Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) Professor Mahmood Yakubu has said the Commission under his leadership was determined to surpass the records of his predecessor in office, Professor Atahiru Jega.
The latter was the INEC chairman who managed the 2015 general elections.
Speaking while playing host to the German Ambassador in Nigeria, Bernhard Schlagheck and German Secretary of State, Walter Lindner at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja, Professor Yakubu said INEC would improve on its feat which ensured that power was transferred from the ruling to an opposition party to inspire confidence of the international community in the electoral process in Nigeria.
He said: “We are aware that in 2015 Nigeria conducted election that is acknowledged and praised around the world.
We have been beneficiaries of that elections. Each time we travel on election observation around the world, people turn to us not only to praise the achievement of Nigeria in 2015 but to learn from the experience of Nigeria.

“It is exactly 36 days today from the 2019 elections. Already, the long term observation mission from the European Union is in Nigeria for the election which is the further affirmation of the interest of the international community in our elections but we are still willing to benefit in preparing for this election in our relationship with the international community.”
Earlier in his remarks, Germany Secretary of State, Lindner recalled that the Commission conducted an election which he noted has been an enviable reference point within the African Continent and the entire world.
He further noted that the feat achieved by the Commission under Professor Jega would be used to measure the Commission under its present leadership.
Lindner declared that Nigeria being the economic powerhouse of Africa with over 200 million people, Germany and the rest of the world were interested in the political stability of the country, submitting that whatever happens in Nigeria would have an effect not only on the continent but the entire world.
Story…
In rigging Election right?
Does Jegga have any record?
Nigerians will always remember Jegga as the man who colluded with the Northern leaders to rape our Democracy in 2015.
So what record is he talking about?
Why u not beat jega in Ekiti and Osun Election u have rigged….?…..indiscipline man…
The record of jega is rigging

Jega has criminal records. Your words mean we are in for the worst.
How true is this statement? Have u forgotten Osun, Ekiti and Edo. Unless u have repented
May Allah be praised for curing me through herbal medicine.Am now hepatitis b negative please if you are infected call or whatsapp the doctor with +2347053927686
INEC tried their best in Osun election. it was the security agents that riged that election.
Remove Buhari’s niece if you’re determined.
So help you God ,but for the traces on ground ,no sign yet
Is that so. Rigging is sure
EXACTLY. RECORDS BY RIG..
Then i don’t have target
Not possible because you were perfidious in all the elections conducted by you and there was nothing like inconclusive during jega’s era
But remember; Mr Jega is not trying to rig that election of 2015 but you are using all means to rig the forthcoming election for wrong person, to still put Nigerians under boundage again. Professor Jega is a forthright man not unfaithful like you. He did not used the kinship of real Buhari to count the national elections, because he knows is not right. Where is a step you are claiming to beat up his standard? I pray for you your evil plans to rig the election ll not ends you in jail.
HAHAHA! 2019 will be the worst election in Nigeria history in terms of rigging
The only way to do that is to announce PDP or other candidates winner over apc
That’s the record his talking about
Yes, You will beat Jega with inconclusive record
Does Jega has record?
To be fair you are trying, but three things would permanently damage your reputation: incident form, Amina and state forces..police and the military..if nothing was done about them
you’ve beaten it already
king of inconclusive
Fredrick Preye Alright
Do you mean in election manipulation ?
We are in trouble…..with what we witnessed in Ekiti and OSUN, there is no record sir.
By appointing Amina in charge of presidential election collation
Good talk,clap him.
Even if APC win?
My God bless this Dr for who save me from hepatitis b virus with is herbal medicine I thank God almighty that am free from the virus he also have cure for HIV I thank God for the good work that he is doing you can call him or Whatsapp him for more +2349020549018
you can’t because Buhari and his cohorts will not allow you.
Don’t even go there because Jega committed a lot of atrocities and didn’t set any standard. Stop rhetoric and do the needful, which’s removal of Amina Zakari. 2) All results of individual polling unit must be announced there and then after counting before all party representatives. Of course, Buhari must sign the amended electoral act into law for their to be credibility. Police must be cautioned to limit its activities to the extant laws provisions. Without these, 2019 elections would be chaotic.
Horenishiley Maryorwah Sundey don’t u see win over apc
fat lie. all elections conducted under you so far ended up inconclusive. you are chairman dependent electoral fraud international.
Jega has record that is yet to be equalled. He is the only electoral umpire that conducted 2 presidential elections till date. No one is yet to attain that feat. If in doubt, Google it.
The only way you can beat jega record is when you rig Buhari back to Aso rock. But believe me it won’t be easy. Because your time Nigeria will break and it will be on record that it was in your time Nigeria break away.
For where? Mole/ houseboy.
Fraudulent compromised record.
Talk is cheap. Osun is a soured grape .
No one has equalled Jega’s record. Jega is the only electoral umpire that conducted 2 presidential elections till date. If in doubt, Google it.
don’t forget the world is watching and listening to u
Comradé Chinedu Sylvester I’m afraid O.
The pressure is on ur court so play the game let us see
Story 4 gods, wit Buhari’s relatn Amina Zakari abi?

