Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Are you not going to take up the story of the custom officer who murdered an innocent Nigerian because of a N5000 bribe.

seunokin Finally, Cluelessness and gross incompetence and failure, has given Nigerians a reason to decide wisely.

If Nigerian gen election has been postponed definitely their most be something behind 😚

seunokin Postponement of 2019 elections is a gross Incompetent, Nepotistic, Erroneous Conclusion, hanging on the neck of INEC. I quickly remembered the president condemning this shameful act; refused to sign the AMENDED ELECTORAL BILL into law which could have allowed more hands on deck!

I wish I could hiss....

seunokin This election postponement is better than having poor and violent results

seunokin BasedOnLogistics, INEC postpone elections....haba, una for call Efe BBN to solve this issue na...INEC una fall my hand....

Now INEC has postponed the election to another date due to some logistics, let them state/list out this issues let Nigerians see them and as the week goes by they should give us their progress report. Not that next week we may now hear similar stories.

Scam !!!!

The worse part of it is some inec sensitive materials has gone out already to some areas in the country,how do will deal with that?

What's the genuine reason why election is been postponed. inec should provide that

Guys dis song definitely deserves your retweet.

seunokin 'Elrufai lies about the killing of Fulani in Kajuru to create bloodshed in KADUNA He should be arrested for inciting violence .....PROF ODINKALU

Guys how many countries have postponed their election with 5 hours to go: 1. Nigeria

INEC needs reorganisation. No more political appointments. Recruit professionals to manage the agency. No more appointment of so-called incompetent professors. This show of shame must stop.

The shame and gross incompetence of INEC leadership. This is a national disgrace. Not surprised why nothing works in Nigeria. NigeriaDecides2019 NigeraDecides

I think the postponement is still part of the farewell package! AtikuObi2019

So disappointed. Anyway I feel they should extend PVC collection.Nijamustmoveforward

I knew they will postpone the elections. The entire Nigerian system is manual and stressful. Desperation is still the reason. That's we are still ranked as a developing nation.

BBoason My fellow countrymen, let's not lose hope. Delay is not denial. Let's keep faith together. It is only together can we defeat them.

Clueless professor.

We are keenly waiting to see what the INEC will do in next 06 days that they couldn't do in over 60 days of preparations; What a mess!

Just watching Babatunde Ogala on theverdict on ChannelsTV talking about the fake Ballard partners letter which Brain Ballard has come out to state was forged. Why is no-one fact checking him?

seunokin Same sickness and symptoms still surfacing in Nigeria. Our Leaders lack philosophical brain. They don't plan for future. Ekiti, Osun and other states elections prior to this general election is enough for INEC to plan. I wonder when we will be a developed country.

It's a pointer that those ruling us are incompetent hence they need to be changed. This election postponement is premeditated

Undecided voters should clear their doubt ; PDP did same in 2015 and still lost

Postponement is not problem to me par say but INEC must conduct free fair and peaceful election anytime they fix date.

Better headline would have been: Breaking: INEC postpones general elections six hours to Commencement.

I just hope that the cancellation/posponement is not triggered by one secret fore finger. NigeriaDecides2019 NoToStaggeredElections 2019Elections ThisIsNigeria

Baba go slow, hmmm he plan am well.

We'll disappoint them. If they like, they can postpone till December they'll still leave. They shouldn't unpack there bags yet coz the odds with the bookies is still very high on them loosing this election.

My people, don't despair nor be discouraged. I know lots of things have gone wrong for some of us because of this postponement. But let's stay the course. PMB n the gang are cooking something, but that food no go done.

inecnigeria as fail us Nigerians

4 + 4 = Next Level...

As it stands no matter d outcome next week, the election will never be accepted as free and fair due to the perceived incompetence of INEC as an institution.

Election rigging

We saw it coming when the Attorney General of the Federation wrote the INEC Chairman last thursday to postpone election. It's very unfortunate that a purported independent body is taking orders from APC Malani!

So I just suffered for nothing ? Imagine having children at home from Wednesday to Monday when its not a major holiday?

APC's desperation has finally came out . They have seen the handwriting on the wall that lies can't change the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, imagine 66 innocent people that was murdered just put fear in PDP stronghold..

This INEC is utterly hopeless and inept. Used almost three years to plan for an election only to truncate the process at the eleventh hour. This does not portray us as a serious nation. I give up.

