I forsee The Anambra Elections Being Postponed. by doctokwus: 5:58pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
Following the latest embarrassment of Gov Obiano in Fagge during his electioneering campaign[url]www.nairaland.com/3923992/obianoobiano-chased-out-fagge-campaign,I am getting the feeling that the call for boycott of the election may have more support than the govt and public are willing to admit. With further disruptions now likely,following the Fagge success & more youth orchestrated general disruptions of many election related activities in the state,which may start getting uglier as the November date approaches,I forsee a situation where INEC will be forced to admit it doesn't have the conducive environment to conduct the elections. This will eventually create a very tricky scenario for INEC and the govt: (1Use military might?That may create a legitimacy issue. (2)Call IPOB led by Nnamdi Kanu to the negotiating table? But what would the govt be bringing to a table that wud have secession or at best referendum as the main menu? The govt if it has strategists shud start planning because as much as many would hate to admit,Kanu and IPOB are becoming a potent force to be taken seriously before we all cross the Rubicon of a 'we were formerly residents of the no longer existent Nigeria ' 4 Likes |

Skyfornia:It wud create a dilemma for everyone. Governors with impending elections might use d template to force INEC to postpone or even cancel elections till further notice. The general elections may also be affected. 2 Likes |

Oga forget that story... There will be ELECTION in Anambra state come November. Nobody has any right to STOP citizens from voting. The highest IPod yoots can do is to boycott it. The truth is, even if only 5 people come out to vote, the result will be deemed valid. APDA is presenting candidate for Anambra election, I will be in Anambra state to CAMPAIGN for APDA candidate and also as an election monitor for my party (hope to meet some of my frenemies from Anambra) BTW Most IPOD Yoots don't have voters card... Though we shall lobby them to vote as citizens of the state. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Warship:Get my point clear oga... Nobody will force anybody to vote or not to vote. Even if only 5 persons show up, the election shall be deemed VALID!!! I'm not against any group boycotting but we all know that most IPOB yoots don't have voters card... Most don't even vote. Do you know that MASSOB has been boycotting elections since 2003? Did that stop emergence of political leaders? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Warship:No one is saying people will be forced to vote. What he is saying is that no one can force anyone NOT TO vote. If you don't wanna vote, don't vote, but don't force others who deaire to vote not to vote. That is when you infringe on other people's right in exercising yours and that might have unpalatable consequences. 1 Like |

Warship:Oga the CFRN and EA 2014 are very clear. Whoever score the highest vote cast wins the election as long as he meets other requirements (like min of 25% in 2/3 of LGAs in the state). Even if na 1 person vote, the result will stand. 2 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:Just a few months or a yr ago,I felt Kanu was a jester and IPOB wud be decimated into extinction by federal might. It's obviously not so again. If we all continue pretending elections wud go on and not try and address d issues,the outcome maybe unpredictable. Remember too that this particular mvt is being propelled by disgruntled,some jobless and therefore frustrated youths that feel they av been treated unjustly by d Nigerian state. 8 Likes |

doctokwus:Election will go on as scheduled. The worst IPOB can do is to sit at home/boycott it. They can't stop ANYONE from going out to vote. BTW I agree that their agitation need to be given serious consideration but that doesn't have any relationship with election 1 Like |
Re: I forsee The Anambra Elections Being Postponed. by doctokwus: 7:09pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
omenka:I think otherwise. I fear the Obiano success wud further embolden IPOB & there is d increasingly possibility as d elections approach,radical elements amongst them wud start creating fear and panic amongst d electorate with threats of dire consequences if they come out to vote that day. So d issue is not whether 5 or 10 voters legitimizes d election,but rather if d atmosphere towards that time won't be so scary to force INEC into an initial postponement. |
Re: I forsee The Anambra Elections Being Postponed. by omenka(m): 7:30pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
doctokwus:With or without the threats, people whose relatives, kinsmen, etc have "direct and personal" interests in the poll would still come out and vote. Where trouble makers would make a mistake is PHYSICALLY RESTRAINING anyone from exercising their franchise. That would have consequence. |

Doctokwus, please whatever happens, don't write in the manner you just did again with all the annoying abbreviations like some lazy university student! You are an opinion leader here in your own right and must be at the forefront of campaign against this dangerous trend and style of writing. Please edit your main post. Thanks. 2 Likes |
