Breaking News: INEC Bows To Pressure, Presidential Election Now Holds 28th March by nigerianewsbeat(m): 8:30pm On Feb 07, 2015
Reports reaching us from reliable sources indicate that the Independent National Electoral Commission has extended the date for both the presidential elections and the governorship elections.

The presidential election has been rescheduled from the earlier date of February 14, 2015 to a new date March 28, 2015.

The governorship election will hold two weeks later, on the 11th of April, 2015.

The polity has been heated with series of threats and possible chaos should elections go ahead; and before INEC decided to bow down to pressure from above, a new report came out on Saturday, 7th of February, 2015, highlighting the fact that the National Security Adviser to the presidency will not guarantee security to INEC officials should they go ahead with the elections.

Earlier in the week, an exclusive report from dailytimes.com indicated that the presidency was going to coherce INEC, using every means within its powers, to shift elections by six weeks.

In the same manner, we brought you the story of an INEC official admitting to Reuters News Agency that INEC may be forced to shift the general elections.

The Council of State, which met to rectify the postponement of elections on Thursday, 5th of February, 2015, however endorsed INEC to exercise its mandate of conducting the 2015 general elections.

With this latest twist in the Nigerian polity, it remains to be seen how the opposition reacts to this new development.

Finally.

I can predict any thing correctly in Nigeria. JEGA has no option but to shift the polls. I dare the APC to make true of their threat and cause troubles.

If we dey talk, all this inexperienced people go dey talk.

The grave implication of this action is that more search light will beam on Buhari's certificate, legal actions, debate and other skeletons exposed.

You have killed Pa Buhari with the emboldened. Did you just say MORCHUHARY.

It is good to, and I will suggest that we should all, keep and have an open mind. The latest report that just came in is that 21 resident electoral commissioners have rejected the shift in the election.

But,let us not be sentimental; without security, elections would be a mess. Or does anyone have a contrary view?

Cheers!!!

oh yes..do u mean the same security issue dey ve nt bn able to tackle for the past 6yrs? Let's assume its true election is postponed, What is the probability that the govt will tackle d issue of insecurity b4 then(the new date) when they ve tried for many yrs to no success? Is just 2days 2 much for the govt to ensure adequate security for the entire populace?

Something is fundamentally wrong: something neglected for six years to be handled for six weeks?
