Former President Goodluck Jonathan's social media aide, Reno Omokri, has thrown a jibe at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stating that maybe the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) should start conducting elections in Nigeria.

He stated this on Wednesday, July 5 via his Twitter handle @renoomokri while reacting to JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who offered ₦1 million to anyone who can prove that the UTME platform suffered a glitch.

The N1 million offer is coming following Mmesoma Ejikeme’s UTME score and JAMB saga.

Omokri, who commended Benjamin’s confidence, added that JAMB is obviously more efficient than INEC.

He wrote: “I must doff my hat to the JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin. Offering ₦1 million to anyone who can substantiate the allegation that JAMB's UTME platform suffered a glitch. What confidence. If only INEC's spokesman could be this confident.

“Maybe we should allow JAMB to conduct future elections in Nigeria. They are way more efficient than INEC!”
