The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the resumption of political campaigns ahead of the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections slated for February 23, 2019.

A statement by Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, issued on Monday, noted that the commission took the decision after reviewing its preparations for the elections, as well as consultations with political parties.

The campaigns are expected to end officially by midnight on Thursday, February 21, 2019.

The statement read: “After consultations with political parties, the Commission has approved that campaigns by parties and candidates can resume forthwith and end by midnight of Thursday, 21st February, 2019.

“Media organisations are at liberty to accept, publish, broadcast and circulate campaign materials up till midnight of Thursday, 21st February, 2019. Political parties and their candidates are enjoined to abide by the extant laws governing campaigns.”

The commission also thanked Nigerians for their understanding regarding the rescheduling of the elections, just as it appealed to stakeholders to be “dispassionate and circumspect in their comments”.

“The Commission is focusing on the elections to be held on 23rd February and 9th March to ensure that they are free, fair and credible. We urge all Nigerians to participate fully in the elections, notwithstanding the disappointment,” the statement added.

A press conference on the updated preparations of the commission is scheduled for Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at the International Conference Centre in Abuja at 3pm.

good for democracy

Wen d major political parties have already given their ppl d all clear to resume campaign.. INEC don fall their hand already.. But what else do dey want to tell Nigerians dat dey haven't already done Since?

Chai, jst pity the chairman.
The heat is jst too much on him.

IF BUHARI WINS, HE WILL GIVE MORE CONTRACTS TO HIS RELATIVE
More contracts would be awarded to his relatives and he has asked them to create more account so they can store more money for him there during his last rule.
All this was revealed to me by a relative of Buhari.
Watch out Nigerians, Buhari second tenure will be hell. I voted fore Buhari in 2015 but he is a big disappointment.

Only a new administration will booast the economic situation on ground and Atiku despite his terrible record in the past is the best bet we have , he kinda reminds me of TRUMP who with his terrible record has booasted the image of Americans in just 3 years..

Nbote:

After PDP don dare INEC since yesterday say dem resume campaign today. Mtcheew!

Buhari is once again attempting to rape our laws like he had always done in the past ..
In 1983 is raped our laws by illegally removing an elected democratic govt despite what our constitution said about the ways a Nigerian President could be removed..
Just recently Buhari again attempted to use the the DSS to forcefully remove the Legislative leadership contrary to what out constitution stated .

those calling for the continuation of Buahri should understand this fact clearly and be prepared for no more help will come from the western countries with IMF or other European borrowing mechanisms and with little FDI , am sorry to say the economy will struggle if not collapse again..
China would have helped this administration greatly but will not trust them again, cause Buhari government betrayed the agreement with the great Eastern power in favor to the west... Thats why even the 400 million dollar military contract was given to the US knowing fully well half of that can be used to procure similar weapons from China..

Buhari and the north are about to grab all they can from Nigeria because they no longer believe in it.

Nonsense

good for ATIKU
