PHILipu1:You are a stark illiterate. So because according to you PDP was given 16 years to tinker with Nigeria, then the directionlessness and disaster called Buhari should be allowed to cause further damage beyond 2019? It is very clear you dont know anything. Why bother with Egypt while you are in Afghanistan? |

omenkaLives: I have said it before and will continue saying it again that any intelligent observer will notice how the press has lent itself as a tool of information manipulation a.k.a. propaganda against the president - it is so blatantly clear. Check the owners of most of these media houses, you'll find they are mainly PDP; with an axe to grind against the govt's anti corruption policy - they don't like it because it is no longer business as usual; so they are trying everything to discredit the president, including dangerous exploitation of ethnic, religious and regional fault lines.. 2 Likes |

The body charged with this task of conducting free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). INEC under Part 1 of the Amended Electoral Act 2011 is recognized as established by section 153 (1) (f) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and its composition and powers are seen under the Third schedule, which provides thus: The Commission shall have power to – organize, undertake and supervise all elections to the offices of the President and Vice-President, the Governor and Deputy Governor of a State, and to the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each State of the Federation; register political parties in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution and an Act of the National Assembly; monitor the organisation and operation of the political parties, including their finances; arrange for the annual examination and auditing of the funds and accounts of political parties, and publish a report on such examination and audit for public information; arrange and conduct the registration of persons qualified to vote and prepare, maintain and revise the register of voters for the purpose of any election under this Constitution; monitor political campaigns and provide rules and regulations which shall govern the political parties; ensure that all Electoral Commissioners, Electoral and Returning Officers take and subscribe the Oath of Office prescribed by law; delegate any of its powers to any Resident Electoral Commissioner; and carry out such other functions as may be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly. In addition to its establishment by the Nigerian Constitution, Nigeria’s Electoral law (The Electoral Act 2011) under Part 1 went on to also make more clarifications on the status of INEC as an establishment stating thus: The Independent National Electoral Commission as established by Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a body corporate with perpetual succession and may sue and be sued in its corporate name. In addition to the functions conferred on it by the 1999 Constitution, the Commission shall have power to: conduct voter and civic education; promote knowledge of sound democratic election processes; and conduct any referendum required to be conducted pursuant to the provision of the 1999 Constitution or any other law or Act of the National Assembly. |

kcmichael: I can see that that mental surgery they performed on you has developed complications.

Proudlyngwa: Making and amending laws do not touch the neutrality of the INEC. Whether presidential elections hold first or the legislative, how does that hamper INEC's preparations and conduct of elections as an unbiased umpire? |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Proudlyngwa(m): 12:45pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
freeze001:Because it is INECs responsibility to set date and sequence. If the NA is not comfortable with that let them make a law taking such powers away from INEC . They can't be Lawmakers and Executives at the same time. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by freeze001(f): 12:50pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa: Nope. The laws creating and regulating the INEC are made by the NASS. Legislation is the job of the NASS. The Constitution requires the INEC to fix the dates of elections and make necessary regulations for the conduct of elections within the ambit of the Electoral Act. The NASS has the sole constitutional right to make and amend the Act which it has done. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Proudlyngwa(m): 1:17pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
freeze001: So did the NASS make and amend any act, or did they arrange a sequence. The NASS is going beyond their jurisdiction by trying to do an executive work. Only INEC has that responsibility, if they are not comfortable let them amend the electoral act not set sequences. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Dhugal: 1:23pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa:The NASS just amended the Electoral Act to capture election sequence. This your post shows you didn't read nor comprehend the topic of discuss before jumping in to comment. |

Even without a court challenge, the President can withhold assent to the bill. There is no certainty in politics, that the presidential elections will come last is not a guarantee that Bubu will lose. In a democracy, the way disputes are resolved is through the court. if any party is aggrieved by the Federal High Court decision, there is the option of appeal. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Proudlyngwa(m): 1:56pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Dhugal: That is where you are getting it wrong INEC is the empowered to make electoral sequence not NASS. The commission, according to the source, would among others ask the court to determine who between it and the National Assembly has the power to determine the order of elections. He said INEC genuinely believes that the responsibility for determining the order of election is its sole prerogative and not that of the National Assembly. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Dhugal: 2:11pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa:The INEC is the sole authority,constitutionally,to appoint dates for election,but they do not have the power to determine election sequence. That is the forte of the NASS,which they've rightly done. Dates can only be appointed following a sequence, and that determined by the Electoral Act. BTW,that wasn't what your post which I quoted was talking about.Don't try to wriggle out of it by throwing up shiny objects. 1 Like |

You're wrong. You can't weaken the presidency because you change the order of election days. Delivering electoral promises is what streghten the presidency while non performance is what weaken Buhari chances of re-election. He has perform so bad that his chances of re-election get slimmer by the day hakimi1974: |

Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Proudlyngwa(m): 2:35pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Dhugal: You are the one twisting it , I quoted what the INEC said, that they believe they are they ones responsible for setting date not NASS which has been the premises of my argument. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Cityguy: 3:11pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Thought the inner caucus servant in chief said last week they were not fazed by the sequence and that it would not avail legislooters the presidential cover and blessing? How come they are.now having 'grand plans'? Any plan by enemies of the people shall fail by God's grace and they shall be disgraced back to their cocoons. What terrible set of sophisticated urchins! |

Haba I was once told that presdo is so popular in both far north and middle belt regions that votes from other regions are useless to him. Why is that a mere RE-ORDERING OF ELECTION SEQUENCE is raising dust in presdo's camp causing headache here and there? A popular person is always popular no matter what but this is not the case of presdo. |
Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Dhugal: 7:51pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa:INEC didn't say that,read the report again. That was the hope of a presidency official, in the hope to tie the implementation of the law in law courts till elections have come and gone. Again,setting dates of elections is different from ordering sequence of elections. Setting dates is the sole prerogative of INEC. Making laws ordering sequence of elections, timeframe of election petition and the like,is the sole prerogative of the National Assembly. Stop having the two confused. |
