Postponing these elections will bring about violence. What has INEC been doing for 4 years?. If someone can please explain this I will be overwhelmingly joyful..

Let's look at this scenario. Elections are postponed and APC eventually loses. You think they'd ever accept that result?

Jega thinks this election is child's play. I doubt if this man is mentally sound, he doesn't understand that this year's elections are pivotal to our democratic and social progress.

His PVC distribution and collection plan is useless and stupid. I went to INEC office in Area 10 to collect my PVC this morning only to be told I can't collect it because I registered in Enugu. I can't imagine how many nigerians are like me, who registered in a different state in 2010/2011 and left their area of registration permanently thereafter but can't vote in the upcoming elections because Jega can't use his brains properly even though he is a professor.

Jega must go after 2015.


INEC has the sole responsibility of sensitizing and informing eligible voters of the status of the TVC's and PVS. Technology has made it extremely easy to achieve this.

So if I registered as a voter in lets say, in an insurgency infested area like Baga in 2010/2011 and left, you expect me to go back to Baga and collect my PVC?

Or what if registered in lagos in 2011 and I no longer live in lagos and I am now disabled because I have an accident? That means i'm disenfranchised.

Why can't INEC have a centralised and publicly accessible database where users can check the status of their cards. INEC is not the NPC or NIMC, their activities are continuous and important.

All this talk are pointless, INEC announced February 14th as presidential election day, this same pdp appluded it, you know why because it gave APC very little time to prepare. Pdp were already campaigning through TAN and APC were still trying to get their heads together and do their primaries. All this while pdp saw no problem with the date but on successful APC primaries and the momentum at which they were on, pdp were taken by surprise, they never expected APC to work. In the words of okupe, call him a bastard if APC survives a year.

In summary, pdp shouldn't put pressure on INEC, they had all the time to raise all the issues but didn't because they expected APC to be weak.

Some salient points were made here. Would anyone want to go borno to conduct elections as it stands today? Let's be sincere. If the presidency gives his go ahead that elections should hold in just 32 states, as some people are suggesting to the president, then we're just creating an excuse for this election result to be rejected and annulled. That's when the rumour mills would say the president has always been the sponsor of insurgency.
The man has made good points. Who stands to gain and what does APC stand to lose if the elections are shifted?
I want this election to hold on the 14th, but I can assure you that if it holds, people already have legal reasons to call for it's annulment. If it holds, there's a high possibility that it would be annuled.

Jega must go after 2015. One need to apply to INEC to get his registration area changed, you failed to do that and here you are , ranting.

The unfolding scenario is very sad indeed! Bottomline: INEC is an agency of the federal government, which appointed the CEO. The failure of INEC is also the failure of government. After four years preparation, this is what we get - very shoddy to say the least. It also points to why this Jonathan government must go! Is preparing for an election in four years rocket science? We all have our ATM cards. If it's used in Lagos, another ATM manchine in Kano will confirm that it has been used in Lagos. If the banks can get it right why won't INEC after four years? Answer: INEC was programmed to fail! Jega realizes this, and is too ashamed not to go ahead with the elections. Also very curious that the federal government is not lifting a finger to help INEC succeed, like declaring public holiday to help PVC distribution and encouraging election in the secure thirty two states, while the other states holds theirs in April. Must all the elections hold at the same time? For example we have diferent dates for governorship in some states. My suggestion: Let's go ahead with the elections in the states that security is certain. The earlier we kick out this government, the quicker we discontinue the tardiness with which they have attended most matters that have bearing on our lives. Thank you.
