What Does The Rule Of Law Say About Election Postponement? by viccipedia(op): 1:00pm On Feb 16, 2019
Is it possible that Inec reserves the right to postpone elections without consultations with powers that be?
Is it possible that the decision was indeed made overnight?

This was obviously planned and executed as expected.

Now my question is; Is there nothing in the constitution or an electoral act that gives directives on grounds for election postponement?

Nice question op! I have not read, heard or seen anything related to one b4. If none exist, I call on the National assembly to treat this “postponement art” as urgent matter. It's a very very big lacuna in electioneering process that portend tragedy.

my point exactly.. there should be some stipulated directive on the rule of postponement giving a particular period of time to be given to the masses and corpers so that what has happened now does not repeat itself... Nigerians have become zombies who just follow their government blindly.