Funny
Amen by allowing the opposition to win more states .Please all Atikulated should join me to say Amen!
In rigging
While you do not have independent mind of your own. You’re controlled
Amen!
I hop so all we needs from u is to do the right thing ok
I am not agree with you, because during the tenure of Jega there is no INCONCLUSIVE ELECTION.
When already there is rigging signals all over the place, or do you mean rigging record?
My brother, na the record wey him dey talk about be that na! U been think say na better record him dey talk before ?
With Amina Zakari?
I hop so all we needs from u is to do the right thing ok
But INEC goofed and erred by declaring Osun election inconclusive!
Please clarify yourself for us to understand, your record in Ekiti and Osun is too glaring
You mean the abracadabra he did?
Leave the Biafra boy .
Lol,,,, all is well,,,,, may God give us a gud leader

With the way you are going?
You are determined to rig more than Jega

With inconclusive style abi
Fagbemi Olusegun Olujide God bless you. Was it security agents that stopped INEC from returning winner with narrow margin as they did in kogi bye election ?
By declaring inconclusive elections and rigging baa.
Yes in bringing out outrageous figures that does not exist from the North, which is a desert
May God lead you through
We do not have a truly independent electoral body. INEC as constituted today is perceived as being biased and a rubber stamp of the power that be.
What is this one saying Edo osun ekiti you are the reverse version of jega
Story for the gods
Jega didn’t give Amina Zakari sensitive role to play
Hmm
Haaaaaaaaaaa, yinmu
If inec rigged in favour of buhari and apc, they will set nigeria on fire bcos he is not going for campaigns, he hide himself in villa and wants to win election
Did you listen to WIKE ON CHANNELS YESTERDAY ?
We quite understand that you are well prepared to beat Jega’s record in rigging but the masses will stop u
We see dat in Ekiti n osun
Records of rigging, abi?
Why don’t you lay down an example in Ekiti and Osun election
You can’t cos the whole world know you are working for buhari stop that okay and don’t ever say this again okay
That’s the beginning of failure. Are you in competition with anybody or you want to do your work to best of your ability ? If you have Jega as somebody to compete with, you are already a failure. The standard Jega set is very, very high.
Inshaa Allah
Lies
You for where ? If wishes were horses beggars will ride ….with this way you started both ur actions and inactions shows you can’t deliver …. That your wish is dead on arrival with ill fate and bias based sentiment
You can’t Mr chairman
The idiot has actually surpassed jega record with what happened in Ekiti, Osun with all other NA elections but he will be destroyed
Jega ko jagajaga ni!
BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS..
Good to hear this
Elections done suffer for naija bi that
When it comes for rigging of course
Jega’s records of ringing haba it won’t work this time around o.
Story for the god’s
Brothers, are we to blame inec? they are not independent at all. that’s why the returning officer received a phone call.
With ur rigging plan
You’re determined to rig massively with Oshomhole seriously going to give you a helping hand
In rigging
TO BEAT JEGA WITH RIGGING ELECTION
Amen
Only if PDP and Atiku/Obi win. Ok?
Then you should start by reversing Amina Zakari’s appointment because there is a conflict of interest there.
Dickson Raymond, by your comment, you have as well as conceded defeat by APC.
Like you did in Osun!
Prof. I doubt it. Jega is a man of strong integrity.
So you’re determined to beat Jega’s record of unseating the incumbent president?
Jegga has no record at all
Which record?
lol this is super story?
Jega has no record, don’t be deceived.
Mtcheeww which rigging record you want beat? Haaa?
O boy you said it all.
Hmmm, just do your best because he(Jega) has already set a precedence.
To rig for opposition abii
You are not working like Jegga
Rigging tactics as usual
Is not possible Sir because you have messed up with a little specimen given to you through Ekiti and Osun election.. Therefore, u can’t beat him, stop fooling yourself not us
Ok dis time 50m children will be allowed to vote and they will all vote for one candidate publicly without gear of been arrested
Only if you consider Nigerians plight and not dance to the tone of Buhari & his cabals
On the 2015 elections, igbos and the south south keep blaming and accusing jega of colluding with other forces to rig Jonathan out of office. I’m not a Buhari supporter, but the fact is that even if Jesus Christ was the inec chairman then, Buhari would still had won the election. The south south and southeast should have themselves to be blame for the loss. The percentage of those who cast their votes was less than 40% of the registered voters and you now faulted jega. When it comes to election, the south has always exhibited high level of apathy as against the enthusiasm of their northern counterparts. Much as I would not wish Buhari to be re elected but the reality is that he’s going to win it again. He has the large number of voters in the North that will still vote for him. Especially kano and Kaduna states. Those are the states with the highest number of registered voters in the country alongside Lagos. So it’s still going to be Buhari
Hahahaha! We all know that but you will fail woefully, 2015 has gone, This is 2019! That game of Jega won’t work out for you.
Big lie
He put us on the world map for good and I pray you achieve this aim.
Jega has a terrible record so long as I am concerned, and you want to beat that record? In 2015 presidential election, almost all the states in North West especially Kastina, Kano and Zamfara never recorded any void votes despite the high level of illiteracy in that region. 2015 election was never a free and fair election and it should never be used as a yardstick for the upcoming elections by next month.
By returning power back to pdp
Not with rigging ko
We do hope and pray
Chukwuma Andrew when will you stop reading news headlines, try to read the full details of the news be4 u comment pls….
