Niger Delta People's
Volunteer Force as unwarranted and undemocratic.
UNYC in a statement signed by its National President,
Comrade Monday Oyeghe Saturday, stated that INEC
is a public institution whose actions are covered by
the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
stressing that it is undemocratic to call for the sack of
its chairman.
The statement reads: "It is the height of fallacy to
describe Jega as being pretentious and hypocritical
owing to the number of yet to be collected
Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs in the Southern part
of the country compared to some Northern States.
"It is undemocratic to call for Jega's sack because the
institution he chairs is a public institution whose
actions are covered by the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and anything contrary to this is
simply evoking the dark memories of past military
dictatorships."
