This is an international organization commending our INEC official for a job Weldon and encourages them to be better

But, our parties especially PDP will always say negative things about them instead of commending them and their supporters always follow suit

To be serious, what does the UN know about our internal issues and state of preparedness other than what they are told? I do not know how prepared anybody is, i suspect a possibility of moving the election again. GEJ body language and the announcement that serious offensive against BH will will commence in March is an indication of sorts. In all these, i don't care. I dislike both contenders and therefore will not be voting either. I am not even registered anywhere.

They should both quite the stage so that the military can take over and unleash maximum rulership and thereafter Nigeria will snowball into an atomistic society that will blow itself to smithereens. UN would claim they said it and no one took note.

The United Nations has urged the Nigerian government to ensure the sanctity of new dates for its general elections, amid increasing concerns the government may yet again move the crucial polls from March 28 and April 11.
The general elections were shifted from February 14 and 28 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over security fears.

Many Nigerians and the international community have urged the government to ensure the polls are not shifted the second time. The main opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC, says the government instigated the first shift to avoid the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan at the polls.

In a statement Friday, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, “strongly” urged the Nigerian government and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to respect the new dates and ensure there are no further shifts.
“Following the postponement of general elections in Nigeria to 28 March and 11 April, the Secretary-General strongly urges the Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure these new dates are maintained, in accordance with the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution,” a statement by the world body said.
Mr. Ban’s statement came days after the head of INEC, Attahiru Jega, told Nigerian Senators he could not commit to the sanctity of the new dates for the elections, saying that was outside the powers of the electoral body.
Speaking Thursday, President Goodluck Jonathan said the elections will hold as scheduled by INEC.

The United Nations Secretary General, Mr. Ban, welcomed the president’s commitment to the new calendar.
He commended the progress made by INEC in the preparation for the elections, including the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards.

He urged all relevant national institutions to continue to work with INEC to ensure all voters can exercise their constitutional right to participate in the elections freely and without intimidation.

The Secretary-General expressed strong concern over reports of election-related violence.
He urged all political leaders to adhere to their commitments under the Abuja Accord, to refrain from inflammatory statements and to immediately condemn any statements from their supporters that amount to an incitement to violence or subversion of the electoral process.
The Secretary-General reiterated to Nigerians that the United Nations will be closely following developments and is offering its full support to Nigeria at this important moment.

Jonathan if you have really rule your people well for the passed six years you will not be scared to go head to head with any politician on the pole. You are only scared of losing because you know clearly that you didn't deliver a bit of all your promises.
Sai Buhari deserves our vote and should be given a chance.

OK, my ignorant student, Nigeria is a member of the UN which means that they have a right to be concerned with the way the country is being governed.
