This is one reason I'll be always be angry with Mahmood Yakubu for postponing the elections. Yesterday, we(Sane Nigerians) would've shown President Muhammadu Buhari that we appreciate the slow but steady progress he has made in repositioning the country and we would've given him 4 more years to continue in the path of slow but steady repositioning of the nation. Also, we would have used the opportunity to show to Atiku and PDP that we ain't fools and ain't ready to return to an era where funds meant for such projects are diverted to private pockets. Well, 23rd is just around the corner and I know the message will still be loudly and clearly announced to Atiku and his theiving crew

This Wizkid is now really matured. As for that Davido, someone should tell him how being openly partisan can negatively affect his business. Thing is, showbiz is business and non partisanship will only make u have more clients. I can't imagine Davido being invited to perform for any Top APC chieftain...... Kudos to Tubaba and other sensible artistes who stayed outta d murky waters of politics

Hehehe.... But INEC really fall hands sha. Like, why not announce this postponement since?..... Even on Friday, they were still assuring us. Well, soon enough, 23rd will be here and all these noise makers will be shown their place..... My advice to awon wailers: Start buying airtime to call US, UK, EU, UN, AU, ECOWAS, CAF, English FA, UEFA, FIFA, NFF, MEND, MURIC, CAN, IPOB.... Cause your kleptocrat of international repute CANNOT unseat Baba Oni Maalu

The National Chairman said that the events
leading to the postponement could not have come to both the President and the INEC as a
surprise given that the president's
controversial niece Amina Zakari was the
Chairperson of the Electoral operations and
Logistics Committee possibly to ensure that
the desired agenda is exceuted. Can you just see how pathetic this PDP is and how far they're ready to go in spreading disinformation? The chairperson of the Electoral and logistics commitee isn't Amina Zakari..... PDP stop spinning facts for personal gains. A deep analysis of this election postponement will reveal that PDP's constant and senseless wailing is the reason why someone who has been in charge of the logistics commitee for a considerable period of time was substituted for a neophyte in logistics matters few months to a crucial general election. Well, INEC only shifted PDP's final burial by one week.... Infact na 6days remain now

Mtcheew. This Obasanjo is a personification of all that's wrong with Nigeria. This idiot had the chance to set a model of a perfect democracy but he rather choosed to establish a Ghana Must Go style of democracy. His legacy is tainted and his do or die style of politics belong to the dark annals of this country. Obasanjo's handling of the 2003 and 2007 general elections is enough to make him hide his face from the public for all of his life. But instead of that, he's everywhere strutting and forming elder statesman. Elder statesman kill am dia!!! This guy has never and shall never do anything in the national interest. All he has ever cared about is Olusegun Obasanjo and Olusegun Obasanjo alone. It saddens me that the day of his final demystification has been postponed.... Well, it was only postponed and not cancelled. 23rd will soon be here

Imagine awarding a contract to an individual who gave an Expected date of delivery and received every form of support necessary to deliver the project as at when due, and upon enquiries about the state of the project, Mr. Contractor would always assure of delivery at the agreed date..... And then few hours to me taking delivery of the project, I start hearing that the project has to be delayed because of logistics. Didn't u know logistical issues will come up while u were giving us assurances days back? This Man should just resign and make sure his face is never seen again

What Nerve! INEC were given all support it needs for the elections. Over 180 Billion Naira was budgeted and released to Mahmud Yakubu to ensure that the elections were properly conducted. INEC decided to fix February 16 for the Elections. INEC had all of January to tell us they weren't ready. INEC had all of the past 10 days to announce postponement. They even had all of yesterday. Why wait till 5 hours before announcing postponement? Craziest part is them blaming it on Logistics. What logistics? These guys had 4 years to get all logistics in place. People travelled thousands of kilometres to vote. Schools and Markets were closed, businesses were closed, and events were planned with February 16th on mind and these Incompetent bufoons had d nerve to change dates 5 HOURS to elections and they blame on logistics? Logistics equals Incompetence and Millions of Nigerians are paying for the incompetence of Prof Yakubu and his team..... If they'd blamed it on security reports of politicians getting hold of sensitive materials, that woulda been a little bit more easy to stomach. Logistics? And it's till 5 hours to d elections before the logistical issues reared their heads? This guy and d country as a whole is a joke

Mmmm. For election violence matter, fear Delta and Rivers state

yrex01:
they even beg MURIC to come to der rescue n save d democracy. LWKMD. bro u get bad mouth

Ah! Bros, so u know who? Well, I no call person name o

February 16th is a coupla hours away. By 18th, You know who will cry to UK, EU, US, UN, AU, ECOWAS, IPOB, MEND, MASSOB, FIFA, UEFA, ENGLISH FA, CAF, NFF, etc. But las las, their cries no go change the outcome...... I no call person name so o

Joshmodest:
The result of the election would be accepted if PDP wins ....if not they rigged it ...and credible voters and well meaning Nigerians...would not even struggle to accept , we will totally reject it .....

