Obviously your brain is dead.
How does Buhari and INEC work together?
The man even gave a speech on Thursday, telling all Nigerians to be law abiding during election.

This is just my point . The major problem is the timing. Mamood Yakubu is slow just like Buhari.
Both of them are abominations that causes desolation.

this postponement is not about INEC but about the FG and what they want, it's not a new thing that the FG controls all the institutions in the country, there is nothing like Independence any where. it was alledged in some quarters that The APC were planning to postpone the election few days ago, were you surprised by the incessant burnings of Election materials and killings? it was all orchestrated to give their plot a moral backing.
But this simply shows that our leaders do not think very well, election postponement rarely favours the incumbent
so don't blame INEC too much, Vote out incompetence

2015 elections was singlehandedly postponed by the sitting president .
Meanwhile ,This time it is INEC that postponed the elections . The president has no hand in it .
I know some fools will say otherwise , but if Buhari can dictate for INEC ,then he should have ordered them to put Rivers and Zamfara states APC on the ballot .
...here, you forgot this.

In 2011, election was cancelled on the day of election, some of us were already on the field conducting the exercise, some units even concluded voting before getting the information. Op you need to go check your history

Be fact based. OK. Rewind back to 2015 or beg google for assistant. You will find out that Jonathan summoned all the stakeholders. And the decision was an agreed decision. "Now, what the heck is logistic?" They want to make logistical arrangement to rig?

You cant afford to compare the 2. The only acceptable reason would have been security improvement as hinted by the international communities and not logistics as over 150 lives were lost yesterday cos of the election matters in Kaduna south, the pdp stronghold as orchestrated by elrufai thugs. The idiot wants to come back by force.. How much is the federal govt contribution to this election because the west donated a huge sum to them towards successful elections. This could have been enough to tackle any unforeseen logistical matters ahead of time. They were busy campaigning instead of focusing on successful
elections. I see inconclusive elections ahead which would spark violence and protests nationwide They have made us look like mumu in the eyes of the international observers who are already here. What pace are we now setting for Africa as a whole ? Why cancel election on the election day? Didn't they envisage there was going to be logistical issues? That's what happens when you grab power out of hatred and selfish ambition..

Next time do not say what you don't know! Kajuru is where El-Rufai's Deputy Gubernatorial candidate comes from! Kaduna South has Muslim areas! The victims of this gruesome crime were Fulani! Stop your nonsense conspiracy theories

2015 election was postponed by Jonathan and Dasuki not INEC cos INEC was seriously ready for the election.

2019 election was postponed by INEC and not Buhari cos Buhari and all the APC big weights including their supporters have all travelled to their various states and polling units for the election.
How was INEC READY in 2015? Jega admitted on the floor of NASS that one million PVCs were yet to be printed. And many more undistributed. I watched it live on Channels TV.
Never mind the strong push against Boko going on at the time to get more areas in Borno to vote.
A more discerning president should have foreseen the failure of INEC and take action. Far better if Buhari or INEC has postponed it a week or two earlier.
I know of a funeral and several weddings purposely slated for next Saturday due to election.

INEC is independent! Decision on whether to postpone or go ahead with elections should be that of INEC only! Govt's role is to ensure INEC have all she needs for the election.

Jega who is the person with the final say on election matters said he is ready to conduct elections and you an outsider says INEC was not ready.

Jega in his directive postponing the elections clearly stated that he was ready to hold elections but was virtually arm twisted by the Jonathan administration

Current State of INEC’s Preparedness
On Thursday, February 5, 2015, I was invited to brief the National Council of State, which is the highest advisory to the President comprising past and present leaders in Nigeria, on the level of preparedness of INEC to conduct the 2015 general elections.
I made a presentation to the Council titled ‘Preparations for the 2015 General Elections: Progress Report,’ in which I gave a detailed account of what the Commission has been doing in readiness for the national elections (National Assembly and Presidential) scheduled for February 14th, and the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) scheduled for February 28th, 2015.
The summary of my presentation to the National Council of State meeting is that, for matters under its control, INEC is substantially ready for the general elections as scheduled, despite discernible challenges being encountered with some of its processes like the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) by registered members of the public

In the delivery and deployment of electoral materials, INEC is also at a comfort level in its readiness for the general elections as scheduled (see the presentation to the Council of State). The Commission’s preparations are not yet perfect or fully accomplished. But our level of preparedness, despite a few challenges, is sufficient to conduct free, fair and credible elections as scheduled on February 14th and February 28th.

In 2015 election postponement was announced on the 7th of february saturday, a full week before the elections slated for 14 february.
The reasons were
*To improve the security situation in the country by battling the Boko Haram

*To allow space for more nigerians to collect their PVC's

In 2019 elections were postponed on the 16th of february on the day of the initial elections slated for the 16th of february. The reasons are
*Logistics!


Based on Logistics

And you truly believe this was an independent decision?
You are having a laugh, right? In this Nigeria? grin cheesy

NSA, APC stalwarts and cabals have the handiwork written all over it. The INEC guy was not appointed independently on merit. So he can do no poo of such magnitude independently.

Granted Buhari's dementia, he might not be fully aware of the dark arts going on around him.
