The Department of State Security Services, DSS has withdrawn its invitation to the National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in charge of logistics, Okechukwu Ibeanu.

It was earlier reported that Ibeanu alongside Chidi Nwafor, the director of ICT; Ken Ukeagu, director of procurement; Osaze Uzzi, director of voter education and publicity; and Bimbo Oladunjoye, the assistant director of ICT were asked to report at DSS offices in Abuja by 2 pm on Tuesday.

It's unclear why the agency would drop DSS its decision but sources hinted that some prominent Nigerians intervened because of the “timing”.

This invitation was initially believed to be related to the fiasco that led to the postponement of the general election by one week.

Mahmood Yakubu, a professor and INEC chairman, had blamed the postponement on sabotage and logistical issues.

Just earlier today they Denied ever inviting the man and now they are saying something else ...The Buhari govt is a govt of pathetic liars , thieves and Killers that mean no good for our collective interest

To Buhari: You are desperate. You don't know what you are doing. Nigerians trusted you, they campaigned for you and you failed woefully. We won't encourage failures. Your time has expired. Nigeria must work again. When you lose as its obvious you would, kindly make the call. If a single soul dies because of your mis-talk or action or inaction, you shall be hanged 24hours after your handover. We forgave you for the death of some corp members in 2011. We didn't forget and we won't forgive a repeat. Godspeed on your future career. Bye Baba..

Mtchewwwwwww

OK good

To INEC : If you want to postpone this election, do it between today and tomorrow. If you dare postpone it again on the morning of the election or a day to, we shall conclude you are not ready to conduct a free, fair and credible election and we shall form our own government without you...we shall appoint our President who shall get Nigeria working again.

Thanks.

So they are getting to learn that it's actually AVM Muazu that is incharge of logistics, hence the dropping of the charges.

Buhari is a bigot, a hypocrite, a thief and a tyrant.

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday inaugurated two ad hoc committees as part of its preparations for the 2019 general elections.

The two committees, Electoral Logistics and Collation Centre, were inaugurated by the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

The Electoral Logistics Committee is chaired by INEC National Commissioner,‎ Retired AVM Ahmed Mu’azu; with INEC Director of Stores as Secretary.



The committee on Results Collation is chaired by another National Commissioner, Amina Zakari and INEC Director, Commission’s Secretariat as Secretary.

While inaugurating the two committees, the INEC chairman said it was another step in the commission’s determination to ensure seamless preparations for the 2019 general elections.

Yakubu said that the Electoral Logistics Committee would be responsible for coordinating logistics, as well as the clearance and transportation of electoral materials to various locations nationwide.

“The first committee is responsible for electoral logistics. The commission is aware that the conduct of a general election is the biggest and most complex logistics operation a nation can undertake.

“Sensitive and non-sensitive materials procured by the commission must be delivered to almost 200,000 locations nationwide.

“Ranging from the polling units to the various wards, local governments, states and the national collation centres for the 1,558 constituencies into which elections will be conducted.

“At the end of the elections, sensitive materials will be retrieved from the same locations.

“The same process will be repeated for each of the two phases of the 2019 general elections.



“Namely the Presidential and National Assembly elections holding on Feb. 16 and the Governorship, State Assembly and Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory on March 2,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that the Committee on National Collation Centre, which was entirely internal to the commission, would be responsible for the national collation centre from where results of the Presidential election would be announced.

“As was the case in 2015, the commission will use the International Conference Centre in Abuja.

“Already, the management of the ICC has approved the commission’s request to once again use the venue in 2019.

“It will serve as the secretariat for collation of results and venue for briefing of international observers and the media.

“It will also be accessible to agents of the 73 political parties fielding candidates in the presidential election.

“Facilities such as power, access to the internet, live transmission for national and international media as well as accreditation for access to the ICC and security of the venue shall be handled by the committee,” he said.

Yakubu assured Nigerians that “the commission is on course to deliver credible elections in 2019’’.

He also noted that the commission would meet with the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Friday at 4 p.m. in Abuja, to discuss the ongoing strike by the union, only in relation to the INEC preparations for the general elections.

“We are concerned that the bulk of critical election duty staff are drawn from the universities. We are determined to ensure that the processes are not affected by the union’s industrial action.

“ASUU is a critical partner to the commission in delivering credible elections. We look forward to the meeting and we are confident of a positive outcome,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that INEC had contacted the Nigeria Labour Congress as the commission was already in partnership with one of its affiliate unions, the National Union of Road Transport Workers.

“The Commission plans to meet with the NLC next week,’’ he said.

