There were feelers on Wednesday that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may shift the February 25 presidential election by a minimum of two weeks due to logistics issues.

Key among these challenges are the incesant burning of INEC offices across the country and the insecurity challenges in the South-East and North- East.

A senior official of the Commission informed DAILY INDEPENDENT that while the electoral body is determined to stick with the scheduled date, recent developments in the country may force it to announce an extension.

" The Commission is doing all it can to stick to the announced dates but given the numerous challenges being witnessed across the country, such as burning of our offices, insecurity challenges and attack on INEC officials, lingering fuel scarcity coupled with problems arising from the Naira redesign, I won't be surprised if the election is postponed by two weeks minimum.

When contacted, the Commissioner for information and voter education of INEC, Festus Okoye denied any plans of extension saying the dates fixed for the conduct of the elections remains firm.

"The dates fixed by the Commission for the conduct of the 2023 general election are fixed and firm" he said.

Also affirming Okoye's position, Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman said there are no plans to shift the elections.

"Not at all. The Commission is not even contemplating shifting the 2023 General election".

Better to shift it and everything return to normal before election. That's the only sensible decision right now

Inec is already complaining of logistics issues, citing fuel scarcity has the reason.
Anyways, in all you do,vote for peter obi for President, Nigeria will be great again.

Why should they postpone it? Are blacks monkeys?

The whites in America & Europe conducted their elections amid a deadly pandemic. Why are blacks so inferior? We have to stop this disorganization if we are ever going to be taken seriously by other races.

Can’t we plan ourselves? What kind of rubbish is this?

And buhari will insist bcoz he had plans.

What improvement can they make in 2 weeks

Funny people

Maybe your father is a monkey, good for you. Same mumu people who argue against tailoring our standards along with the whites. Wonder how someone in his right senses compares mail-in ballot with manual.

Nonsense. Let the day not be shifted

Election that will Never hold

This is the first that we will be having an electronic transfer, by next election, we would have improved on it a little. For now, with fuel scarcity, logistics are significantly hampered. Oyinbo started from somewhere, so are we.

Even Tinubu won't allow Buhari stay one day after May 29

I concur.

We are always expecting the worse. Inec should brace up and conquer their challenges headlong.