So, anything other than a PDP victory equals a rigged election ba?

Particularly PDP.... Their constant wailing and casting of aspercions in the electoral process will make it really hard for them to accept a negative result. Having said that, I have the belief that INEC and President Muhammadu Buhari will build on the gains of the 2015 elections...... I expect a free, fair and credible election

SouthEastFacts:
We trust him more than Buhari

You mean the zone with the least number of registered voters? Or you saying the zone where Ohamadike's boycott order will have an impact on the number of persons who'll vote? Ogbeni, You can trust Atiku all u want..... Ur votes are inconsequential

Lol.... Influential politician that can't win ordinary primary election. As this man mouth big, na so rubbish dey spew out without control. Kwankwaso that couldn't win a 2nd term as Incumbent governor against a Buhari candidate is now their new bride. Atiku too get votes for Kano na 30 percent

angelawoko:
Not sure about Ogun. It is now a battleground because of Amosun's greed and willingness to impose a Muslim Candidate.

I said Ogun cause PDP is in disarray

Commendable..... And may their souls rest in peace. But a real condolence visit shouldn't be to the governor and an emir. Rather, they should have visited the families of the dead, condole with them and tho no amount of money can substitute for a life, give some amount of money to d families and scholarships to at least one member of each families of d deceased

The crises plaguing the APC in Zamfara and Rivers states provides an insight into the selfcentredness and childlishness of an average Nigerian politician. If not for selfcentredness, why can't the contending parties come together and reach a compromise? There're enough positions to go round everybody but nah! They'd rather the party not present a candidate than for them to make some concessions. Be that as it may, Zamfara is for Muhammadu Buhari..... And that's my only concern

The peace accord is an exercise in Futility. With PDP's current posture of any election result that goes against them being rigged and all their whines since the start of the electioneering campaigns, I'm not too sure the peace accord will hold

Buhari- Katsina, Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Kano, Ogun,

Atiku vs Buhari is like Huddersfield vs Barcelona(Pep's Barcelona)...... Saturday can't come early enough. All this online noise is tiresome

Abeg Saturday should come already. I'm tired of all this election wahala.... One thing i sha know is that anytime of the day, I'll pick an incorruptible ex dictator over a kleptocrat of international repute. Bia, all of you in the Atiku bandwagon, biko tell me..... Do you trust Atiku Abubakar?

Saturday can't come soon enough.... I'm sick and tired of all these people who think election are about likes and shares....... Or campaign crowds. Like which presidential candidate of a major political party(With all the human and material resources) wouldn't be able to fill up a 60,000 capacity stadium? Can't honestly wait for Saturday sha

Omo see title. Kleptocrat of international repute. Hahahaha..... Atiku don suffer sha. I will always say it; No matter what Atiku does, the corrupt perception will always hang on his neck...... Buhari might not have gotten it 100 percent right but who's better between an incoruptible man who has made some significant changes with limited resources and a kleptocrat of international repute who would most probably have used the available resources in a kleptocratic manner? I leave the choice to u my fellow Nigerians

This man too talk.... But wait o! Na so Atiku come dey politically useless reach? I disagree with Rochas sha.... Atiku go trounce am for Adamawa

yomi962:
keyboard warrior forming politicians on nairaland. I have been to benin several times, so you can take your predictions and shove it in your arse

And Benin city equals Edo state abi? Olodo somebody. Apart from Edo central(Esan land), PDP is structurally weak in Edo state. Well, what do u know? Next week will tell u more

yomi962:
former youth leader dumbo. I know you are in sifia pains

Are you from Edo state? Have you ever been to the state? If you haven't, then I advise u to shut your mouth and go play with sand

I just dey laugh all these people saying Atiku will win Edo state

Thank you OP. This is a very well written and thought out post.... Oluwa bless you plenty. However, ur post doesn't answer some questions I have about your candidate Atiku. First of these is: Is Atiku corrupt? Secondly, Atiku has been tested as a vice to Obasanjo. What are his records? Vis a vis the responsibilities he was given as a Vice President..... Thirdly, what are his plans for Nigeria?(Indepth breakdown of these plans).... Or are you telling me to vote Atiku just for voting sake?

This Dele Momodu sha knows how to use sweet mouth to dagbo somebody.... Well, you have one more week to whine Atiku and collect all u can from him. Las las, we know say even ur polling unit u no go fit win on 16th. Just give Atiku hope, collect some dollars and move to the next maga

He'll lose all the states of the federation. Infact, he won't win his own polling unit. Oya, awon wailers are you happy? I just shake my head whenever I see such. Well, 7 days hence, d chickens will come to roost

And I believe a rigged election is one u fail to win abi? PDP reeks of desperation right now. Seems having seen the handwriting on the wall, they'd rather cast aspercions on the elections by their incessant wailing than chin up and face the battle head on. Buhari will win in a free and fair poll and Nothing, absolutely Nothing will happen

Where's Jimi Agbaje?
