A few hours ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, announced the postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections scheduled for today February 16th to next Saturday February 23 2019, while State Governorship and House of Assembly elections will now hold on Saturday March 9.

 

Nigerians are reacting to this announcement made by Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and many are calling for his resignation.

See all the reactions below.

@ayosogunro,'*6 months to #NigeriaDecides2019*INEC: We're ready for this *3 months*INEC: We're ready *1 month* INEC: We're ready *2 weeks*INEC: Trust us, we're ok *1 week*INEC: Ready *3 days*INEC: Ready *2 days*INEC: Ready *1 day*INEC: Wait! We're not ready! Sorry.

@gidimeister,'INEC, with its ₦189 billion budget and four years to prepare, managed to behave no differently from a Nigerian tailor who collects ₦15,000 for your wedding outfit but switches off his phone on the day he is supposed to deliver. It is the exact same behaviour.

@afrispheric,'INEC said logistic "problems" forced them to postpone the elections. Guess who is in charge (chairman) of logistics in INEC? Amina Zakari, Buhari's relative. Nothing happens by accident under the Buhari admin...

@HenshawKate,'" INEC has ONE single major primary RESPONSIBILITY. ONE single deliverable. 4 YEARS to plan. Yet.....failure is what one gets"

@SirLibrai,'INEC is scamming all of you. CBN has the best logistics network of any government agency in Nigeria. Once CBN transports anything,  It gets there. So this brouhaha about logistics in bullshit. There are 38 CBN offices in Nigeria and I’m sure all of them have these materials

@segalink,'It is our socio-Political culture to always have someone to punish or hate when things don’t go right. I will not join the mob as always and will stand by the truth. It could have been worse. Hold the INEC chair responsible with understanding. He is accountable no doubt.

@JoeyAkan,'"I stand with INEC!" Of course, you do. You are a Nigerian. You have been conditioned to stand with "anyhowness," irrespective of any situation. After all, you people stand with rapist and pedophiles. Keep standing, until the same country breaks your leg. Standing committee.

@tutuofPH,'Move around today with your PVCs oh so that if INEC changes their mind, we’ll also be ready since we all want to be mad in this country. #2019Elections
