Prof. Attahiru Jega, former Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, has said that he joined the Peoples Redemption Party because he remains a disciple of its founder, the late Mallam Aminu Kano.
The former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities during the military administration of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida presently teaches Political Science at Bayero University, Kano.
The choice of Jega was ratified during the 62nd National Executive Committee meeting of the PRP held in Kaduna on June 22.
While confirming that he had joined PRP, Jega said, “Yes, I am one of his (Aminu Kano’s disciples,” but gave no details.
