INEC official postpones elections. Now March 28th and April 11th

INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega just briefed the media on the outcome of their meeting today. He said the 2015 general elections has been postponed by 6 weeks. Jega said the decision was made after briefings with various stakeholders notably political parties, security agencies, civil society and the media. He said 26 out of the 28 registered parties were at the meeting. Jega blamed the postponement on lack of security and collection of PVC. He said only 66% of the 96% PVCs has been collected

New dates: the presidential election will now hold March 28th while Governorship election will now hold April 11th. Who saw this coming?

From what I saw this evening. Jega himself is not fully ready for this election.

I pray peace will be upon Nigeria. There are some very corrupt people in this government that will do everything not to handover, The President doesn't even know how corrupt these people are, he is so good that he believes whatever they say to him. May God open his eyes.

We've seen elections hold in middle east countries amidst higher scale of insurgency, what is the size of their army compared to Nigerian army? The Nigerian military just passed a vote of no confidence on themselves by this claim/excuse.

JUST IN!

TEXT OF THE STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE APC – CHIEF JOHN ODIGIE-OYEGUN - ON THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE 2015 ELECTIONS BY THE INEC.



The All Progressives Congress, APC has just heard over the news media that The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has decided to postpone the elections by six weeks on the strength of a letter by the security chiefs that they cannot provide security for the elections nationwide because of the commitment of its resources to fight insurgency in the north eastern part of the country.

This is clearly a major setback for Nigerian democracy, and our Party is meeting in emergency session to study its implications and will inform Nigerians of its decisions in the next few days.

In the meantime though what has happened is highly provocative, I strongly appeal to all Nigerians to remain calm and desist from violence and any activity which will compound this unfortunate development. We must not fall into this obvious trap. Change we must. They can only delay it; No one can stop it.

I want to assure all Nigerians that the All Progressives Congress will not abandon its commitment to change and will sustain the struggle to establish a new Nigeria.



John E. K. Odigie-Oyegun. CON.

National Chairman, APC

Abuja, Feb. 07, 2015

Smh.... Linda, I saw it coming. PDP will be rejoicing right now. This will give them enough room to perpetuate dia rigging stategies n most likely get jega out of the way, since he has refused to be bought over by the presidency. No wonder that indomie brain man (Okupe) called jega a liar on live tv few days ago. I pray all their gimmicks n restrategizing will work against them. GMB certificate is no longer an issue. Chai... Naija I hail thee. The chief of defence staff claims they need 6weeks to fight boko-haram n boko boys have been wrecking havoc since 2009. RIP to all d dead heroes (soldiers). But then, that reason is untenable and baseless.

Unknown said...

I saw it coming when the NSO requested it in London. Unfortunately most Nigerians, intoxicated by the freedom of expression and civil liberties allowed them by Jonathan forgot what the office of NSO stands. The truth is that the President of Nigeria has enormous powers to do whatever he wants to do. Unfortunately President Jonathan, because of his innate humility, has always shied away from exploiting the powers of his presidency. Consequently many wind bags have been strutting the news media issuing provocative statements and empty threats. Know ye that nothing will happen if Jonathan decides to postpone the elections till Boko Haram is neutralized and Chibok girls returned. Unlike Obasanjo, Jonathan has much of the security forces behind him. So for the sake of our well being, let us all allow GEJ continue till 2019.

War that they did not win in 6year, they want to win in 6 weeks. And it suddenly is a reason to postpone election? We are waiting.

Not a good move. But the govt must have its reasons, reasons that would benefit them from the postponement, cos it's definitely not for pvc issues or security, heck since when did they give a hoot about security of Nigerian lives? Since when? Rubbish excuse!!!

Inec knew about this security issue 3year ago , jega knew about pvc's where not going to be ready 6months ago and they keep given Nigerian's hope ,elections will hold . Is only in Nigeria that this kind of things will happen, a lot of plans for the new dates already by individual Nigerians. Weddings , exams etc. Pls Nigerian govt should be proactive and be serious not to wake up overnight and change a date of such event. Sensitivity really matter .atleast jega as failed us here. Inec database fake,liers I don't believe in this government.

Just as stated in the self serving, greedy, African leaders' handbook.
The guilty are afraid, so, by hook or by crook.
Attack the opposing candidate's eligibility, Intimidate using the Police, DSS, Military and other security administrations. Diminish them in the process. Use and ridicule the Judiciary in the process of cooking up delays. Sponsor protests if all else fails.
Who is scared of an INTERNATIONALLY MONITORED FREE and FAIR election?
I mean, who doesn't want the people to make an INTERNATIONALLY MONITORED FREE and FAIR choice?
Who does not want the people to chose?

Shame of a nation.
Having a compromised Military service.
Military service chiefs working for a political party.
No wonder Boko Haram stayed effective for so long.
No wonder so many Nigeria citizens and military personnel have been lost so far to Boko Haram.
Hope the respected military boys are proud of their self serving, champagne drinking, pot bellied, ineffective chiefs.
National Defense Academy pride just went down the toilet.

I think this postponement is not the best. There is tension and fear everywhere in the land. Mass exodus from southerners in the north. People's means of livelihood have been put on hold all because of elections and now it's been shifted. Let's just vote and be done with it. The suffering will not reduce whether my brother wins or the other man wins.

‪#‎FailBuhari‬, postponed, and transformed to ‪#‎MarchBuhariDown‬.

Reasons:-

APC cloned the Ballot Papers for next week election, having been exposed to INEC database by some enemies within. And they massively planned a rigging that would shock the world by leaving the Anointed GEJ, who had vowed to deliver a free and fair Election, with a minimal number of votes.

That is why APC has been clamoring for early election, irrespective of the glaring irregularities and shortcomings of Jega led INEC.

They also systematically deleted majority of Christians from the INEC Database, so no PVC for Christians.

They are also using their Boko Boys to keep the Nigerian Army busy in the core North, so they can't come in to secure you and your votes, being fully in the know that their rigging machines were rendered ineffective in Ekiti, by the Military.

Underage voters were registered in the North to give them undue advantage against the other regions.

The APC have also been raising fears among the none indigenes resident in the North, who are to aid in giving GEJ the statutory 25% votes required across the board. The Igbos and others are now fleeing the North.

All these evil machinations are making them to be too sure of a win, while hitting their chest and pushing for next week vote.

Tibubu and his puppy (Buhari) knew they have scandalously lost the election to the postponement. They would have rigged themselves into power on Saturday, even though he is statutorily barred for lack of basic academic qualifications.

So, all the plans to rig with "integrity", has failed!

The whole plan to dodge the presentation of his certificate , has failed!

The whole plans to dodge the presidential debate has failed!

Now it's no longer ‪#‎FeBuhari‬, we must #MarchBuhariToHell

I like the postponement because 1. I have just collected my PVC, they are yet to find my wife's own. 2. The Feb 14 to me doesn't provide opportunity for pple like us working outside our place of residence where we initially registered because by that 14th, we are still working. But by end of month March 28, I can easily take permission having must have concluded official assignment before 27th. Insisting on election on 14th would have automatically disenfranchised quite a number of people particularly those yet to get their PVCs due to its non availability.

Anonymous said...

It is pathetic how these people reason. INEC is not ready and Nigerians are yet to get their PVC's and we are here shouting GEJ.

The commander in Chief has promised that Nigerians will not be disenfranchised and that is what we will get.

Anybody not ready to comply should march to kainji dam.

I love this twist. Enough time to finish the job.

GEJ for ever.