Sahara prediction is right

It has finished breaking 😒😒😒NigeraDecides

This is abomination, people have wasted their money travelling from point to another.

Two years preparation after moving sensitive materials out , INEC postponed election Prof Yakubu should resign

A week's postponement is ok. It can only increase the anger of Nigerians towards MBuhari and his OfficialAPCNg. President Buhari is already inside the pit of hell and Prof Yakubu's inecnigeria can't pull him out. PMB dug his own grave through wickedness and insensitivity

A lot of people traveled far and wide just to vote... INEC had 3 yrs to prepare only for them to postpone elections. This is being incompetent at a high level.

I think the inec chairman should humbly resign for this level of embarrassment. There's absolutely no way he wouldn't av known at least a few days b4 election day that it might not hold due to logistics.

thonY_YHL Na so we see na oh

I swear inec has not learnt.

thonY_YHL Inec is very very mad

U had four years to prepare.

May God punish does people that give us independent,what a joke country

How could the chairman postponed election on election Day? It's indeed a slap on Nigeria

Finally, I can assure MBuhari that he will lose in the election outrightly.

So this inec chair finally succumbed to AGF advise to shift the election .....is Nigeria really a country or a banana republic

Prof Mahmood Yakubu is a disgrace to this Nation, for God's sake, he had 4 good years to plan and prepare only to come out at an election morning to postpone it. Who does that? Which country would tolerate this? Only in Nigeria! International embarrassment! Catastrophic failure!

Now people moral will drop....those that has travel now nko.....miteew

What about those that travelled far and near just because of this election? This is the height of incompetence 😥😥

I must vote APC out. I don't mind. I have spent to go to my polling unit but I don't mind. Postpone it till next year, I will still travel again. APC trick will not work. Everyone is tired of APC, even people benefiting from APC.

Well, whether PFP or apc. Apc r snowing their real colour. Well everything will work for our good. That big neck chairman is not. Himself at all.

Very important question: inecnigeria please,is buhari aware? Baba might end up going to the polling unit🙄🙄....

Hmmmm.... Is this INEC still INDEPENDENT? a night to the election, they are bringing this type of news. (what of students that have been at home and people that traveled just because of this election) inecnigeria INEC channelsnew NigeriaDecides2019

INEC Chairman,Prof Mahmood Yakubu pls resign!inecnigeria Your excuse is flimsy! When will Nigeria be great at doing simple things?INEC knew about this election 4yrs ago.We never plan for anything in Nig.u v wasted people's time&resources.I v lost hope in Nig period sigh😞

Postponing the elections is no longer a breaking news! I foresee another breaking news 8 days from now. ' The election has been adjourned inconclusive '! Yeye people

You wail into an examination hall after a full semester of preparation and ask for extra time. Results: G (failure) not even an F.

Inecnigeria, he who pays the piper dictates the tune! We've seen the writings on the wall, you wanna buy some ample time to perfect your rigging machinery. But the 9ja masses are ready to vote out ineptitude, incompetence, ethnic bigots and zombies. Atikulated we stand

So it’s true. Naija, country wey dey entertains others😂😂

Bullshit lots

So they think I will go back to my station and still travel back because I want to vote abi. INEC you disappoint Nigerians

seunokin Kudos

Is this news factual? Why haven't I heard from my local radio station?

This INEC chairman should as a matter of urgency resign his position and apologise

What a Waste of resources, several of use have traveled far for this election. Our government and institutions are so inconsiderate of how their decisions affect the citizens. This is just stupid.

Country for SaleNigeria

For what reason

This is arrant nonsense. This country is a joke alot of people travelled because of the election alot of events cancelled now we wake up to see the postponement of the general election. Shey Democracy ni eleyi abi crazydemo.

This is inhuman

So inec did not foresee the impossibility of the election taking place a week ago, they just discovered an hour to the scheduled date. Time,Resources n Energy wasted. In a sane society this nonsense can never happen. Nigeria issa big joke to other countries.

the will of nigeria masses must prevail even if the election is postpone till next year

If they like they should postpones the election... What I know is that APC are the master mind behind it... Atiku will win from what am seeing come next week.....

Yakubu is just a disappointment, making this announcement just hrs away.😡😡😡. So what happens to people that did long trips just for this. Which kain people are leading our institutions. And he kept misleading us.

