Yea, especially the night before the election. I did it during nysc.

ayoncox:
it's a very tough task, quite hectic

Wallade:
Quite aptly stated and professionally scripted response from INEC.

Very brilliant and articulate correspondence.

PRESS STATEMENT

It's only an amendment to the constitution that can change the date.

Is it really necessary?

Can't we just separate religion from our election?

Everybody in the world knows the date of US election. It could fall on Monday, Friday or Sunday, it doesn't affect them.

Let it be known to the world that ours is 3rd Saturday of February of every election year. Simple!

Felabrity:
We all know it will get postponed

They won't be able to rig election during fasting

Then the constitution has to be amended if not it will not be changed

It seems this new inec chairman is up to the task.
I can't wait for inec to start recruiting ad-hoc staff, I want to be a part of this election

Is this even supposed to be up for debate and explainings in a serious country with serious citizens?
Very soon, we'll reconsider election dates so that people admitted in hospital or women giving birth can finish then we can all vote. Also consider Holy congress, Hallelujah challenge, estate carnival, landlord meeting and Olumba retreat, not only Lent and Ramadan. Funny country.

Those are the kind of people forming opposition...people that are supposed to be thinking progressively... but no. They are all religion extremists.

One is a religion war monger - the groundnut-man. He even wished that USA invaded Nigeria ( but unfortunately for him, the USA is collaborating with us).

Another one paid terrorists when he was a governor and also tapped NSA communication, giving terrorists information about our military.

Another asks for elections date to be shifted because of religion.

There was this other one who claimed he was hungry, even after 24 years in government (8 years as Speaker, 8 years as governor, 8 years as minister).

Yet another is a total extremist, whose only achievement as minister was declaring public holidays.

There was this other one, who used the last 8 years as the number 1 law man to steal more than 213 billions.

These are the people that want to take over power.

The funniest part is that the groundnut-man fans have elevated these people as saints and heroes

And some of these people served under the last government of Buhari for 8 solid years.

Tinubu till 2031.

OlujobaSamuel:
INEC abeg no change the date, majority go dey holy mood, make dem let their conscience determine the right candidate, stomach no go determine the candidate to be voted for.
Holiness and lack of strength won't let them be fighting about also.
That election might actually be the best and violence free election ever

Someone is just thinking the same way like me in this matter.

nairalanda1:
Essentlaly the dates were due to the way the law was formulated, and if INEC has to change the dates, the law has to be changed....is what they are saying.

If they try it, same ADC will accuse them of trying to rig the election.

It’s a case of damned if u do, damned if u don’t.

No its not bad, it's a sign of mental laziness

Does it mean that they will change the date

I think they are just trying to be diplomatic. They have made a salient point that the decision to choose those dates or period was informed by the electoral law.

The only way to change it is to change the electoral laws.

Your matter be like person wey them give scientific calculator to work during exams but you would rather calculate with your senses, mind and hands.

You are very funny however, it is your choice.

Was the electoral law changed 23 years ago when INEC shifted the election date to avoid clashing with Easter

REWIND: In 2003, elections were going to clash with Easter. Catholic bishops protested. INEC shifted to April

You can challenge INEC in court if they don't change it to satisfy you.

ChatGPT is designed and invented to help us with those exercises, like writing speech, articles and correspondences.

So if someone used it and moderated the AI generated write-up to suit his needs and desired correspondence, so be it and it doesn't mean the person is lady at mind.

In view of these representations, the Commission is currently undertaking consultations and may, where necessary, seek appropriate legislative intervention to address the concerns raised, while ensuring that any adjustment remains consistent with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Inec can't change the date arbitrarily. It's not even their fault the date fall into Ramadan period.
