Why are APC kicking? I thought Tinubu wants to win his re-election based off the popularity of the State governors and tie his destiny to theirs?. Isn't that why he's actively courting all governors into his camp. Bitter lessons will be learnt in 2027. LP would have been governing Lagos today if this was done in 2023.

You would be shocked that APC tinubu will clear everything at once.

helinues:
That can never work. It would be too congested.

Like the president, Senate, HOR, HOS , governor, LG chairmen and councillor election to be conducted in one day? Sense far from that

LG & Councillorship elections are not conducted by INEC.

They don't need to hold same day.

helinues:
Leave funding out of this, think about the logistics. How many election was conducted in 2023 that some people are shouting rigging

It will be too confusing and congested.

Some will thumbprint Gov when he actually meant to vote Senate. No matter how inec explained the colours of the ballot papers, most people would be confused and thumbprint wrongly against their intentions.

ClearFlair:
Isn't INEC funded to conduct elections. Why are you making excuses for them? Let them do whatever it takes to get it done. It is not rocket science.

Unless you're saying you don't trust their capability to deliver, which begs further questions about competency

INEC itself already said they cant do it. They once went to court bcs of same matter and they won. You want to force them?

It is no brainer.
It is masterminded by them because of the sudden surprise of the outcome of 2023 presidential election in Lagos, they want to enter Lagos house through back door. it is better imagined than experience. it will never happen.

How is it logical to you for all the election to be conducted in one day without INEC being stretched? Opposition don't mean you people should just be opposing everything

Why are you scared of defeat ? The first poster was right . If this suggestion was agreed to and implemented in 2023, Labour party woulda been governing the affairs of Lagos today.

muykem:
Nigeria is more than Tinubu and your labour party. You don't amend constitution for one particular narration. INEC has constitutional right to schedule and give election guidelines based on their capability. They can even decide to hold all election one day if they wish. That right can't be taken from them in the name of constitution amendment.

Don't mind those insisting that elections should be done in a day.

I could remember 2003 elections, up till 2am, elections were still conducted and counting went as far as the 4th day

Also, forcing INEC to conduct Elections on the same day removes their Independence

Tareq1105:

I am tryin to remember the year that we did some elections together. Everyone was thumbprinting for the same party for all elective posts

Even in the US, the Presidential, Senate and HOR elections is done the same time; Governors and State Legislators are done by Mid-Term

Nwokem gbafuo there! The headline was clickbait.
If you take the time and read the article you will see that there were diverse views on the matter. Besides the proposal was made by Benjamin Kalu an APC parliamentarian.

Which LP would be governing Lagos? You well at all? Why LP no dey govern Anambra right now.
No let me use vex talk wetin dem go take ban me for here.

I don't think LP would have won Lagos. Cox Sawonlu isn't a bad Governor. He is actually doing well. People just voted against Tinubu but voted Sanwolu.

Why will it be stretched when number of polling units remain same. It's only sensitive materials that will increase so what they need is just to increase personnel for logistic cover.

Is it not one acreditation and you thumprint everything at once? If anyone is to be stretched it should be the voters

lailo:

So you're saying they're not competent enough?

Those kicking against this innovation rely on rigging.
if there was such a law before now, candidates who ran for other offices under the labour party could have rode on their presidential candidate popularity into office.

I have worked as electoral officer in the country where I reside. All elections are done the same day. You come you verified your identity and you go into the booth and for each position you chose your candidate and vote. It is only the election for selection of Mayors that are done on a different day.

If the argument is that INEC does not have capability to do that now, that is understandable. Not that it is not possible.

Na this one go allow plenty rigging pass oo. Inec and other institutions will be so overstretched to monitor everything to the end. Votings go enter big nights .. at the end of thr day ir won’t save costs because there will be alot of electoral malpractices that will lead to so many tribunal cases.

There are pros and coins. No matter the system they practice Nigeria is a work in progress. Elections will never be perfect yet.

But of course they will kick! How else do you want them to deploy adequate ‘resources’ to monitor the polling and votes cast as results come in, so they can determine where and where to cook the books, and at what point they need to switch off the IREV server (or whatever it’s called) when it’s clear their godfather is losing the presidential and Lagos state elections!?

OgaTheTop2:
APC will never support anything good for the masses in Nigeria... NEVER!

If you see them kicking then that means what they're kicking against is good. Know this... Know peace.

If APC clear everything now 😂 unah go dey shout rigging again 😂

U guys are bunch of comedian 😂

iwaeda:
If this is passed into law, it will reduce alot of rigging using state power for staggered elections.

I thought U people said, our votes don't count 😂

Later unah go dey shout rigging 😂

Nah APC from top to bottom 😂

E go clear for 👀

U go shout rigging wella 😂

I support it too. Let it be pass and Tinubu signed it to law.

You’re spot on! Splitting the election days for presidential and gubernatorial was what saved Sanwo-Olus’ bacon! It helped him and his gang see which way the tide was going and gave them a few weeks to adequately ‘prepare’!

If it is practically possible without confusing voters, I do support it for the fact that it will reduce cost of conducting elections. But with five ballots for some illiterate voters to thumbprint for their preferred candidates from different political parties, this will be confusing and too much time will be spent by an average voter sorting the ballots before thumbprinting. Voting may extend to the night which might make many intending electorates to go back home in frustration. This issue should be looked into carefully before inserting a single day elections into the electoral act.

press9jatv:

One, it will never get to the point of arriving on Tinubus’ table for him to sign! And two, even if it does arrive on his table, he will use Buharis’ style of delay tactics to avoid signing it up to the point he will now say it’s too late to sign as it’s too close to the 2027 elections! Watch, this is exactly how things will play out! No be Nigeria!?

How e go congest?
Na Rigging MindSet dey worri You.

If this had happened in 2023, Sanwo Olu and many first time governors would have gone

We are not ripe for it yet. Many voters are still uneducated ,the whole process would confuse them and it will lead to massive rigging ,time wasting ,result delay and lots of legal cases

This is how we used to do it some years back and the fairness of our elections was far better than what we have now. Here in the US, we elect so many people into different offices on a single election day and you would have known the results at least 97%, if not all, few hours after the election. Mahmoud Yakubu came here in Maryland to witness how their elections were conducted, returned to Nigeria with different ideas that the government implemented, but later allowed himself to be used to rubbish all the investments made in what would have been the best election so far in the history of Nigeria. If well handled electronically, it will save a lot of money, it will save a lot of time, and most importantly, it will save us from electoral fraud.

helinues:
Conducting all the election in one day will stretch INEC capacity, your competency will be useless with such logistics.

Or should I express myself in pidgin?

Oga it's the same thing you are saying.
The implication is that INEC is not capable to hold all the elections same day.
Which means they lack the tech and technical know-how, man power, Logistics, wisdom etc to hold all the election same day.

My question then is, where do all those huge allocation go to?
INEC can easily rig when the elections hold on different days.
