INEC Chair, Iwu ... gone for good!

[sparrow]

AN era – of controversy, intrigues and hard tackles – ended yesterday at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Chairman Maurice Iwu got the boot.

Acting President Goodluck Jonathan directed Prof. Iwu to proceed on a pre-terminal leave. His tenure ends on June 13.

Iwu, who fought a big battle for reappointment, is to hand over to the most senior National Commissioner, pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.

The directive is with immediate effect.

INEC chair Iwu ... gone
