FROM AN INEC INSIDER

Easy for you to say. Maybe because you have never received death threats before, I have and I would not be quick to say stuff like that .
Fine, there was some logistics malfunction, whose fault? For me and my colleagues we will forever curse NASS for delaying and cutting down our budget. All these loop holes ARE because of that. As far back as January when THE CVR exercise started we had submitted our budget proposal of what we needed to do. What happened? There was outcry on why Inec would be given such amount of money. Blah blah blah. To cut the long story short, we told them we need the money to procure our materials, did they give us? Hell no! So what should we do afterall Inec is not a revenue generating commission like NNPC so we had to wait. The NASS were just bothered about the budget padding exposure and since they could not get what they wanted delayed the budget till October before approval November. We had barely two months to put things but We still tried our best. From November till now none of had a holiday or even went on one, all leaves in December were cancelled because we had to keep with the deadline so as not to disappoint Nigerians who as usual always look for whom to blame for even having headache. Now they are protesting the elections has been postponed for just a week, like seriously! Why didn't Nigerians protest when the budget was delayed? My Chairman was in a fix, but because it is an old commission with an old foundation, we knew we had to deliver. Ok after everything what next, we requested for support in delivery, the same Nigerians protested against it saying we want to work with the military in transporting materials. Blah blah. In our budget provisions were made for speed boats and helicopters but no...... The same Nigerians will question why Inec needs the money. Blah blah . Let go to security. The same Nigerians will say they want to know when we transport the sensitive materials and they are the same ones that will attack my colleagues and I when doing it. Ok. You are angry that your day is spoilt, I was up 3am sorting materials making sure that they will get to their destination. I can't Remember when last I slept for 6 hours. All my Sundays have been taken and you are angry for a week extension. With all this stress how much am i paid? I know it is not 13.5 million compared to what a law maker is earning for sitting on a chair. Have you ever sat on a canoe for 4 hrs just to transport materials from one creek to another in places that are waterlogged? No. Have you ever climbed a donkey in Mambilla just to transport materials over the hills? No . I Have. So I tell you that you cannot be more frustrated than I, but because it is my job I respect the decision extract made by the head office done by our chairman and 12 national commissioners represent each zone in the country. You do not what we go through to see how this exercise is carried which is why when some of you blab on the social media, I just shake my head and lose respect. Thank God now Nigerians have seen what last minute approvals can do to their well being. What goes around, always come around? It is a chain of events. They delayed the budget out of anger so why are they angry tha the elections are delayed. My dear I too need to catch up on my beauty sleep. 8 really need it. Till next week Saturday. Chao!

Mr. Oga, you guys had four years. You waited till the penultimate year to present your budget in a country that you were born and brought up in and have lived in till date and knlow about the workings and m-o of the nass.

Simply accept the blame, apologise and learn from this collossal blunder, please.

Awol1:
High time you endorsed Atiku sir.

Shalom

Hell NO.
He hates Athiefwku and the pdp more than Buhari.
Endorsement doesn't mean Jack anyway.

Buhari and Osibanjo for the NEXT LEVEL.


PMB till 2023

Nicely said Donald Duke..

Duke is confused.

You not considerate
Even if he sure he will not win but he paid for ticket and some other things

Iamgrey5:
So it was not a coup when inec refused to recognize the APC candidates for Rivers and Nasarawa elections.

So it was not a coup when PDP forced Inec to move a long time member of inec because of undue pressure from PDP


FYI, Mr Donald Duke the main opposition are decent stakeholders in the current political dispensation with the Legislature and sizable number of states firmly under their control.

Hence, raising funds to mobilize people across the nation shouldn't be a problem.

Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Soyiga:
You not considerate
Even if he sure he will not win but he paid for ticket and some other things

So Inec should have conducted the election anyways even if there were real concerns because it will be a blow to Mr Duke's pocket if they refused to do so.


How considirate of Mr Duke !

Feranchek:


Dude is a big scam. I nerve knew he was even contesting until last month! Na to dey do fine boy kaakiri, dey palm hair like Christ Embassy pastor him sabi. Useless pomo head Donald Duke.

Donald Duke is more than qualified to lead Nigeria out of this mess,his achievement in CRS speaks volume, who new about Cross River state before his administration,he made CRS a tourist destination in Nigeria, very deep thinker,eloquent and does not need written speech to address the public, I agree his chances of winning 2019 polls may be slim but as a GOODNigerian he has made an attempt.

