Elections may not hold in troubled North east states - Jega

Chairman of INEC, Attahiru Jega says it may be difficult for them to conduct elections in three north-east states - Borno, Yobe and Adamawa next month. The states have been under Emergency rule for a while now
"A place like Borno state, unless something is done about those that have been displaced, even the time of the governorship election may be very very difficult, if not impossible under the circumstances. We are been realistic. We must say that it may be impossible to do elections everywhere and in every local government in every constituency in those three states" he said at a forum in Abuja today.
On the possibility of internally displaced people casting their votes during the elections, Prof Jega said
"First and foremost, we know that there are many Internally displaced persons in Nigeria on many causes but our focus is going to be on the North east zone and it will only be for internally displaced persons that are in that states" he said

      This is the reason why I said goodluck jonathan is either behind this boko haram thing or is purposely doing nothing... now people tell who does this favour apc or pdp? Why is it becoming worst prior to the election? Why has our president ignored their cry for help? Simple..... it all works in his favour. No north.... no buhari.

    No single Nigerian voter should be
    disenfranchised
    It is the responsibility of the government of the
    day to ensure that all Nigerians have a say on
    who becomes their leader after May 2015
    President Dr Jonathan can start by going to the
    North East to assure them that they are still

    the real reason for the present boko haram have started coming out. the bh is a PDP affiliate, an arrangement to disenfranchise some states in the north to enable jona continue in power. at least three states out of north is a good thing for his continuation cos he knows he is not going to get any vote from those states.
    But imagine the trouble, pains and agony he has been causing people to achievement his selfish agenda. God judgement is awaiting u jonathan - u ll never go unpunished for ur wickedness. what a tragedy..