This is absurd. Why does everyone in authority takes Nigerians for granted? Should the INEC chairman not have known that date is not feasible much earlier and inform Nigerians? What image have we created of ourselves in the international community? The INEC chairman should resign

INEC National Chairman, Mahamood Yakubu The National Commissioner for Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, Mr. Festus Okoye, told Daily Post on Friday night that Nigerians should ignore the rumours and come out to exercise their civic responsibility.

What is inec doing for past 4 years....Clueless government

Waka for inecnigeria and Mahmoud

Total incompetence by the INEC Chairman. He should be removed with immediate effect. This is unacceptable

I traveled for hours back home to vote, getting there and seen news of postponement overnight. It's sad 😔

Afta all this stress? Una fada!!

It’s wickedness, they waited for people to travel to their bases to vote, some out of state, this postponement is very unfair to the citizen especially. One more show that they DON’T CARE about us.

Postponement of the election is not a problem, all we want is free and fair credible elections,

Na wa o...

For some people to be the first in condemning the postponement, its worrisome

The postponement of the election earlier sheduled for today is so preposterous and bizarre. Why didnt the postponement come much earlier and why today of all days when most of us Nigerians had already travelled for the exercise? Certainly this is condemnable

This shows INEC is not independent at all.

totally nonsense , after all stress and long waiting

It's no surprise, and remember the blame game is near.

This should make every Nigerians to be more eager to vote.

Nigeria Can Never Change

inecnigeria is conniving with MBuhari to jeopardize this election. USEmbassyAbuja USMC

If they postpone EXAMS Inec to go postpone ELECTION ko I'm not even voting again😏😏😏😏

After a 4 year notice? No 🧠s

inecnigeria inec had 4 years to prepare for these elections. First haphazard voters registration and distribution and now postponements. Nigeria is bigger than anyone us. We either behave or become a laughing stock.

They have no reason whatsoever for doing this. They had 505 days to do it, if I'm not mistaken and yet came up with this!! inecnigeria how can people trust you for the so-called free and fair elections 😒🚶

Hmmmm

IszybeeTheFirst Why

It's one thing to wake up to bad news, it's another thing to wake up to stupidity and incompetent news. Can't wait for the reactions by morning. INEC better pray that angry Nigerians do not burn down their hq with them inside. 🚶

This country has been snatched from us! NigeriaDecides2019 NigeriaDecides InsidePolitics inecnigeria

What a SHAME!

if buhari bingo loses, he's now an ordinary man, if you see him on the road while going home, Pls knock his old skull

Hmmmm

Postponing elections without even a single apology to Nigerians for their flaws. After all his boasting that INEC is more than ready for elections. NigeriaDecides2019

Destiny of Nigeria awaits. It can only be delayed but it can never be denied. Nigeria decides 2019 PDP POWER

Why all these?

shock of the century!!

Just thinking about the enormous waste in terms of resources, knowing fully well that this action was palpable and predicted as well☹️😢 🇳🇬

GreenHousehub If you want to frustrate rigging and disrupting of election, Postpone the Election in the midnight of Election day. Only few can understand ask attahiru Jega 😊😊😊 Riggers and vote buyers How far?🤣

Why can't inec improve for once..why postponement just few hours to election

Such an unserious country...smh, later they will say don't relocate 🙄

Just more time to get atikulated to finish the unfinished work.

Rubbish people they are taking us for granted

How can you shift goal post when match has started. It only shows plan for partiality. God dey ooo!!!

Think Nigerians, there are 208.572 weeks in 4 years, one week is nothing. 2019StayFocusedNigerians!

I saw it and I told my colleague in Abuja last year cos of body language of the ruling party.

So I travelled back home for nothing?

This is a bad market for Atiku, Atiku will need to spend another set of money for vote buying next week, INEC why now?

I saw this coming

I knew it

This Country can never remain the same again . God knows 🚶🚶🚶

Ah

INEC had 4 years to plan this which they fail; the agency should be overhauled for competent hands that put things in place

A prophet said it that he is seeing the election been postponed and that has happened

Hmmm...is it that when inecnigeria released the electoral timetable it didn’t take into account any contingency?How come an electoral body headed by a Prof suddenly wakes up a day b4 scheduled Election Day to realize it had some contingency issues?🤔

Banks closed early, schools shutdown, states declared public holiday, people travelled all for what? God even if na Togo or Ghana, I for dey better off than this excuse called Nigeria! What a waste.inecnigerine DrJoeAbah AMADICHIMA segalink

This can’t be true

History has it that when ever election is postponed, incumbent losses. MBuhari just signed his exit. letskeepactikulating

INEC whatever they are trying to do won't favour them

We are still determined to take that dunce back to Daura come 23rd Feb.. He must go back any which way..

