According to Punch, the national commissioners that have been shortlisted to replace Jega include Mohammed Wali from Sokoto State, Amina Zakari from Jigawa State, Mohammed Kurmi Hammanga from Adamawa State and Ishmael Igbani from Rivers State.

Earlier reports had it that Jega would be replaced by Olufemi Mimiko, brother of the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, but sources say that his appointment is no longer feasible due to the fact that he is a new hand and preparations for the elections are already in an advanced stage.
