\n

The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has opposed calls in certain quarters for the sack or resignation of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, following the failure of last Saturday\u2019s National Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

It said Jega\u2019s sack or resignation at this time would have a more negative effect on the electoral process and put democracy in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said while it was shocked at the poor preparations by INEC for the 2011 general elections, as reflected in Saturday\u2019s setback, it believed that the one-week postponement should give the commission enough time to rectify the problems identified during the ill-fated polls and still give Nigerians free, fair and credible elections.<\/p>\n

The party, however, challenged Prof. Jega to rise up to the occasion and work hard to meet the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians for a successful election.<\/p>\n

ACN urged Jega to keep Nigerians abreast of the efforts being made by INEC to prevent a recurrence of Saturday\u2019s electoral fiasco.<\/p>\n
