Its easy to say what you are saying when you are not among the about 30million that will be disenfranchised. Spin all the story you want but those 30million voters need to be heard(by their votes). Ask JEGA why.

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.

Evvilgenius:

INEC never said its not ready for the elections. And don't lump me with you online political thugs because if I'm in any camp, the other camp will be in disarray by now.

ayindejimmy:


It's most disturbing how you reason. When did inec said it was not ready? Even if the election is postponed for a year some people will till be disenfranchised. Because they've relocated or they're incapacitated on the election day.

stevecantrell:
YES!! GEJ Forever and ever and ever...GEJ would have been the greatest "G.O" in Africa with hundreds of millions brain-numb followers.

I think he missed his calling in life.

Raiders:
30 millions are not disenfranchised like you stated. Most of theV PCs are ready to collect but some people don't want to collect their PVC. Today INEC stated they have distributed over 70% of the PVC and people can still collect till Feb 13th. The problem with Nigerians is we always wait till the last mins to do stuffs.

TechRev:


And why should INEC determine who falls under your "most"? Every registered Nigerian should vote. Lucky you, you have collected yours. I know people that are tired of going to their LGA repeatedly and still cant get theirs. JEGA had 4yrs to do this. Its a pity he is still talking 70% please what is 30% of 63million??
Every registered Nigerian should get his PVC and be able to use it. INEC failed!

jamex93:
see Mr poster INEC is an independent body, and they can make decisions according to how they tink is the Best....

Raiders:
Even if the election is move to 2019, every Nigerians will still not be able to collect their PVC. You should also consider that millions of people have died since 2011, Many people have also move from the place they register and some people just don't want to collect their PVC. Also previous elections in Nigeria was less than 50% in turn out. In fact it was 32% turn out in lagos in 2011.

For the past 6 years they've been telling us they couldnt defeat insurgency, and now they'll defeat it in 6 weeks. Azazi has been vindicated, PDP is boko Haram.

barcanista:
This election postponement is most embarrassing and a testament that Preofessor Attahiru Jega is an incompetent and clueless dude just like the President. This is the first time since we returned to democracy that the INEC Boss will openly take orders from the NSA, the Military and members of pro-PDP as regards election scheduling and rescheduling. Since when has the Military activities determines elections scheduling? The Electoral Act and the Constitution did not say NSA, Military and INEC should determine election date. Even if there is crises in a part of the country, Section 26(1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (amended) permit INEC to hold election in the peaceful area and reschedule for the trouble zone at a convenient date. Why can't Jega invoke this section and exclude Gombe, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe from Feb 14 and Feb 28 poll until March 28 and Aprill 11 respectively? Since when do we need the Military for election? What is the Statutory duties of the Police, the NSCDC, and by extension the DSS with respect to internal security? If personnels are not enough then why not bring in other paramilitary to assist? Must it be the Military? Was the Military used in 2003, 2007 and 2011 election? Militarisation started from Edo 2012,then Ondo(2012), Anambra(2011), Osun and Ekiti(2014) Gubernatorial contests. When did the Military become statutory responsible for internal security? The letter of the Chief of Defense State that was communicated to Jega through NSA Sambo Dasuki is treachery and unfortunate. Jega's announcement yesternight only confirmed that he doesn't know what he is doing. This is a shame, our democracy has been raped.

doctokwus:
Sometimes I get disappointed that some Nigerians have to wait for foreign news agencies to confirm what is obvious to every person that has stopped sucking his/her mother's breast.GEJ has no intention of conducting an election with a buhari that has a cult like support across the country.
The six weeks shift is with the hope and devilish intent that something dramatic happens,even if its death or incapacitation of GMB. If nothing happens then,another devilish plot wud be hatched, including truncating d constitution.
This plan wud not stop if this present decision by INEC is taken for granted.
There is a battle for the soul of the nation and its not the time to swallow every decision hook,line and sinker,less more despicable decisions wud be rammed down our throats.
This is the time for progressives to restrategize and we have no better advantage than the fact that the touch bearer,GMB,has a fanatical support base and cult like following.Many other countries who have tried wrestling power from a monstrous cabal wud envy us in having a man that commands such following.
GEJ wants to retain power at all costs,there has to be legitimate ways of stopping him with a leader like GMB.
Nigeria lost the opportunity with chief mko Abiola,it wud be suicidal to do same now.

Evvilgenius:
Fellow Nairalanders, postponement of the elections is part of a grand plot by GEJ and his cohorts to hold unto power indefinitely, and this is how.
First, they will claim they want to do a special operation in the North East for a particular span of time (which they've put at 6 weeks presently).
After this 6 weeks, they'll record a degree of success but the insurgency will still be on. They will then demand for another time and say they can't provide adequate security for elections if they've not finished their operation.
Ultimately, they'll state that they can't provide security for elections with because of their North Eastern operations which translates to ELECTION WONT HOLD UNTIL BOKO HARAM IS TOTALLY CRUSHED. And we all know that's not any time soon. This line of action will definitely cause unrest as many will see it as a breech of Nigeria's democratic institution.
Finally, in as much as I have nothing against the military providing internal security during elections, I think internal security is the duty of the police, sss, civil defense etc and these people can go on with their duty if our military insist they all want to go to sambisa forest. Thank you for reading.

The post below shows that your post is dumb




God bless you

My neighbour is yet to obtain her PVC

Kinfunfun22:


But really, you are the one that is dumb. Is INEC's reason for the postponement not security? Or where did u hear Jega talking about PVC? Try to speak only when you're well informed next time.

BlackTechnology:


Security is one of the reasons

PVCs is the most important , that's why Clark and Ekweume wrote to reasonable Nigerians.

Unfortunately you did not hear.

Kinfunfun22:


Who is talking about Clark the noisemaker here? We are talking about why Jega said INEC is postponing the election.

Olodo

The military was used to stop Jega after Ekwueme and Clark complained
