Election Postponement: INEC Excuses Don't Add Up by Naijiant: 5:02pm On Feb 16, 2019
Nigeria was scheduled to hold its presidential and national assembly (s)elections today and the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) waited until literally the last minute, in the early hours of this morning, to conclude that the voting will be put back by a week.

It was the same story four years ago when another election was postponed officially for lack of preparedness.

But at least then it wasn’t left to the last minute before once again, Nigeria was turned into a laughing stock all over the world. History is repeating itself once more in Nigeria. Like Karl Marx said, history repeats itself “the first as tragedy, then as farce”.

Once again, the official reasons for this farce of humongous proportions are around “logistical” problems in a vast country riven with insecurity. But this official line doesn’t hold water. INEC has been running elections, with varying degrees of failure, since 1999. Under current management, they have had four years to plan for today. They have even had state elections and by-elections within the last four years to game-plan for today. Money is no object for INEC, with a budget running in billions of naira and the security agencies at their disposal. So they had the means to deliver on schedule.
