The elections were postponed - Yes but there have been positives to it. Those who planned fraud never envisaged the postponment so they were quick off the blocks with their familiar antics. Violence, ballot snatching and the whatnots.

However, the one that interested me more was the antics of some INEC officials, who probably were working at the behest of RECs in affected States. There were instances of electoral officers unilaterally ordering youth corps members to abdicate their duties for unknown persons. Then in certain places in Imo State (this Imo State is getting hotter by the day), materials were deliberately withheld from some areas even when other places have received. It was a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise the electorate in that place, who are well known to be massively supporting one of the candidates. I have refused to name the candidate for fear of being termed partisan.

The fact is that the incidents last saturday shows that many of the RECs may have been compromised already and therefore needs to be changed. At least they should swapped between them across the States, with little time for any of them to build fresh rapport with desperate politicians in their new places of authority. The woman in Imo State deserves this treatment more than any other.
