Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by awuf2008: 7:13am On Apr 04, 2011
Despite assurance and adequate preparation made by Inec, yet the much talked National Assembly Election which supposed to hold last saturday was postponed due to logistics. In your own view, Who is to Blame? Government or Inec?

Stop making a hell of a noise about tax payers money. Have you ever paid tax in your life? Allow the man to do his job,we must learn to be patient and do things the right way.
Even if it takes time but the most important thing is for us to get it right this time. So men chill out and allow justice to take its place.

Jega has the damn blame. The man is not serious, how can you call off an election and fix new date without due consultation and considerations. The man is simply spontaneous and will end up conducting the worst election in the history of this great country. When the wind blows we shall see the anus of a fowl, embarassed

You should praise Jega for coming out publicly to take responsibility of the whole mess,who has ever done that in the history of Nigeria? I think he will be the best electoral empire Nigeria has ever had.
Check out his track record ever since he was appointed and bear in mind that he can not be evry were at the same time considering the fact that there people out there who want to sabotage the elections for there own selfish gains.
Allow him to do what is right and lets pray that Nigeria gets it right this time around because we don't have another 4yrs to waste.

Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by Kayman3(m): 2:31pm On Apr 04, 2011
I know some people will still prefer IWU, who would hav gone ahead with the election and come back the second day and will anounce fabricated result with respect to his PDP allies.
Kudos to JEGA.
The problem now are some of the so called State RECs and Local RECs.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by Gbenge77(m): 2:34pm On Apr 04, 2011
Without mincing words,the blame should be laid at the doorsteps of INEC.
Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by Demdem(m): 2:46pm On Apr 04, 2011
No doubt, IMO INEC is to be blamed however i will heap the BIGGER BLAME on the government of [b]J[/b]onathan [b]E[/b]bele [b]G[/b]oodluck [b]A[/b]zikwe.
Before now, so many of us have clamoured for the total retructuring of elections in naija. Yaradua came in and told us that trully the election that brought him to power was faulty and he promised us electoral reforms. he agreed that the system is faulty and needed to be amended. This he started by setting up the Justice Uwais committe and having spent billions, the committee came out with a very comprehensive report which comprises issues that pertains to leadersship, finance, logistic, procedural etc of the electoral body. However the late president died and couldnt work on this further

One would think that a sincere govt will pick up the report, work and implement it. even if u cant implement it 100% but at least do something with it, but alas GEJ threw it to the bin giving us the impression that it isnt implementable. but of cos this is not so. he simply doesnt have the political will to do it and probably under the pressure of PDP knowing fully well that there is no way they can win free and fair elections in naija if its not rigged.

i have said it in one of this threads here that even if we have a wiser and better person to head INEC as it is, there is no way we can have free and fair elections. Its simply not possible. we all know that the only difference between Iwu's Inec and Jega's INEC is just the leadership however electoral fraud goes beyond that. thank Goodness last saturday's election had to be postponed, a lot of attrocities were noticed even different from what JEGA was facing in Abuja.

I believe in one Naija however i am not convince that we are going to have a free and fair election. its simply not possible with this present system and the govt of GEJ isnt ready to change despite the fact that they have the whole time to at least do something about it. Definately elctoral reforms isnt patr of GEJ's achievement becos there wasnt one in the first instance.

Nigerians please dont hesistate to still come out during the polls however dont expect a free and fair election. what happened on saturday throughout the country should be an eyeopener.
Peace.

GEJ's badluck

Only in his government have we witnessed a postponed election, bombing on our independence day and new year day, Jos turned to a killing field, and many more.

I'm beginning to think this guy's goodluck is for himself alone, lol

nobody's fault,
Jega should not resign, he has done a good job so far & he has broken the backs of those who has planned rigging,
Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by efisher(m): 3:32pm On Apr 04, 2011
First, the election has not been cancelled. It was only postponed.

As for who is responsible, it is BOTH but mostly INEC (80%). Why?

INEC: INEC is an INDEPENDENT body and should be responsible for the good and bad. Also, the fact that it was a logistic problem tells me that somebody really made some seriously wrong decisions. Those result sheets are on the CRITICAL PATH! You don't mess any thing on the critical path! Jega gave his full assurance that everything was under control and the whole nation believed him including Mr President.

Government: Everything happened under the watch of the government. Though they have provided the funds and the necessary resources, they will still have to take a little share of the blame. Perhaps, we have to redefine how "INDEPENDENT"  INEC should be. Execution needs to be monitored more closely to prevent catastrophic failures.

God help Jega. cry
Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by Demdem(m): 3:46pm On Apr 04, 2011
To those of us who went out on saturday knew that the problems of INEC is more than the logistic issue JEGA is facing in ABUJA. on the ground, peeps names were missing, logos of a party was absent in place like Gombe, a friend of mine in lagos claimed he saw ACN logo (the broom) on two parties (please can someone confirmed this if true). I personnally was disenfranchised. i registered in rumuodara PH but my name wasnt found at the polling unit. I read it in the dailies today that the REC of cross rivers was thankfull to God that the election was postponed because the whole exercise would have been fraudulent having noticed that some INEC officials have compromised etc.
The problem was obviously more than logistics.

Do u know how many plans were disrupted all because of the election? they only see Nigerians as their toys and can do whatever with whenever they like.

There is no way u can be perfect in every way but we should try to be in some ways.

Re: Who Is To Blame For Cancelled Election? Govt Or Inec by Tadeus(m): 5:01pm On Apr 04, 2011
Jega is totally at fault and he will receive all the blames. this is very bad,He knows that he was not capable of organizing the election, why did he accept the offer to become INEC chairman? But now, we have to stop blaming him and allow him to organize the election and after election, I think Jega must pay  for the failure.


I pity Jega Walai. No one should blame him, he is trying to make it a free and fair election.

I do not pity him at all, There is something we did not know, if this cancellation occurs again, their will be problem in Nigeria and we need to pray that it should not lead to civil war. This man is paid for everything and he received assistance from Federal government, what else did he want.? I think we should stop blaming the man for now and allow him to conduct the election first

Gbam! Well said. Obviously the presidency and pdp were worried about a free and fair election not going their way,\. But Jega was still inefficient at the task. Look at the way IBB and Humphrey Nwosu conducted the 1993 elections successfully. It just takes seriousness and a willingness to achieve success on the part of govt and the agency in charge to determine they want a free and fair election and it would be done.

Like u said it is more than logistics but we know Nigerians are so ineficient at task because the leaders are too corrupt to encourage success, Nigeria ought to be one of the easiest countries to govern because of our tendency to bootlick and follow follow attitude; never challenging authorities because of fear and unawareness of rights. A determined leader can do a lot and encourage a huge followership. See how people like Oshomole in Edo state and Fashola in Lagos are trying their best. Corruption is still the root of this disastrous election process and Jega is not just up to speed here

Agreed Jega is to be blamed and he already accepted responsibility for the flop. Move on and thank God for a man who had to courage to say 'Iam sorry' and let him do the right thing.
BTW How many of you went out to vote on saturday?
