Two Major Events In The Week Which Led To The Postponement Of The Elections. by Teacher1776(m): 4:16pm On Feb 16, 2019
Barely 5 hours to the purported commencement of the 2019 GEneral Elections, the chairman of INEC, rising from a crucial meeting announced the postponement of the elections by a week. No one saw this coming. Inec had been previously assuring nigerians that everything was working according to plan.
From all indications, there are no legitimate reasons for postponement. Professor Yakubu was obviously under intense pressure to effect the postponement. Two major events during the week may not be unconnected with the reason behind the postponement.
Firstly, the interception of the almost one million already thumbprinted ballot papers in Kano. No matter what explanation anyone may release, we know that INEC is already compromised. APC is also aware that three rigging machinery has been exposed. They need some time to fashion out another strategy. Kano votes are important. Lagos votes are important. Not just winning there, but on a grand scale. Create chaos in few PDP strong hold, pretend to conduct free and fair in south south and south east and bingo! Buhari is declared winner. MAGIC! But that won't happen if the elections were to go on as planned.
A second and undeniable reason which made APC to compell INEC is the declaration by the self-styled leader of IPOB, mazi Kanu that they would nolonger boycot the polls. What this implies is that majority of the south Easterners who would have been scared to come out to vote would now come out, realising there won't be threat to their like.s APC didn't take this piece of news with joy at all. Instead, most APC social media minions were filled with abuses and insults for Mazi Kanu. They had really hoped IPOB would disrupt south east elections, an area which is a major stronghold of PDP. They didn't see this coming. They were rattled. Defeat is imminently starring them on the face. They needed sometime to consider ways of disrupting the south east votes.
*Note- most apc supporters did not condemn the postponement. They even abuse those condemning it. Rather than consider inec an independent umpire, they consider it an organ of the apc. And they are quick to point out that gej did similar thing in 2015. But truth is Jega did not postpone 2015 polls just five hours from election.

Crying rants of a pig.

Oshiomole with his looks is greater than your entire generations past, present and future.

No wonder you are so bitter. 4 more years of penury for your deadbeat father

But those pigs are buying up all our ancestral lands in lagos. They are pushing we the owners inside the lagoon.
