infogenius:


Reasons given for postponement

Neoteny:


There you have it

The solution is to leave to go pollute the population of another country where the people made it work.

Is there a law to back up this your assertion? Is there a law that mandate INEC to seek approval from the president before postponing elections or any other of its functions?

Jega initially refuse to postpone the 2015 elections and had to be summoned by the FEC and national assembly before he agreed to postpone.

RTSC:
It only shows one thing.

Nigeria have gone backward from where we were in 2015.

[s]Nothing is as disheartening as when one does not know anything and choose to display his or her ignorance with impunity. For the records 2015 elections was not postponed to allow more people collect their PVC. INEC then headed by Atahiru Jega continuously stated the commission's readiness to go ahead with the elections even in a meeting the then President (GEJ) had with Jega and his Service chiefs on the eve three days to the elections , he maintained that the commission was ready for the election. The argument continued to a point that the IG of Police and the then security adviser threatened that if he went ahead to conduct the elections, they will not guarantee the security of voter. That was why the elections was shifted. However I know most of you attacking PMB and even mis informing Nigerians just to have your way are beneficiaries of free money when PDP was in power. And since it no longer coming everything must be done to destroy whatever may be a hindrance to having assess to that. Christians all over Nigeria have become endangeared species in ur effort to discredit PMB and incite Christians against him. When Benue state governor was planning to leave his party, he instigated crises b/w farmers and herdsmen and the moment he changes party, the killing stopped. Keep the killings going on, keep the misinformation going on, keep on the fake news, keep the lies going on, at the end of the day God Must surely vindicate his chosen one. Sai Baba[/s]!

Won't it be better to argue based on facts?

Everything you've said is massive conjecture, supposition, fallacies, falsehood, lies, rumors, and slander.

No one would take you serious, and you don't win arguments with bullshiit

PythonDancer:
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 .

ajepako:
The common factor?

Both initiator of the postponement lost..

Woefully!

MacLovington:

Lol. And you're the head of CIA that knows everything.

In Nigeria rumours have more truth in them than official party political dribbling they feed us.

By early morning yesterday, I heard rumours that elections will be postponed totally or in some states. They even used alleged Kaduna shooting as one of the excuses lined up. If I had posted the info here, Seun & his mod goons would have banned me.

I and my friends even dismissed the rumours.

And what happened last night? Exactly that.

As a possible indomie kid, you might not know.

We had rumours about Buhari's coup long before 1983 coup against Shagari. Most people dismissed it. I grew up surrounded by investigative journalists. What I knew as a little kid about Buhari, many people will never know lifelong.
And he later struck.

I still laugh at people who claim Buhari didn't know about the coup.

Neoteny:


People like you who make all sorts of claims about inside information turn out to be the greatest liars, like FFK.

For 3 consecutive elections there's been postponement, so concluding that any election would be postponed has a higher probability of turning out to be true; doesn't require any cosmic powers or "investigative journalists".

You're not especially smart for guessing a likelihood. All kinds of rumors swirl, some will hit and some will miss as per the law of averages.

olujastro:
I know this decision by INEC is very disappointing to all and sundry, but for Atikulooters this is another opportunity to attack the president and his party for INEC's failure.

When the APC is affected by INEC's decisions against it, democracy is working and INEC is independent.
But when an independent INEC fails in its responsibility despite being given all they asked for, Mr President and the APC are endangering democracy
More shame on Atikulooters than on INEC.

This election postponement has shown that lots of Nigerians are far more emotional beings than rational.
