INEC isn't prepared.
PDP isn't prepared.

The real reason for the postponement.

They were never prepared, Feb 14th was just too early to start with , but to change the date at the last minute is much worse.
The international community would now doubt our resolve at ensuring a successful democratic process.

I think APC have the most to gain from this, If the security chiefs come through with their promise FG would have done their job not gone above and beyond. APC have more time and I think they need to reconsider that debate.

PDP and GEJ have lost public trust , given it was reported GEJ was trying delaye and most people thought he can't be that stupid and he went ahead and shot himself in the foot.

APC can campaign more while GEJ would spend six weeks doing less campaigning and more trying to complete/commission long overdue projects to satisfy Nigerians but most smart people already see that game-plan and can't be fooled by it.

Would the elections have been postponed if the odds favoured GEJ/PDP?

Jonathan would have won by a landslide on the 14th.
Jega only coluded with his fulani brother buhari to delay the inevitable.
We are waiting for them in March and shall make it Mortuhari!

Whatever the international community thinks is inconsequential here. If PDP has lost the public trust, vote against them on election day. I am sure the public is more interested in having a free and fair election, a six weeks extension will make no difference.

It makes such a great deal, it van either galvanise individuals who had decided not to vote to do so , or it might cause individuals to become indifferent to the process and choose to stay away from a corrupted system.

The international opinion matters , world diplomacy and relationship with Nigeria would be different from now on, you can be sure Kerry or Obama , Cameron and co would have rang GEJ by now.

Like I said, people are free to galvanise and vote PDP out or stay home. The international community reaction is laughable. What was Kerry and Cameron relationships with Nigeria before the postponement? Leave that side alone. What I find funny are people crying and barking in the APC, a party led by Buhari. The man who sent a democratic elected government parking. Just the postponement of an election is bring all these tears. Imagine generals kicking out a civilian government in the name, of knowing what was better for Nigeria.

Make una fear God.
