INEC Postpones 2019 Presidential Election

The Presidential election scheduled to hold today,  16th February, 2019 has been rescheduled to a later date, Saturday, 23rd February.

It was made official in the early hours of this morning by the Independent National  Electoral Commission incharge of conducting the elections. 

Till date,  several reasons has been related to the public suggesting the cancellation hitherto but most persons aren't satisfied with the outcome. 

However,  it was revealed that thesent might be the real reasons for the cancellations:

1. The CBN deliberately muddling the delivery of sensitive materials.

2. The government putting pressure on the Commission to go ahead with elections even when they knew that deployments had been hampered. 

3. Flights conveying sensitive materials Scheduled to land in some airports were diverted to other states that were so far away from their initial destinations.

4. Pressure was being mounted on the Commission to still proceed with the elections when it was obvious that some states would not be participating.

5. Gov't deliberately delayed the release of already budgeted funds till very late in the day thereby delaying the mobilization of vendors. 

6. Mysterious fires kept destroying INEC facilities and sensitive materials.

7. Pilots conveying sensitive materials from the Nigerian Airforce were asked to return to base

8. Also,  alleged that the postponement was the culmination of several clandestine actions to achieve a staggered election but the INEC stood it's ground. The Commission at a point wanted just one day to surmount the challenges but the “unseen forces” had apparently penetrated NURTW the Union INEC contracted to move 429,000,000 ballot papers & frustrated that move. 

9. The issue of  Card Readers. INEC needed a minimum of five days to configure the replacement Card Readers that were deployed to Anambra, Plateau and Abia. 

Presently,  the INEC is in an emergency board meeting with the stakeholders,  a report will be related to the general public by 2pm today.  Let's hope for the best.
