It is no longer news that the 2019 general elections have been postponed due to operational and logistic difficulties but the question to ask is..... Who is to be blamed? Could this ugly incident be avoided.

Recall that about 4 months ago due to pressure mounted by the PDP on INEC, the commission removed Amina Zakari from operation and logistics unit to Healthcare and Welfare unit. This is somebody who has worked in that department for years, gathering alot of experience in logistic issues however due to pressure she was replaced with Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu a newly appointed National Commissioner without much experience and the result is what we are seeing today.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has removed Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari as the head of its Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee.

She is now the head of INEC’s Health and Welfare Committee.

The announcement was made in a statement issued by the National Commissioner and Member, Information and Vote Education Committee, Malam Mohammed Haruna on Thursday.

Zakari has been criticized by the leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over her roles in some of the elections held recently.

She was accused of involvement in alleged rigging that characterized the governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states.

Her removal followed the re-organisatioin of some standing committees of INEC.

With the new arrangement, Barrister Festus Okoye now heads the Information and Voter Education Committee; Prince Solomon Adedeji Soyebi is of the Board of the Electoral Institute; Dr. Mohammed Mustafa Lecky heads the Planning, Monitoring and Strategy Committee while Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu heads the Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee.

Meanwhile, INEC has disclosed that none of the 89 political parties that notified it of their intention to conduct their primaries has submitted the list of its sponsored candidates and personal particulars to the centre for the purpose of collection.

INEC stated that the deadline for the submission of the list and other particulars for the 2019 general elections for Presidential and National Assembly candidates remained October 18, 2018 and Governorship and State House of Assembly, November 2, 2018.

But can you imagine that as foolish and idiotic as Reno Omokri and the useless PDP supporters are, they are still blaming Amina Zakari.

Good

Watching Channels TV and a guest is talking about INEC explaining who should manage Logistics and Operations. How qualified and experienced the person should be. This is basically linked.

Change the change! We are Overwhelmingly ATIKULATED!

Atikulated crooks.... Instead of hiding your face in shame for the pressure your party mounted on INEC to remove a highly qualified staff from her position you are here making noise.... Now she was replaced, you now see the outcome.
