Shehu Sani, the Senator representing Kaduna Central has reacted to a statement by Prof. Attahiru Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), faulting the conduct of some university lecturers during the 2019 general election.
DAILY POST reports that Jega while speaking at the annual conference of the Fulbright Alumni Association of Nigeria at Bayero University Kano (BUK) alleged that politicians used university lecturers to commit irregularities during the elections, especially in Kano state.
He said the BUK lecturers who worked with politicians to perpetrate ‘all sorts of irregularities’ betrayed the confidence reposed on them by compromising the electoral process.
Reacting to Jega’s statement, Sani on his Twitter page, called on anti-corruption agencies to investigate University lecturers for election rigging.
The Kaduna lawmaker wrote: “The complicity of University lecturers in rigging elections should be well investigated by anti-corruption agencies in line with the issues raised by Professor Jega.”
