They are hell bent in either having their way or cause constitutional crises.

jaybee3:
We all know that's the right thing to do. The General himself is frustrated with the tone of his answers when questioned in kano by the bbc reporter.

It's a given that the election will be compromised and it's dangerous road ahead for Nigerians

makzeze:
If PDP doesnt know, the postponement is a disadvantage to it. If the election is held on the 28th of March and INEC declares GEJ winner, what and how do you think the reaction will be?

Who cares?

canalily:
APC said they are for change why are they crying just as they have started the change by changing the dates of the election why have they been shouting for change and now crying for change

This election postponement is most embarrassing and a testament that Preofessor Attahiru Jega is an incompetent and clueless dude just like the President. This is the first time since we returned to democracy that the INEC Boss will openly take orders from the NSA, the Military and members of pro-PDP as regards election scheduling and rescheduling. Since when has the Military activities determines elections scheduling? The Electoral Act and the Constitution did not say NSA, Military and INEC should determine election date. Even if there is crises in a part of the country, Section 26(1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (amended) permit INEC to hold election in the peaceful area and reschedule for the trouble zone at a convenient date. Why can't Jega invoke this section and exclude Gombe, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe from Feb 14 and Feb 28 poll until March 28 and Aprill 11 respectively? Since when do we need the Military for election? What is the Statutory duties of the Police, the NSCDC, and by extension the DSS with respect to internal security? If personnels are not enough then why not bring in other paramilitary to assist? Must it be the Military? Was the Military used in 2003, 2007 and 2011 election? Militarisation started from Edo 2012,then Ondo(2012), [b]Anambra(2011)[b], Osun and Ekiti(2014) Gubernatorial contests. When did the Military become statutory responsible for internal security? The letter of the Chief of Defense State that was communicated to Jega through NSA Sambo Dasuki is treachery and unfortunate. Jega's announcement yesternight only confirmed that he doesn't know what he is doing. This is a shame, our democracy has been raped.

which guber election took place in Anambrain 2011?

barcanista:
They asked jega if there is a guarantee for the new dates, he said "the military will decide"

Don't you just get it? There's an oga at the top controlling things.

My fellow Okrika man, how far?

Even Okrika man sef done switch to APC.

That means GEJ is finished.

MARCH OVER, A NEW DISCOVERY.WILL HISTORY
REPEAT ITSELF? The moment I heard that the
General Election was postponed till march
28th,2015,I took a swift action into history and
gladly discovered that this postponement is an
Aural of Divinity.March is very significant in the
political History of the world.President
F.Kennedy of US, an opposition candidate won
Presidential election in March,1968.Former
Zimbabwe prime minister,Morgan Tsvangirai
lost an election to an opposition presidential
candidate,Robert Mugabe in the month of
march.I also glanced through ukraine history
and saw how a ruling party lost presidential
election in march 2003.March is always a good
time to march over and take control.It is the
best time for an opposition party to march over
and win election.Buhari is fully ready to march
over.Please join the marching Team today to
march out Jona.

It is well known fact that empty barrels makes the loudest noise. Toothless dogs barking all time. Everybody who mean well for this country knows that it is not safe to rush into election without proper scurity. The people incharge told us that they can not guarant security. All the other parties felt the same but APC who has no good intentions was insisting on having the electlon. They are in a hurry to snatch power. They have planned to cause confusion if they fail as usual. A band of political prostitutes with no good plan for Nigeria. They wanted to do it the garage way. Threatening nigerians if the election is prospone. Empty threats of cowards. The election has been prosponed, come out and fulfil your stupid threats, Baboons. This is how it will be when PDP will carry their victory again. Nothing cocroch fit do to Fowl in this world. Nigeria is bigger than them and their inordinated ambitions. Aso-rock is not for political prostitutes. Yeye dey smell!!!! APC KEEP JOGGING !!!! E GO BETTER. NIGERIANS BEAR IN MIND THAT CHANGE CAN BE FOR BAD/GOOD. WHICH ONE APC?

A lot of people on NL are babies & talk like fools.....US released a press statement and everybody is clapping without realising it was dz same US that revoked d sale of Helicopters from Isreal..OPEN UR EYES US SUPPORTS BOKO HARAM INDISCRETELY while allowing U & I kill ourselves.....NIG belongs to us all and PDP N APC ARE SAME PPL............tink wisely

if u read the full text of jega's speech you wouldn't be blaming jega one bit
Do you expect jega to provide security for inec officials when all then security agencies have backed out
and when inec officials are finally killed you will be the one that will be blaming jega for not postponing the election

