They said some pastors prophesy won't work and you see how the whole thing is turning out.

These military officers will be very charged when they finished defeating boko haram in the coming weeks. The sense of victory will give them the impetus to disrupt the government and everyone will be subjected to interim government.

The president thinks he is the only one with a plan, what he doesn't know is, the military are still itching for the old days.

Is it not an anomaly that the military are providing security for elections. Their constitutional duty is to maintain the territorial integrity of Nigeria which they are trying to do now (we appreciate it) and not to provide security for elections. This is a clear sign that the military are beginning to overstep their boundaries.
Security for elections is the work of NSCDC and NPF.

I don't quite get what you mean sir. was it apc who fixed February 14 as election day? and again, I smell something sinister about the army. the way they have been partisan of late speaks volume. isn't it suspicious that the very idea of election postponement has always been muted and supported by sympathizers of the present government? the army mean to tell Nigerians that every soldier we have is right now in the troubled areas fighting insurgents? great! so what guarantee is there that if the election is shifted, those soldiers would have won the fight and be as at then available for election duties? every right thinking Nigerian can see right through the antics of the present government. I wish them well but also hope that when repercussions start to manifest themselves, Jonathan will also be ready to deal with that.

GEJ is the Chief Securuty Officer of the country who would be held responsible if female suicide bombers kill voters at the polling booths, and this same people will come out to blame it on the President. This was the same people who deliberately misadvised the president to initially treat BH with kid gloves, until BH grew into a full blown war. GEJ knows better now than to listen to the mischievous APC noise makers. The APC are jittery that GEJ is about to wipe out BH with the sensible support of neighboring countries of Chad, Niger and Cameroun, who themselves have realised that if they do not join hands with Nigeria, as it is been done in other parts of the world fighting terrorism, it would spread into their countries.

The APC feels that the BH who constitute the major plank of their political campaigning is about to be destroyed within the next few weeks, and that is why they want the elections to hold even with the logistics and security issues littered all over the place. Their APC rigging plans involve threatening GEJ's supporters in the north with violence, to the effect that a lot of them are relocating back to other parts of the country, while the northern Christians are being threatened with BH and other Hausa/Fulani extremist who are daily killing and maiming Christians in the north. Proper security will guarantee free and fair elections and GEJ will ensure that no elections will take place without proper security in order to prevent any form of rigging. A two months extension will not hurt anybody except those who are benefitting from the activities of Bokoharam. GEJ till 2019.

I don't understand what the fuss is about, unless the APC has a sinister plan tied to that February 14 date that we are not aware of. Nobody is talking about postponing the May 29 handover date. As long as that date remains sacrosanct, elections can take place at any time before then so what gives? We can't accuse Jonathan of gaining anything by postponing the date of the election since it wouldn't add even an hour to his tenure. Why the noise?

Well I don't really see how that postponement is supposed to make any difference in the acceptability of any candidate. I'm sure most supporters of either parties already have their mind set on who they want. A few new jobs done now will not win anybody over to any side least likely the opposition who sees everything new as propaganda. That can't be his reason (if any) for wanting the election postponed.

If the allegations are true that some regions are being sidelined in the distribution of PVCs,then it makes sense for them to agitate for postponement. I would too if I live in a region where I've tried unsuccessfully to get my VC and can't . Who wants to be taken for a ride ?


Personally I'm indifferent to the issue of postponement or carrying on as scheduled.

I'm just confused as to why the opposition keeps saying it is a tactic by the ruling party to manipulate the elections when they can't even give a meaningful explanation of how that is 'supposed' to work in favor of the ruling party except of course somewhere deep down they(APC) believe truly that the regions supporting GEJ are being disenfranchised hence their call for the fast forward while the odd are still in their favor.



Here's the thing though, the way APC hasn't been clear about how it'll favor GEJ is the same way GEJ hasn't really given a consistent reason. On one hand, you hear its because of the NE, on the other your hear its because PVCs are not being distributed in the south. No one was pushing for postponement before now even though a lot of people were complaining about PVC collection. It was when it started coming from the presidency that efforts has been ramped up by different groups and individuals to push for this postponement. Election postponement should come as a last resort after every available option has been explored and I'm not convinced all options have been explored. Only APC states have declared a work free day to encourage collection, the FG hasn't even attempted this to see if it'll improve the numbers

What's funny also is even GEJ supporters on here dismissed the news when it first started making the rounds because it made it appear like GEJ was nervous. Some said it was a lie that no one wants postponement. All of a sudden, now that they know for sure the push for the postponement is coming from the president himself, they have all changed their tone. Perhaps they have realized that the election holding next week won't favor their candidate.

I can't give you any concrete proof but the truth is, I haven't seen a lot from this administration that'll make me trust their motives. Almost everything they do appears to serve their interest so I don't see this as any different. Again this is my opinion

If the military calls for postponement because of security issues then INEC should do the needful. A lot of those soldiers are already engaged in active combat role in the NE with the combine effort of other coalition forces. And now that the soldiers are wining the war through massive aerial bombardment and agressive combing of the forest by ground troops, disengaging or withdrawing them for election purpose at the peak of this crisis may spell doom for us

The security forces that have been compromised and debased. Enough number of people may not come out to vote because of fear of intimidation and accidental discharge from the military. Theis is just like, because of security breaches, military officers are the invilgilating WAEC students.....The students may not perform well as a resut of fear.

Let the police do their job....this is a democracy and if the police force cannot provide security again, let the force be scrapped so that we will know that the military are doing the jobs of two forces.
It is only the military that can prevent Buhari's foot soldiers from unleashing their usual violence against GEJ's supporters, and GEJ will have non of it. The President will have his way at the end of the day, as long as the may 29 handover date remains sacrosanct. The only thing Buhari and his APC noise makers can do is to continue their inconsequential noise making. GEJ till 2019.