MBuhari AsoRock This administration is incompetent to it's exist...

Even FIFA is better prepared! How can you postpone an event you had 4 whole years to prepare for a few hours to it?

When pple has travel to different destination just to cast their vote....smh

At 3am preceeding the actual event. This is what we have been talking about lately. This has never happened in the history of this country.

SituationRoomNg APC and INEC are fraud, this is next level to rigging, why, taking decision in the middle of the night. Buharimustgo

Inexperienced National Electoral Commission (INEC)

Yeye country

We won't detract from their evil plan atiku AtikuOurPresident

Hmmmm wicked people, honestly speaking Nigeria needs to be recolonise, foolish inec

It’s not breaking. SaharaReporters reported this way earlier. 😂

The lifeless one must go back to Daura, no amount of manipulation will save him.

Even INEC ? I thought its only our politicians and ASUU that can't plan for 4years Hmm Giant of Africa indeed theverdict Nigeriadecides

At Delta State, we've been sleeping under the sky since evening, many of us are cold and shivering, Nigeria, you've failed your youths.

Our SPO is still sharing material, she doesn’t want to listen

Only in Nigeria will they postpone election in the middle of the night at the eve of elections when voters are sleeping. Which way my country. New level unlocked!

Am disappointed that inecnigeria had to bow to pressure of postponing the elections

Normal level

Painful that we have a point of argument and noise making till Feb 23. Please let the enemies of Nigeria stop the attack on their offices nation wide. God bless Nigeria

APC govt is the worst govt in naija history..can u imagine, after I have travelled to the east to vote..what a failed govt..buhari I was having pity on you before but this time around, u must go. We the masses will show u say our vote must count..nonsense govt n inec

seunokin Who is afraid of what?!!. Nigeria at it again!.

Na wa o! Things fall apart

Tell me you have not seen this movie before and i will say you are not a true nigerian... NigeriaDecides2019 Elections2019

WTF. nothing seems to be working in this part of the world. Las Las New date will come up. Mah vote must count

Why now?

real_ekeng For INEC plastic mind them think say the get sense like this 😒

This is a disgrace to our Nation

But why all this rubbish

As expected I saw happened in Edo state happening again

Lol....Una nor go thank God se dem nor postpone am after accreditation of voters completed...

The cabals are really taking Nigeria backward.. It's so unfortunate that INEC had to succumb to pressure..

No be dia fault sha if say I don... . If I hear INEC again I go ran miles before I stop.

At the helm of Nigeria’s affairs they don’t give any iota of concern to your worries. They do as they please, who are you to stop them? Powerful enough to postpone elections at the last minute. Sensitive Election materials have already been distributed - now the Rigging begins!!!

This is bad

inecnigeria had 4 years and billions of Naira to prepare for this. The Chairman and the carefree press secretary need to be thrown in jail and the keys thrown away

AlukoBrown victorfatanmi BolajiFawole mista_aj_ BibiAnne8 Y'all should report to the office 8am Monday morning. Thank you. NGeekPaul therealkaykerry AduOluwanifemi DonPhaite INEC is performing signs and wonders...

Really!?! Why, oh why? ThisIsNigeria

Inconclusive

I pray it's for good.

They already know that many people traveled just to vote, and would be leaving after the elections. They want voters to give up which will enable the Apc carry out its new strategy of rigging easily. Like it or not BuhariMustGo

This is stupid.

Nigeria has become more of a laughing stock under this present government. This is what you get when you have an illiterate with no regards for the rule of law, human life and orderliness. No integrity!

OfficialAisha it is official now

The General Elections' just turningoninown

they really want to demoralise the good people of Nigeria, their plans will fail. This is unbelievable, people have spent money to relocate themselves to various polling units, what of the ordinary man who planned to sell puff puff and drinks at the polling units? useless ppl

inecnigeria should have secured d whole inec offices nation wide to mitigate any possible incidents which is obvious sabotage & not accidents or coincidences. May God Shame all the EVIL Souls with wicked terrible motives toward the rest of us, patrotic Nigerians
