Jonathan Wants 2015 Elections Postponed for 6 Months, Plans to Sack Jega from INEC There is fire on the mountain, it look

There is fire on the mountain, it looks like
Muhammadu Buhari of the APC is now
obviously more popular than President Goodluck
Jonathan of PDP, hence there are underground
moves to do everything possible to postpone
the election since the Certificate story against
Buhari has failed.
Plans by Jonathan and his team to scuttle the
general elections scheduled for February have
come to light, with National Security Adviser,
NSA, Sambo Dasuki, openly calling for
postponement of the elections.
Sambo spoke at a Chattam House lecture in
London, offering the excuse that the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has not distributed Permanent Voters
Cards across the country as was expected.
SR had reported several months ago that
President Goodluck Jonathan was reluctant to
hold national elections because his popularity
had dwindled considerably and he feared losing
the election.
In the last few days, as Buhari's popularity for
the presidency has grown, Jonathan has spent
vast sums of money mobilizing people to call
for the postponement of the elections.
INEC spokesperson, Kayode Idowu told Sahara
Reporters on Thusday that INEC was not aware
of Col. Dasuki’s suggestion, and that the
elections must hold as scheduled.
Several sources connected to the presidency
told SaharaReporters that President Jonathan
wants the elections to be postponed for at least
six months, a period that will enable him to
appoint a new INEC chairman of his liking to
oversee the elections. Professor Attahiru Jega’s
tenure expires in July 2015.
With Jega out of the way, Jonathan would
appoint another INEC chairman who would
further the postponement of the election.
Sahara Reporters sources stated that President
Jonathan is seriously considering an “Interim
Government of National Unity” that would
elongate his tenure till 2017. That would mean
he spends eight years in power as President,
the equivalent of two terms.
In 2011 as he assumed office, his first effort
was to call for a new six-year term
arrangement, which was shot down by
Nigerians.
