1st to comment!

I support INEC 100% on this.

In civilized countries, when a politician is rejected by the electorate, he calls his opponent and congratulates him. But in Nigeria, the next drama is court even when it is obvious they lost or starting Boko Haram for the opponent. I vividly remember what Great Ogboru did when he lost the Delta elections. Even when it was obvious he would lose again if the elections were conducted 100 times, with the attendant loss of national resources that follow such wasteful ventures !
Nigerian politicians always make useless demands when they lose, which is OK, but INEC must not bear their financial burden for them.
I support INEC refusing to waste N2.2 million naira on making useless photocopies.
BTW, isn't N2 million less than the amount given to the ladies that were hired to protest? This is a better way to use the money.

Inec pls collect dem that money weh dem steal from us
