INEC Cannot Guarantee That Elections Will Hold On March 28 by maclatunji: 4:31pm On Feb 18, 2015
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega whilst answering questions from Senators at the plenary session of the Senate today where senators asked him several questions regarding the forthcoming elections.

Senator Gbenga Ashafa representing Lagos East senatorial district sought the assurance of the INEC Chairman that elections would hold on March 28 for Presidential and National Assembly elections whilst Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections would hold on April 11, 2015.

Responding to this, Professor Jega stated that it was difficult to give such a guarantee because "there are things under INEC's control and there are things outside of INEC's control. It is futile to make pronouncements on things that are outside of INEC's control." He said questions about things outside of INEC control should be directed to the appropriate quarters.

Professor Jega also explained that it is not possible to use Temporary Voters Card (TVC)because it had been discovered that there are 4 million people who did double registration to obtain them and their names had been struck out of the voter's register. Attempting to use TVCs on election day would lead to chaos as the people with TVCs that had committed double registration fraud would not be able to vote and would protest at polling units as happened in Anambra during the gubernatorial election there in 2013.

Then the Senate should invite either the service chiefs or NSA for us to hear from the horses mouth.

the earlier we start begging tunde bakare and other men of God to intercede on behalf of this nation the better for us. am not his fan but i have seen men of God do things that blew my sucks off.

you can say what you like but have it in mind that the things of the spirit are always foolish to the canal minded.

he was the very first prominent man of God to call for the postponement of this election by 6 months. he is of the APC and not PDP, he has even boldly said it that the elections may not hold until a time he is directed to move the chair from were he placed it on the alter.

if any foolish person go to move that chair without his instruction then you can be rest assured that their will not be any election in 2015 and nothing will happen.

Has the tension the supposed election brought upon us not died down?
Have people not started to see the unholy union between stack enemies and criminals of the state?
Are people not beginning to have a rethink about who to vote for?
the bubble is about to burst, just keep your ears to the ground.

i did not say indefinitely and that will only happen if its not an act of God. GEJ or Jega may not be the one to make the pronouncement when the time comes.

IS HE GOD??why has tunde bakare not used his so called spiritual power to stop boko haram??or he does not have power to fight boko haram but he has the one to stop election??keep fooling yourself...

why can't you just ask nigerians to pray to GOD who created them?what about if tunde bakare is not alive??are you saying nigeria will not move forward??

i said intercede on behalf of the nation.

pls get my point, in every thing in life there are levels just like in the spirit realm. we have accountants, chartered accountants and fellow chartered accountants. this are different level of people in accounting profession. when an accountant makes a plea,a chartered accountant also makes his and a fellow chartered accountant makes his own plea or application, which one do you think will get better audience?

if you think because every body can pray then their is no need to ask for intercession from men of God then i will leave you to your thinking

Thanks to the PDP. They are now using the state of insecurity to deny us our right. I doubt if any of our security chiefs can be considered by the UN to lead a peacekeeping mission like Aguiyi-Ironsi in the early 1960's.

It is easy to see that electoral process is being unfairly rigged by one party.

This why APC should immediately install a parallel government pending the conduction of free and fair elections.

Jegga should not compromise with this clueless government to truncate our democracy if this information were to be true because history and the generation unborn will not forgive them if election is not held at the stipulated time according to the constitution. God bless Nigeria.
Nigerian should also know that the power belong to the people and not to any individual or group of people that don't have the interest of the country at heart. Its high time we choose who ever we like to manage the affairs of this great nation and not the other way round.
Time will tell.

Wow




This has always being the scheme of PDP for a long time.
If we can't win the polls, we use other available means to stop the election from not happening and this is what JEGA see and talks about.


This gives credit and momentum to the ING that people and his cabinet did proposed and sharareporters talked about.
That's how heavy this accusations is........... that's why they are using security as a baite to make people believe.

Why are APC agents plain evil? Why stir up unnecessary tension where none exists?

Jega is clear that some decisions are beyond INEC. The security chiefs have to guarantee security for the election to proceed.

At the moment the security chiefs have not changed their commitment to concluding the offensive in the NE before March 28th...... so what does APC and their paid e-agents stand to gain from heating up the polity.

After this elections. ... we must nail the burial coffin of APC. They have caused this country many troubles.
If this is the kind of evil, propaganda based opposition politics they are bringing to the table... then we are better off with a one party system.