Some of these foreign media(BBC inclusive) can be disgusting. If there's anybody out there who expects a sitting government to be stampeded out of office through propaganda and intimidation, such a person must be subjected to psychatric tests. BBC in their one-sided opinion did not inform the world how the president was attacked in northern states where the opposition candidate has a large support base, how Boko haram attacked and killed PDP supporters in Yobe immediately after the president left his campaign venue, how PDP leaders and faithfuls were intimidated from speaking bodly in the north, how the southern part of the country where the president has his largest support base has the lowest PVC collection rate (Lagos for example had 37% collection as at yesterday), how the opposition has been telling lies and brainwashing harpless Nigerians through unsubstantiated corruption allegations (the resent been the fanthom "missing" $20b that turned out to be outright lie). Why is the eye of BBC and other partial foreign media closed from these anomalies? Why is it a recurring decimal for BBC and CNN to report Boko harams successes and play down Nigerian millitary's inroads? We are no fools. It's evident that foreign media are collaborating with APC to truncate our democracy and disintegrate the nation but they are bound to fail.

omenka:
I beg to disagree with you. Jega, metaphorically speaking, had a gun to his head with his hands tied behind his back when he announced the postponement. I lay all the blame on the president. It was crystal clear the PDP was headed for a shameful defeat and had to pull all the stops, legal or otherwise, to ensure that doesn't happen. This is nothing but a civilian coup. I am hugely pained by what happened to say the least.

My grouse with Jega is that he should have stood his ground and damn the consequences. As it stands, PDP just scored a major point and they will want to consolidate on it using the Military. Omenka, I'm just calling for our institutions to work based on the law and not be cowed to submission. If it was me, I won't bend.

Postponement is an act of cowardice..... toothless bull dogs who cant even bark.... postponement is a big mistake.... lets bet... between now and March.... many many more pdp members will flock into APC.... u guys have just given thousands of Jonathan's supporters d big reason to shift to Buhari... politics is like game of chess.. u don't move ur serfs and soldiers with hurry emergency decisions... u read and study and think... this postponement has exposed ure unclothedness weakness ... eventful defeat... fear... uncertainty.... cowardice.... chicken heartedness.... u wait and see... votes jonathan should have preserved for february 14 will be drastically reduced... I have said it before and i say it again.... Nigerians of 1999 are not the same Nigerians of 2015... No matter d reason...reasons or excuse u implore or employ....... Nigerians are more wise and enlightened..... They can read d hand writing of pdp defeat on the walls....If a Commander-In-Chief cannot command his troops to provide security for a mere election WHAT THEN IS HE COMMANDING?
MENE...MENE.... TEKEL.... UPHARSIN.....

SAI BUHARI....SAI OSINBAJO...... SAI CHANGE....

Nigerians are powerless against the ruling class, then again so is everyone else. But here the only tool that gives us the illusion of democracy is being taken away.

It wasn't decided yesterday that the elections will hold on he 14th. There's been more than enough time to mobilize troops for the election, judging by the previous one I don't even think the move is entirely necessary especially if the military really is battling against the insurgents in the North. We'd just have to exclude the problem areas and continue.

The state of affairs back home is incredibly disheartening, more so now the elections will hold close to holidays when some might be traveling home with no intention of getting caught up in politics.

Its just a shame that these people can do what they like and continue to get away with it.

While I would say Uncle Joe is toying with a keg of gunpowder. It's far too easy to, safely, sit behind a keyboard and criticize Jega.

Obama, himself, has a long list of unconstitutional actions. It's just the nature of 'absolute' power.

Even, postponement is legal.

Xbee007:
It is obvious that it is not Jega's fault, rather some corrupt individual in the military who are so corrupt that the interest of Nigerians is not on their mind. Their sole interest is for their reward as promised by the President and his cohorts in the PDP so as to give him more time to decide on the apt strategy to rig this election.
This is evident in the viral Ekiti State election saga. It is therefore overly obvious that Jega doesn't have a hand in this because he is always interested in the wellbeing of its staff, which the military claim that can't guarantee. This makes one to wonder whether a war that has been on for over five years without any tangible success could be resolved in Six weeks (Is it magic?).
I am really disappointed in this county. However, we are hanging on to hope.
Good bless Nigeria? He has already did with all this natural resources and all, therefore, it should be:
God save Nigeria! May he save Nigeria from all those oppressors who want to turn their executive position to their family seat.

are dis naive 2 believe its not his fault..its all part of d plan,all dey had 2 do is blame it on bokoharam and dats anoda reason he has 2 voted out since d problems he couldn'y handle is nw causin future probs...

This drunkard will succeed in his quest to divide nigeria, from his kind'f jingle to his campaign strategies and now this uhn. Watched him addressing the congregation @#RCCG last night and I asked my self this question "this kind'f leader we all voted 2011

Nne, truer words have never been spoken.

My brother, there is no reason the Okrikans and entire Riverine to remain with the clueless one. When they loot, they don't know whether Sambo is Fulani or Jonathan is Ijaw. They are united in their theft or as my friend will say "thiefing". For 5 years the whole of Okrika and riverine has benefitted absolutely nothing from the administration except the insignificant number of government employees called "militants". We need Change my brother. We have suffered enough
