Will The Election Be Postponed Again? by milestonejnr(m): 3:42pm On Feb 27, 2015
I got taunted to ask myself whether INEC is really ready for this election.
First and foremost, on the issue of PVC. Up to a million people are yet to get their PVC coupled with issues regarding to non-indigens unable to get theirs in Lagos; Ogun getting theirs in batches rather than in bulk, etc.

Not withstanding what have been going on about this PVC issue; how credible is the card reader? Have they been tested to know whether they are factory-error free because these gadgets are made with ICs, wires, and technically speaking, they are prone to malfunction. There is need for material inspection before the election.


From logistics, the machine has been programmed to stop exactly 1 pm, and from calculations, you see that not more than three hundred voters would be attended to if it takes a minute to attend to a voter. What about polling centres with more than or up to three hundred voters? Will the voting be shifted to the next day?

Has there been a proper training on how to handle the equipment so that things will move smoothly that day? Who knows?

What would have happen if this election was not postponed? 20 million people wouldn't have voted. There are still rumours hovering that there are plans to postpone the elections AGAIN.

In my humble views, Jega is a focused man as he fights for improvement over election rigging, and things of that sort. In as much as he wants to eliminate the electoral abuses and fraud in the past, and minimize rigging to the barest minimum through voting electronically that will secure a forensic evidence, it should be done as fast as possible in order to meet up with time. Due to the negligence, attitude and indifference of the masses, his plans may not be 100% effective. However, this contest should be to be equitable, and no region should be more important than the other.
