Faced with Herculean task of printing more ballot papers for the rescheduled Saturday’s National Assembly Election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has turned to local contractors to deliver 19 million fresh ballot papers before Saturday. The ballot papers are to replace those already used in many states during the aborted April 2 election.

However, the situation reports from the states on the readiness of the Commission has shown that it could not meet up with the logistic challenges in some areas in some states, especially where the election was held last Saturday before the sudden cancellation.

A decision extracted from the meeting of the Commission’s leadership involving the National Commissioners indicated barring any last minute change of mind, the INEC has ruled out elections on Saturday in 13 Senatorial districts and 45 Federal Constituencies.

The Senatorial districts and Federal Constituencies, it was gathered spread across, Kwara, Oyo and Osun states.
The initial proposal, sources revealed was that some states to be exempted from the polls due to logistics challenges which apart from ballot papers also included transportation. Such states had included Lagos and four other states in the North but the meeting decided later to instruct the Resident Electoral Commissions across the country to make use of commercial vehicles to fill the gap created by the absence of official vehicles to ferry officials and materials for the elections.

Wish I knew the answer to that question

I've not heard of a country in this day and age struggling to do a simple election. Where else does this sort of thing happen?

You no tire for this country?

This is a shame! utter shame! But why are Nigerians never ready? Why are we never prepared? see the amount of money this buffon has taken from our treasury he has the guts to still suspend elections in some quarters. Now from i think this has open an avenue for new rigging strategies for PDP and OYO of all states. Na wao!

This is what you get when you have an incompetent government at the helm of affairs! The shoddy arrangement by INEC would have been avoided if the bereft PDP government had passed the electoral act 2years ago or even 10months ago! Rather they played selfish and despotic politics with the lives of millions of Nigerians.

I feel sorry that some people are even contemplating voting PDP in this election!

You should know its normal, dissapointments and foulplay, thats PDP's moto

I dont know what these people at the helm of affairs are taking us for. Look at the man that has been souting all this while that INEC is ready to conduct credible election is now turning back. Upon billions of naira been collected he still complaining about logistics which type of logistics let's ask him (JEGA) is he going to heaven to print ballot paper?

Nothing has worked and nothing will ever work under PDP. Only a fool will vote PDP.

I feel very sorry for Jega. I still believe the guy meants well.

^^^ Me too. I still haven't written him off though.

Any update on this suspension?

T.B Joshua Said the elections would be postponed three times, and now its like his prophecy has come to pass! Smh

I still believe in Jega
i'd rather we have a rough ride and smooth ride than vice- versa.
If this is the price for emancipation, then so be it

Jaga jaga (jega) is a fool n a criminal n INEC is full of useless people, dey give him every thing he ever ask 4, so wht da Bleep is the problem with him now, i m sure PDP r behind all this, dey planing to RIGG dis election.

both pdp and jega will end up with shame. jonathan appointed the best man for that position according to his uninformed information set-ups and today, what we are seeing are signs of incompetency and as such, the latest billionaire arround(Prof. dr. eng. chief. bar. rev. bishop. imam attahiru jega. mot, fss, rip, hiv, gop, oed, hod, mms, irs, efcc,pdp, rig, dstv, ait) shld in the spirit of sportsmanship, throw in the towel and let the streets of this country take the next step.
nigeria needs change and pdp, jonathan and a million jegas cannot afford this much needed and deserved change hence the egypt, libyan, tunisian, algerian etc new model change method is eminent.

I said/posted this on a thread yesterday, and I will repeat it here. . . 'election will be shifted forward again'.
It's a pity though.

We pray to God to see us successfully through with the elections without any more hitches. Every diabolical plan to derail the elections will continue to fail, in Jesus' Name. All who are out to creat problems for Nigeria will continue to fail, & will continue to reap the evil they are sowing unless they change, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

whether Credible or "Incredible" elections, Jega as a matter of national security should be audited. so much treasury bills had been committed into this election for such a shameful flop we seem to be experiencing.

The Senatorial districts and Federal Constituencies, it was gathered spread across, Kwara, Oyo and Osun states

But anyone with an update on the main areas in those states?

Hmmmmm 9ija 9ija,

Kwara - where Bukola Saraki wants to disgrace his father and benefactor at all costs, he needs a PDP house to hold out
Oyos - Where Akala wants to die to be the 1st Oyo State governor to do back to back terms he needs a PDP house
Osun State - Where they are desperate to win back, they need a PDP house to give Aregbesola a tough time


When they finish stuffing the boxes they will let us do the election, hmmm

na lie ds time around oooo, u must show us the empty ballot box b4 we start to vote and we are going to close the polls together