Not just a coup but also a possible prelude to a duplicate version of June 12. But God pass them.

Kagawa10:
The most overhyped presidential candidate ever. I thought he was going to stand toe to toe with the likes of Sowore, Hashim etc but alas... Yeye.

Na wa for you!
Were you not in this country wen the court halted his ambition exactly the same period political parties were allowed to begin their campaigns?
Everybody went into vigorous campaign in his absence and the higher court just recently ruled in his favour.
How he won take cover lost ground?
Before then,he was one of the most active campaigner on social media with sponsored ads.
The verdict was he should stop parading himself as SDP presidential candidate with immediate effect.
Bros if na you sef you go weak.

Viscousfluid223:
Hmmm Donald duke could be saying the truth

Check my signature to migrate to Canada

never, it planned already. APC is behind it

My people, my people in the house. I am referring to those that think constructively, not those who lack the ability to comprehend, a mere half page of script.
Pls, let us compare notes and see how these people on the side other side have improverish us with their 16years of misrule. And because we refuse to buy into their myopic analyses, we have been, variously & unfortunately for them, categorised and called us undignified names. Of course, like courageous soldiers we have marched-on and at each milestone we drew your attention to their failure. That again grew their anger. In any case, we are not bothered. I have never seen a group of self-conceited characters such as these. Not prepared to grow in knowledge. Papa Awo said ....they are dead, bury them. For me, l do not think it is the right thing to do. Let us consign them to one section of the "big farm".
Read this comparative analysis? This is strictly for the "progressive minds" in the house only. Those of the "wailing" class your input is not needed.

PDP CREATED POVERTY.

This comparative analysis below is important to common man...who are the majority voters in 2019 elections.

1. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of rice was N11,500 but they took over when it was N2,500.

2. They said when Buhari took over from them one litre of petrol was N87 but they took over when it was N11.

3. They said when Buhari took over from them one dollar was N235 but they took over when it was N20.

4. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of cement was N2,000 but they took over when it was N400.

Analysis between APC and PDP government of 16 years and 3 and half years.

ON MAJOR COMMODITIES.

Rice.
APC N15,000-N11,500 = N4,500
PDP N11,500-N2,500 = N9,000

Petrol.
APC N145-N87 = N58
PDP N87-N20 = N76

US Dollar.
APC N360-N235 = N125
PDP N235-N20 = N215

Cement.
APC N2,500-N2,000 = N500
PDP N2,000-N400 = N1,600

Who then created poverty and hunger in the land?

Spread it all to everyone out there on the street.

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) Presidential Candidate, Mr Donald Etim Duke has described the postponement of the presidential election scheduled for Saturday, February 16th as a coup against Nigeria.

Speaking with newsmen in his resident in Calabar, Duke regretted the postponement, saying that the postponement was a national embarrassment and disgrace.

“The folks have come all over the world to observe and monitor our elections, Nigerians have travelled length and breadth to go and participate in the civic responsibilities, all of the sudden, our so-called Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) postponed the elections, it is totally unheard of.

“You don’t postpone election like that, not even a week before the elections but four hours. Now, if you are a participant in this election, you have your agents spread throughout the length and breadth of this country, you financially empowered them because they are going to take money for accommodation, feedings and all sort of things, then last minutes, this happened, all that money is wasted, you got to start all over again.

“It is a trick, well scripted and it has been taken to the next level, this trick was to breed the opposition financially, PDP started this nonsense but this government has taken it to the next level, theirs was a week before the election but this guy has taken it to four hours into the election.

“We all know that the government in power has unlimited access to finance but the opposition does not, so by the time you get to election day, the opposition would be exhausted or barely able to go through the process again, they have only one week to raise funds, you are not talking about pittance here, we are talking about millions and billions of naira because we are talking about National elections” he said.


Mr Duke said, “It is impossible for INEC to do this without consultation with government, usually; government can even instigate them to do this for one reason or the other. It is sad, I just imagine, the way the rest of the world will look at us.

“There is nowhere that INEC could postpone the election without collaboration with the federation. The action was an international disgrace, we are a nation so compromised, our sycophancy has taken another form, we don’t speak the truth to power that be” he stated.

He attributed the postponement to the incompetence of the National Chairman, “People have travelled the bad road, security is questionable, all sort of things have happened, yet elections was postponed.