The INEC boss also listed members of the Logistics Committee to include National Commissioners Mr. Abubakar Lamuche and Malam Muhammed Haruna, the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force.

It also include the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, the INEC Director, Electoral Operations ‎and Logistics Department, INEC Director of Estate Works and Transport, and INEC‎ Director of Procurement.

Responding, the Chairman of the Electoral Logistics Committee, Mu’azu, pledged that they would deliver the responsibilities with all sense of diligence.

“The committee will do whatever needs to be done to guarantee a seamless delivery of men and materials to the right place at the right time and in the right quantity and of course, guarantee retrieval of same after the two elections.

“I want to also assure you that we appreciate and very clear in our minds the gravity of what is on our hands. Therefore, we shall hit the ground running,” he said.

This is the reason AtiKu proceeded to court. Why is buhari using Dss to invite inec commissioner?


What do they want?

.


Silly people

APC IS A PLAGUE


.

All ZOMBs want to do is sway right thinking Nigerians from dropping buhari that has become too much of a load to bear.
Imagine these buhari media crew (bmc) urchins have turned atiku to ipod member
He was in apc all these while he wasn't an ipad member. The moment he dropped the useless dirty corruption ridden party. Gbam they tagged him ipod .
I will refrain from referring to these bmc urchins as zombies.
Because today is the Lords day. However they must know that Nigerians do not care if they call atiku ipob or ipad
Nigerians do not care if they call PdP ipob or ipad.
The only thing Right thinking Nigerians care about is progress. Good economy, security, right to walk on the street without SARS shooting you. All these buhari has not been able to do.
Mr buhari came to power through his alleged anti corruption tag, which Nigerians have come to see as scam
Buahri is corrupt yes he is. If not we would have seen thieves in govt falling down like flies ranging from babachir lawal through kyari that took 500,000000 from the sacked mtn lady to Maina the old thief that ran away and resurfaced in buhari-s regime, . He lacks balls and will to rule a diverse country like Nigeria, his utterances has convinced everyone of such.
Let the Bmc urchins creat threads from dawn till dusk. Let them recruit every scum they can find. It doesn't matter.
They say atiku is a thief, they say he is corrupt .
The same people saying this once said buhari the coruption czar is not corrupt. Let them wail o

DSS dey fear face

Dss is now a cheap tool in the illiterate and APC hands

Right decision but at a wrong time. Let's take it back.

Not prominent Nigerians, the EU and US are watching the Government closely.

There are certain things you shouldn't dare do during this period or if anything goes wrong with the elections, the president will be in for it.

All those ignorant APC supporters that were hailing the DSS' actions should also gather here. You think your president is a match for these world powers?

Venezuela should be an example of what can happen if your government loses credibility in the eyes of the international community.

They are now running from pillar to post. And where the strength of PMB is always made manifest is when it involves a southerner.....

BABA IS A DEMOCRAT, IS THE USELESS CABALS AROUND HIM THAT ARE MISLEADING HIM

Buhari is useless. He is intimidating everyone with security agencies because he knows he is going back to Daura

Which are we going to believe now?

It seems like politicsngr don dey confused

I am 100% sure that Atiku is winning this election. The handwriting is already on the wall. The present Inec chairman is more honest than Jega and he is refusing to dance to the APC VUVUZELAS tune now. No wonder there is confusion among APC camp and apologists.

I just dey laff all this people supporting buhari's statement, una go suffer. They never give army licence to kill dem dey kill innocent people not to talk of now, I just dey laff. My only prayer is " God please any innocent person that will be killed all because of this so called ballot box snatching, let it be a supporter of the statement from the president" Amen.

H

Oshiomole needs to be careful. I listened to him asking the President to investigate the postponement. It is ridiculous and a clear move to intimidate INEC. Nigerians might have no knowledge why INEC postponed the election. However, I believe it’s within their constitutional right to do so if they feel it’s necessary

but the dss ealier denied this....hahahaha
this cupp is really exposing buhari and his plans.
apc must be hating the cupp now....chaiii
am beginning to believe the elections will be postponed again...
no sane and patriotic Nigerian will vote for buhari...
osho was just ranting ...tinubu too...everything planned.
Bleep apc Bleep buhari and Bleep anyone riding with them and if you will vote for buhari, then Bleep you too!
am sick of these people mehn

Yet these idiots in the APC-infested DSS were denying in the characteristic dubious nature that the INEC REC was never invited for questioning?

Thunder fire buhari

When some alarms is been raised some idiots say na fake news
