Why We Shifted Kogi, Bayelsa Governoship Elections — INEC by DeLinguaMan: 5:47pm On May 16, 2019
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has shifted the dates for the conduct of Kogi and Bayelsa States governoship elections, Igbere TV can authoritatively report.

The guber elections in both states will now hold on the 16th of November, 2019.

INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye Esq., disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday.

Igbere TV recalls that the Commission had fixed 2nd November, 2019 for the elections to hold in both states.

However, announcing the development in a statement issued on their verified Twitter handle @inecnigeria on Thursday, and obtained by Igbere TV, the electoral body said its decision was reached after receiving series of complaints from critical stakeholders in Bayelsa.

According to INEC, “The Commission had received several appeals from the Government, State Assembly, Elders, Religious Leaders, Traditional Rulers and other Critical Stakeholders in Bayelsa State, that the election date coincides with the State's Annual Thanksgiving Day which is backed by the Bayelsa State Thanksgiving Day Law 2012.

“After a careful consideration of the appeals, the Commission at its regular weekly meeting held today Thursday 16th May decided to shift the governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States to Saturday 16th November 2019.”

If only you had listened to the news, you would have heard that it's Bayelsa govt and elders that went to meet INEC chairman in Abuja to request a shift as the day picked originally clashes with their state Thanksgiving program and Prof Yakubu duly acceded to their request.
