Even Mr Obama have given recognition to Jega "The golden man"

Apart from the two strong contestant standing for election in Nigeria, another name on people's lips is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega. He made his mark by carrying out his diligent duty peacefully and restoring faith in the democratic process of electing a new leader.

“Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its chairman, Attahiru Jega, deserve special recognition for what independent international observers have deemed a largely peaceful and orderly vote.” - President Barack Obama
