Dark Days Of Military Coups Might Return If… -Tambuwal

The House of Representatives yesterday warned the federal Government against tampering with the existing “arrangements” for the March 28 general elections, particularly the removal of the chairman of the  Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Attahiru Jega.
The House noted that changing the election plans either by further extention of the dates or removing Jega would only lead to a magnitude of violence worse than what was experienced in the aftermath of the 2011 polls.
In a resolution in Abuja, the House drew the attention of the “political class”, the Federal government, state governments and security agencies to warnings of unavoidable violence already issued by eminent Nigerians and groups both on the international and local scenes.
The resolution was taken following a motion moved by the chairman, House Committee on Justice, Mr. Ali Ahmad.
But the motion scaled through despite facing opposition from the deputy House Leader, rep Leo Ogor, who said the motion was speculative and that nobody is under any illusion of seeing Jega removed at this time.
