INEC Must Not Put Itself Under Unnecessary Pressure – Olawepo- Hashim by sammieyion: 5:08pm On Feb 18, 2019 |
Gbenga Olawepo- Hashim is the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Trust (PT), the party endorsed by a coalition of civil society organisations also known as the Third Force. In this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI, he bares his mind on the postponement of the 2019 general elections by the Indepndent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Excerpts: As one of the presidential candidates contesting in the 2019 general elections, how do you feel when INEC announced the postponement of the exercise? Ordinarily, it will be disappointing because of the logistics problems and the stress it places on everyone; the electorates, stakeholders and so on. My appeal now is that INEC should get the next postponed date, which is February 23rd right. I wonder why they are in a haste to announce a new date. I thought they should have discussed with the stakeholders that will participate in the elections before they quickly fix another date. The election is not just for INEC. It’s for the voters; it’s for the parties who are nominating agents, who will be mobilising their members. Some of them may have to repeat the cost and the logistics that they have deployed already. So, INEC cannot arbitrarily postpone the election without consulting with the other stakeholders. What is important is that we should have a credible election and at the end of the day, our country is better for it.

Reporter, Lagos The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos… Safe Motherhood: Seplat Charges Women On Child Spacing John Dugbe Ughelli - Seplat Petroleum Development Company/NDPC Thursday at Sapele, Delta State, organised a… Some are accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari of being behind the postponement. Do you also share this view? This is not the first time we are seeing this. We saw it under former President Olusegun Obasanjo. We saw it under Goodluck Jonathan. Even the election that produced President Buhari in 2015 was postponed by six weeks but Jonathan did not benefit from that postponement. I did not see how the postponement will benefit the incumbent President. But what is important is that INEC must not do things hastily. If they postpone for six weeks under Jonathan, why should it be one week now? Are they saying they would have gotten everything right by next week? So, whatever they have not done right now, can they to do it in one week? They need to do things properly so that we can have a credible election. So, I don’t believe President Buhari has anything to do with this. My belief is that INEC leadership should not put itself under unnecessary pressure. They should do their job properly and let’s have a credible election. https://www.independent.ng/inec-must-not-put-itself-under-unnecessary-pressure-olawepo-hashim/amp/ 1 Like |

I concur jare. Everybody were frustrated by the postponement but it was widely understood except for the ballot box stuffers (PDP) who took it to another level and were accusing every living thing that begins with A for the postponement. Simply because it rendered all their already stuffed ballot boxes useless. 5 Likes |

Laws re Laws without them, we re savages. Dey re testing d waters. It started wit Dasuki nd elzazaky nd dey got away with it. Dey went further to install an illegal CJN nd is still ongoing. In d face of imminent defeat, dey want to set d country on fire. Today, it's #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk Tomorrow ut may b #ProtestAtYourOwnRisk Or msy b #OppositionAtYourOwnRisk D Zombies re cheering dem on but, even Abacha had nd still hv supporters. If only he was proactive like towards herdsmen, bandatory nd Bokoharam. It would've been a thing of d past. If only he signed d electoral bills into law. Snatching boxes would a waste of time. BUT he didn't, Cos his handlers priority is about retaining power nd not leadership. Posterity will judge us all. 5 Likes |

Which pressure? Playing politics with election they had all the time to plan for, and rescheduling few hours to voting. Let's be serious. |

INEC should just contact Gov. Okowa to help them with the template he used to conduct the PDP National Convention. Buhari’s final trip to Daura is inevitable. |

Snatching of ballot boxes is not the only form of rigging. There is a political party (APC) that are used to the weather-beaten methods of rigging and vote buying, hijack of result sheets, scarcity of materials in opposition party stronghold, and using the security apparatus to intimidate, threaten and harass voters against their will and wish. It seems this Osun method failed when INEC refuse to stagger the election. The reason for their anger and attack on Inec. |