“INEC had four years to conduct election, they know that every four years, they have to conduct election, nothing new, they know this, they started asking for money last year, that is stupid, you waited to the last moment, they have no excuse whatsoever, if they can’t move the materials, there is aeroplane or helicopter, this is 21st century for goodness.

“This is where we find ourselves, regardless how well the election will be conducted, next week, if it happened at all, the result will not be accepted by all, because it has already been contaminated; if those that were smooth were not accepted then imagine what this will be.

On the outburst of Kaduna state governor regarding body bags, Mr Duke said, “Kaduna State Governor’s comment was a loose talk and that should not have come from the State Chief Executive and high ranking member of APC, he is a great friend of mine but he gets too emotional in his speech, he needs to be more cultured when addressing issues of those nature,” he said.

Some sense in those statement

Nonsense

Oga why did u even leave PDP in the first place? U are simply jumping from lamplighter to obscurity...

We need not blame INEC Yakubu, it is the sudden coup by the cabals that is ruling us that postponed the election on gun point at Yakubu at 2am, Shikena.

Trash from a biased man...

LONGPREEK:
Nigerians are just too stupid and useless. Please let atiku or Buhari win so they can suffer more. Idiots deserve to suffer. How can u leave young and vibrant candidates like Donald duke , fela durotoye and sowore and be screaming atikulated and sai baba every where. What did atiku do as vice president. Is he not the same guy that spent naija money on advanced female oloshos like these Nolly wood female celebs. Is he not the same guy that bleeped and tore asses and compensated them with good cash?
You think he will come back and not tear more. This guy used our money to organize orgies and wild sex parties. Invited top international pornstars while u idiots suffered. This is th3 same guy that went to build an international standard university while all nigerian univerisities where in strike. I can go on an on.
As regards Buhari. This dude has been president 2 times , what did he do to stand out from the others?
Now let's talk of Donald duke. He was was just a governor of a state and he used that time to put naija on the world map. It's Donald duke that made most illitrate whites know that there was a place like nigeria. He is one of the guys that made the international community see nigeria as a tourist nation. Not knowing that the tourism was centered in a small state called cross river state. If as a gov. He could put nigeria in the world map as a result of the carnival, ogbudu mountain resort which still generates billions for naija even after he left and to tinapa. Don't you think he will do more if he is president?
On the other hand why even invite old thieves back. Instead of same old thieves, let new thieves come in. If naija is created to be looted, let the looting go round. Not same looters to keep looting. That's if the new guys are coming to steal.
Well na una go still suffer am. Some of us don't depend on the govt to survive. Personally, the worst the economy gets, the more I make money. Personally if I am to vote I Will still vote Buhari cos I see him destroying the economy more. The fact that he once made dollar to hit about 500 Naira is enough for me to vote him back. I know how much I benefited from that rise And I see him doing it again soon.

My dear you talk like this cos you do not. Those people you mentioned could have been the best. But truth be told they are campaigning for Buhari. If you have being following the news, that if fela broke out months ago. For Apc the strategy is vote APC or split the votes. Parties like ANN, YPP and Sowore are funded by APC. You don'the need to go too deep to know. Just come in contact with any party member of these parties; instead of talking about their candidate they talk about Buhari and the good things he has in store. When I hear them speak I begin to wonder if these are same people interested in changing the government. Madam due process obi Ezekwesili realised she was going to be used like in the days of bring back our girls, she stepped down. After she stepped down, what did her party do? They adopted Buhari as their candidate. Then you ask yourself again "are these people serious about changing his government?"

supereagle:

He can't deliver his unit for Atiku, 90% of Igbo votes can't deliver Atiku.

Their votes plus + 89% of SS votes + 75% of Middle belt votes + + 60% of SW + 65% of Atiku's NE+ 50% of NW is what is on ground to deliver for Atiku against your Tyrant of Daura.

Zombierudeen, You know it, you can feel it in the air that your dullard will be bundled back to Daura few days. Get your sniper ready.

So when primaries are not conducted and/or candidates are not forwarded to Inec within the time stipulated by law, Inec should bed the rules because its almighty APC?

So what has that got to do with a last minute postponement of a national election? Hundreds of millions of money was thrown away yesterday.

Shame on you for saying this situation is normal.

So when the election umpire realizes that there are serious bottlenecks hindering the election process, they shouldn't postpone the election to sort things out.

Shame on you to think there's something sinister going on after inec had proven to be truly independent in the last few weeks leading to the election.
