You could go back in the annals of our political history and you’d be hard-pressed to find a leader more destructive, more callous, more provincial, more insensitive to our national values and the protective mechanisms to promote unity, than their beloved Buhari. You begin to ask yourself what diabolical spell was cast on these people that has turned them into jellies, zombies and prisoners to insanity. You also wonder why anyone sane enough to read, write and with a discerning mind can beat his chest and call himself, a Buharist. What does that even mean? Can anyone tell me? With all the manifest contradictions about him that we see everyday? The double standard in the fight against corruption? The insensitivity to daily bloodletting? Sometimes, you begin to doubt whether it is you (yourself) who has missed the way.

The topic and your comment are so so unrelated. In fact, I do not think you bothered to read anything that was mentioned in the entire story. Maybe you didn't even look at the topic

Some intend cooking rice for voters.
What if they had already contracted caterers who had perhaps parboiled the rice hoping to cook them before election starts the next day. All of a sudden, gboioiiin....dem don cancel the election.

Well, I advise that Hon Governor should take it as one of those losses Nigerians incurred due to election rescheduling.

Every one must have a story to tell in this.

I have already counted my own losses. Who do I ask for a refund?

There is uneasy calm in Niger State following directive by the state governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, to commissioners, asking them to immediately refund monies that were advanced to them to mobilise voters for last Saturday’s botched elections.

It was gathered that all commissioners and permanent secretaries were given an undisclosed amount of money ahead of last Saturday’s botched elections to enable them mobilise voters before it was postponed.

Although the commissioners and the permanent secretaries were said to have actually travelled to their respective constituencies for the election, and had expended the money for the purpose it was allocated, they were asked to go and retrieve the money since the election could not take place.

A source close to some of the commissioners told Daily Sun in Minna, yesterday, that they got a message from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, on Monday, requesting them to return the money.

“We got message, yesterday, that we should return the money that was given to us to mobilise voters for the elections, and we told them we had already given out the money before we heard about the postponement.

“But, they said we should go and retrieve the money from the people. Nobody will be ready to refund such money, in fact, nobody will listen to you. This Saturday, the same voters will be expecting another money from us. They’ve even told us that the money had been spent,” the source said.

Daily Sun gathered that the commissioners were seen making frantic efforts and making contact with each other, yesterday, on the way forward since they claimed to have utilised the funds.

When contacted on this latest development, the Media and Publicly Coordinator to the Governor, Mr. Jide Orintunsin, said it is a usual norm all over the world for political appointees to be mobilised ahead of elections, to go to their various constituencies to ensure victory for their party.

Orintunsin insisted there was nothing new about asking political appointees to go and woo the electorates to ensure victory for the party, stressing that “what I don’t know is asking them to refund the money given to them if there was any.

“In the first place, I’m not aware of any money that was given to political appointees to go and woo the people, not to talk of refund. But, remember they are expected to go back on Saturday to mobilise their people to ensure victory for the party.”

This one is serious bad market for the party. How will they retrieve the money people have spent? Coming Saturday is fresh money to voters since they have decided to be buying votes.

One good thing about this election postponement is that money already distributed for vote buying is nonrefundable. You have bring another one

You mean they couldn't postpone spending the money they got last week till this coming Saturday. It is a pity that those that collected money have no knowledge of what is called "INCONCLUSIVE SPENDING."
