Millions of eligible voters have been displaced due to insecurity in APC strongholds like Katsina & Yobe. How come?

We havent forgotten all these and many others that you failed to mention including the killings of corpers over 2011 elections. We also didn't forget that elections held in every LGA and also Boko Haram was created in Borno and Yobe which have been ruled by PDP since 1999 abi? The truth is you elders from the North were dropping all the blames on Jonathan and were loving it. This was a national issue but the lust for power made them useful then.

Queseda:
Only those of you who haven't stayed in the northern part of the country or those who are just mischief makers won't appreciate the progress this government have made in the fight against insurgency. Those of us here before 2015 know how difficult life was at that time, you can't go to places of worship in peace, you get screened at motor parks, you can't hangout in peace with friends without apprehension, we were practically living in fear. All these are things of the past now, but trust Nigerians with their propensity to forget the pains of the past, they've forgotten the Nyanya bombing, the Banex plaza bombing, the bombings in Kano, the bombings in Jos, even a military barrack in the FCT was bombed, and so on

Posterity will judge everyone of you who wants to take us back the pains of the past

Funny people. How can you relocate polling centre from Bun Yadi to Damaturu, that's about 2 hours journey from each other.

Boko Haram don't hold that Local Government Area; it's very close to Sambisa, as such, it's frequently attacked by the insurgents. The military there are the last line of defence for Damaturu.

Voters in Buni yadi, the headquarters of Gujba local government area of Yobe State, have threatened to boycott elections as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, relocated voting to Damaturu, the Yobe state capital.

Last Sunday, Boko Haram militants launched an attack on military brigade in Buni yadi, killing an officer and 3 soldiers before they were neutralised by the military.

Speaking to Daily Trust on Friday, aggrieved electorate claimed that INEC’s decision was motivated by elites that had refused to return to their ancestral homes.

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state Alhaji Ahmad Makama told our correspondent that the voting areas were relocated to Damaturu after a careful security considerations by heads of security, INEC and all other stakeholders in the council.

“The securities had declared the area unsafe for the election. So safety of live is not guaranteed and we cannot expose our men and materials to any insecurity. That is why we relocated them to Damaturu,” he said.

Alhaji Lawan Garin Goni, the Sarkin Malamai of Buni yadi, said the relocation of the centres to Damaturu would disenfranchise not less than 70 percent voters in the town.

He said that many people said they would not leave their families behind to travel and cast their votes in Damaturu.

“I have not less than thirty registered voters under me. Now only me would go and vote, my wives and students that are eligible voters will not go as far as Damaturu to vote. That would be the problem in every household, ” he said.

Mamman Sarkin Fawa, said that electorate in the town were enthusiastic about the election until the late evening’s announcement.

“As community leader, I must go and vote, but I want to assured you that 90 percent would not vote this time around because people here are looking for money to feed, let alone transporting themselves to Damaturu for election,” he explained.

After the elections pdp should insist on the biometrics investigations of the voters in such relocated polling units simple, this is clear fraud,if the area is insecured let the elections in such areas be cancelled period.
