Poll Postponement: INEC Has Crippled PDP – PDP Senator by phyllosilicate(m): 8:00am On Feb 18, 2019
representing Nasarawa South Senator Solomon Adokwe says that the last minute postponement of the general election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has “crippled” and rendered the party “broke”.

Senator Adokwe told journalists in Lafia that the Commission’s action was a calculated attempt to make sure that the opposition party has no funds to mobilise logistics to its members.

He said that there was pressure on the Commission by the ruling APC party to conduct multiple-day elections in the country.

Their plan, he said, was to use enough security agencies in an election intended to run over multiple days to pepetuate themselves in office, even though it is clear that Nigerians were going to reject them in a free and fair election.

Senator Adokwe, who accused the electoral body of bias against the PDP said “most states in Nigeria, including Nasarawa State, were earmarked to frustrate the process so that they have staggered election. I believe it is God that is working; now you have the whole week to prepare and address all the challenges, no excuses any more,” he said

Senator Adokwe accused the Commission of being partisan, saying that “the integrity and credibility of INEC to conduct free and fair elections is questionable.

“The APC are quick at saying it was done in the past. Even if you say Jonathan did it, the Commission under Jonathan gave two weeks notice, but this INEC gave just few hours notice when we have already used our little resource to mobilise logistics for the process.

He went on to add that, “They did that to frustrate PDP. It was a calculated attempt at making sure that PDP is broke since they can easily go back to Central Bank to get funds. It is an attempt to make sure we are crippled and broke, but they will be shocked at the resilience of PDP; we are going to bounce back right into their faces.”

Despite the frustration, Adokwe said that his supporters were fully prepared for the election, noting that the postponement would not deter them from troopping out next Saturday to cast their votes for him.

The candidate expressed disappointment over the action of the Commission, noting that since the advent of democracy in Nigeria, this was the first Commission to give a long period notice in preparation for an election.

“They released their timetable eight months ago and commenced the process immediately. Their actions have raised a lot of room for one not to trust them. You cannot look at a Commission that is speaking from both sides of the mouth and believe that they will do the right thing, ” he said.

Senator Adokwe is running for the fourth time to represent Nasarawa South, contesting against APC candidate and incumbent governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura.

In the morning PDP will condemn the Postponement, in the Afternoon they would commend the postponement, in the evening they wouldn't know whether to condemn or commend.

PDP will never change their evil ways.

The action by INEC may have "crippled" PDP but certainly not the Nigerian people who are now more determined than ever to vote out this incompetent and wicked government of Buhari and his cabal.

Foolish party of thieves.

Tinubu shocked shocked, Buhari, Ameachi, Oshiomole shocked shocked, Okorocha etc are all National thieves. They ruled Nigeria for more than 16 years
Then, when a good-willed GOOD LUCK came to power, they left with all their evil spirits to form a new party called APC for full autonomy of their hedonistic intentions.

Oshiomele was able to manipulate his way to install former-inec and current Inec Chairman to keep the rigging in their favour.

APC won in 2015 doesn't make them the champion, just like in football even if you win Barcelona doesn't make you the best football club. you need to have better record than Barcelona before you can be described "better than Barcelona". in more sense, this election is their greatest challenge even than the victory they got in 2015 because they have never conducted an election before as an incumbent.. I'm 1000% sure of PDP winning in this Saturday election.. I'm already Atikulated with my fresh pvc.

This is what you get when you allow crack head and dumb dumb into the Senate. This guy and Dino belong in the same mental hospital.

Keep crying and wailing while APC is doing what it needs to do to win the election that they were about to win before INEC bailed out the PDP.
