Civil Society Coalition in Plateau has commended INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega, for coming out publicly to apologize to Nigerians over the shift of the National Assembly polls.

Mr. Joseph Sangosanya, chairman of the coalition, told newsmen in Jos that Jega’s attitude had shown that the era of impunity is over in the country.

“Since Jega can come out to accept responsibility and publicly apologize to Nigerians, it shows that the era of impunity is gradually coming to an end in this country.What Jega has done takes some level of humility and this is just one of the proofs that our democracy is really working and we should all support the process,” he said.

He, however, said that the setback arising from the shift was a national disgrace and challenged the Federal Government and INEC to take full responsibility and redress the associated challenges.

Sangosanya said the coalition regrets the fact that the Nigerian Security and Minting Company is being funded with billions of tax payers’ money but could not print our currencies and ballot papers.
