[quote author=IbnSultaan post=30519112]Twenty one Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, have rejected a proposal to postpone Nigeria’s general elections billed for February 14 and 28. In a vote conducted Saturday by the INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega, after he met with political parties and the civil society, 21 RECs said the elections should continue as planned while 16 others voted in support of a reschedule. Nigeria has 37 RECs, each for a state and the Federal Capital, Abuja. The outcome of the vote came as Nigerians await INEC’s decision on whether the elections are moved or not. Civil Society leaders said Mr. Jega had told them at their meeting that the commission was under pressure to postpone the polls after all security agencies, including the military and the police, warned that they will only support polls held at least six weeks after the current dates. Jibrin Ibrahim, a senior fellow at the Centre for Democracy and Development, CDD, in Abuja, who was at the meeting, said Mr. Jega told the meeting that security operatives told INEC that they were commencing a six weeks special operations against Boko Haram insurgents in the north eastern corridors of the country and would rather not be distracted by the elections. Mr. Jega announced that the security forces also said the operations are due to commence on February 14, the date INEC had planned for the presidential and federal legislative elections. Earlier, 17 political parties out of the total 28 voted in support of an extension. The opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, has rejected any plan to postpone the election saying such calls are sponsored by President Goodluck Jonathan and the ruling party to stave their imminent defeat at the polls. It is not clear what the commission’s eventual decision would be with the latest voting pattern by the RECs. Mr. Jega is expected to brief the media any moment from now. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/176432-breaking-21-inec-resident-commissioners-reject-postponement-elections.html [It is very clear that the change some dude are clamoring for is about to take place now... At least before the new election date I will be given my PVC to vote for my choice] |

Watz d problem wit those 21 RECs? Ppl who has not been able to get their PVCs due to INECs fault want d election to be shifted. Shifting dis election by 6wks does not brake any electoral laws. Nawao , these 21 recs is putting dia so called credibility on d line. I wonder y so much noise abt this , knowing that May 29 is sacrosanct. |

YNaija can confirm that the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega has yet to make a final decision to postpone the elections. Jega is presently in a marathon meeting with his commissioners and then civil society to make a decision on whether to postpone the elections. Media reports have indicated that a decision has in fact been made, and – considering armoured tanks stationed in Lagos and Abuja today – those reports appear to have remit. However, speaking this afternoon by SMS to a senior official of INEC who is involved in today’s meeting......Read More. http://ynaija.com/exclusive-chairman-is-very-confused-official-says-jega-is-yet-to-make-a-decision-on-election-postponement/ |

Isn't GEJ tired of losing the war against Boko Haram? The greatest defeat to be suffered at the hands of Boko Haram if they successfully disrupt this great country's affairs to the point of causing elections to be postponed. We must not surrender to Boko Haram under any condition. Postponing the elections is equivalent to throwing in the towel and admitting that Boko Haram is winning. GEJ, sir, it is time to face the Nigerian people, we are ready to vote!! ![]() |

For the Imminent postponement of this elections, I just got another reason why I should not vote Jonathan. A president who makes Nigeria look stupid, unorganised and confused in the eye of the world. Now he has coerced the security agents to say they can't take part in discharging their activities, because they want to use 6weeks to fight bokoharam. What they couldn't do in 6 years. Indeed Nigeria has become a banana republic, and the government make the citizens look like fools! Where has it been heard that a serious minded country postponed its election. Indeed, there was a country Have no fear; Mannylex is here 2 Likes |

Re: 21 INEC Resident Commissioners Reject Postponement Of Elections by Marvin67: 8:21pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
The truth is that the REC's have little powers here. The political parties and the security forces are the major players. If the security forces, have said they can't guarantee security then, inec can't hold elections. If majority of the political parties vote against the elections, then inec also can't hold elections. Because it may lead to a boycott, which would also lead to annulment of the elections if eventually it is held. I don't want to be in jega's shoes now. |
