In the new schedule announced on Saturday by the Chairman of the commission, Professor Attahiru Jega said that the Presidential Election will hold on March 28 while the Governorship election will hold on April 11.

Professor Jega said that the commission had had wide range consultations with relevant stakeholders before the decision was taken.

He said that the decision of the commission was in the interest of Nigeria’s democracy.

So,this is really true after all the speculations. My view is slightly different.

emotions apart, it is better to have elections we are fully prepared for than to conduct haphazard polls that will make the world laugh at us again.

Right now, Nigeria's international reputation is at its lowest, we cant afford a further dip.

INEC might also be trying to avoid court cases that would truncate this democracy.

Any of those states in the north east can prove in the court of law that they were disenfranchised.

What if buhari or Jonathan has one short of the mandatory 25 percent in two thirds of the country and then the loser approaches the court that he would have had the full two third if elections held in the affected states.

By the way, I would prefer an election held in April with relative security than one held next week where we hear boko haram has bombed voters.

Most of us want change. Lets demand change with common sense.

So, these cowards have blackmailed INEC & Nigerians (using security) into postponing the elections.

These incompetent lot had more than 1 year to restore normalcy in the Northeast in preparations for the elections, and yet (typically) they failed miserably. Now, suddenly these baboons want Nigerians to trust them to do their job in 6 weeks.

Ok, so now PDP & GEJ have got their wish - sufficient time to perfect their evil agenda. But contrary to their expectations, things will play even more favourably into the hands of #TeamGMB.

One way or the other, come March 28th, this inept government MUST go! Change isn't something that can be postponed or delayed, it can only be accelerated when the time has come.

[size=15pt] Quotes from twitter [/size]

So,apparently,one of the reasons Boko Haram was frantically sustained has been delivered to #Nigerians tonight.

It is clear that this postponement decision, by @inecnigeria ,was forced. This has a lot of implications regarding #NigeriaDecides

It is strange that security agencies have a timetable for combating insurgents that coincides with the exact period planned for elections

This government has basically said they'd combat insurgency successfully over the next 6 weeks. Setting themselves up for more failure?

There will be reactions, hopefully peaceful and lawful. I think INEC's hands were forced by a dictator who needs more time to dance naked

There will be attempts, over the next few weeks, to disqualify @thisisbuhari and send Prof. Jega packing ahead of his full term in June

Let it be on record that even though Nero fiddled and IBB annulled an election that actually held, a worse coward has bared ugly fangs.

[size=13pt] Change isn't something that can be postponed or delayed, it can only be accelerated when the time has come. For Nigeria #ThingsMustChange

A king that is afraid to face the battle that will end his reign is one that only defers -- and accentuates -- his coming disgrace.

Writing on the wall ,אנמ ,אנמ ,לקת ופרסין Mene, Mene, Teqel, Upharsin God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end!

It is safe to say Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is behind the Boko Harram insurgency in #Nigeria by refusing to deal with terrorism until election . [/size]

[size=15pt] Fellow Nigerians, Lets shun violence and peacefully March4Buhari [/size]

I know Buhari is not the perfect option. Going by His campaigns, I'm not sure He plans to do a lot for Us but for the love of our countrymen in the north, Please let's eject the less than capable commander in chief and insert the experienced Major General. Please ignore the silly cries of Islamizing the nation cos such cannot happen in a democratic regime.

We've had a lot of terrible Presidents (Gej included) but we survived.

Let's give the Northerner a chance a chance to eliminate Boko Haram, a chance to restore total ownership of our land to Green White Green.

Jona had his chance, but he failed & failed woefully Giving Him a the seat till 2019 might make us end up like countries like Iran (where terrorism is now a normal job in the life of the citizen.

So Please for the love of Nigeria, let's ignore our tribal differences & put an end to the leadership of the clueless & shoeless President.

Jega was Forced to such a decision, since the presidency, PDP stalwarts, security chiefs aided by the commander in chief of armed forces are doing and have done everything possible to frustrate the February election. They just wnt to gather steam to frustrate the opposition since all they have used against the opposition are not yet enough to carry the day. Their antics against buhari will be enough for that 6 weeks they clamour for

The more they postpone, the more Buhari gaining more votes
