Postponement Of The General Elections Is A Great Disappointment – Festus Keyamo by Bigmugu: 7:21am On Feb 16, 2019 |
The All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council have given their own reaction to the postponement of the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson of the APC campaign council aired his displeasure about the postponement. Read the statement released, “We have just received with great disappointment and disillusionment the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of its decision to postpone the Presidential/National Assembly and Gubernatorial/House of Assembly Elections to Saturday, February 23, 2019 and Saturday, March 9, 2019, respectively. We condemn and deprecate this tardiness of the electoral umpire in the strongest terms possible. President Muhammadu Buhari had since cooperated fully with INEC by ensuring EVERYTHING it demanded to conduct free and fair elections were promptly made available to it. This news is therefore a huge disappointment to us and to our teeming supporters nationwide and around the world, many of whom have come into the country to exercise their franchise. We do hope that INEC will remain neutral and impartial in this process as the rumor mill is agog with the suggestion that this postponement has been orchestrated in collusion with the main opposition, the PDP, that was NEVER ready for this election. We note that all the major credible demographic projections have predicted a defeat of the PDP and it seriously needed this breather to orchestrate more devious strategies to try and halt President Buhari’s momentum. It did the same as the ruling Party in 2015, when it realized the game was up, by orchestrating the postponement of the 2015 elections by six weeks. Now, it may be up to its old trick again. We have earlier raised the alarm that the PDP is bent on discrediting this process the moment it realized it cannot make up the numbers to win this election. We are only urging INEC not collude with the PDP on this. We are truly worried because as early as Friday morning, some known PDP Social Media influencers unwittingly announced this postponement, but quickly deleted the message and apologized to the public that it was fake news. We do not want to be forced to a situation of announcing our total loss of confidence in INEC, because we know where that would leave our democracy. It is in the light of the above that we wish to appeal to Nigerians and our supporters to be patient, calm and resolute despite this temporary setback. Let us not give anyone, especially the PDP, the opportunity to plunge this nation into a crises, which is what they earnestly desire. Its imminent defeat is just a few days away. Lastly, we wish to draw the attention of INEC and the world to observe that the PDP has clearly and openly said it plans to announce parallel results through some funny device it has procured or developed. We wish to re-iterate that it is ONLY INEC that is legally and constitutionally empowered to declare results and it constitutes an offence for anyone to do so. We urge INEC to SPEAK UP NOW and warn the PDP to desist from this ignoble act that is capable of plunging the nation into a crises of immeasurable proportions.” Gist via :- https://nairatrend.com.ng/postponement-of-the-general-elections-is-a-great-disappointment-festus-keyamo/ 20 Likes 4 Shares

. Yeye fowl!! You and your people were here online just hours ago claiming that it was the PDP that wanted a postponement and that APC is ready for polls. See Tolu's tweet below Shay na PDP dey remote control INEC. You have idiotically talked yourself into a corner.. Mehn... I don't envy you. Many of you will actually need Presidential pardons from the new government just to get by.. You have turned yourselves into accredited international and local pariahs. . 98 Likes 6 Shares

I am totally disappointed @inecnigeria. You had 4 years to plan an election only for your institution to cancel less than 5 hours to same. You took us for granted not considering the stress or impact of this decision. I do not care your reason for same, this is high incompetence. In a saner clime @inecnigeria Chairman will resign when disseminating such awful message. But Africans and lack of self worth, empathy, Irresponsibility, greed etc. Na die dem go die dere with their incompetence. What will happen to distributed sensitive material? No apologise. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Has anybody noticed that anything Keyamo is associated with always end inconclusive or outright failure... Here are few instances - his involvement in the fryo case in the murder of Bola Ige, a former AGF ended in futility - almost all his cases as a prosecuting officer for the EFCC ended without a conviction - his involvement in the Stephanie Otobo scandal against Apostle Suleiman ended in shame. Otobo beg Apostle Las las - his association with the Apc is already showing another sign of failure Guy is just all about noise and more noise, no substance 21 Likes 1 Share |
