WARRI/Nigeria: A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Sunny Onuesoke in Delta state had berated the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC for postponing the elections, saying there is absolutely no reason for it as reasons given was self instigated.
The PDP stalwart said that it had been obvious that INEC had been compromised, despite that they had 48 months to prepare for the 2019 elections.
“It’s very obvious to all that electoral umpire has been compromised, hence the reason being put as the excuse for the postponement of election are self instigated. They had 48 months to prepare for the election only for them to call for postponement less than six hours to the election.”
“That is the height of insensitivity and irresponsibly on the part of INEC and I think the Chairman should take the path of honour by resigning from position having displayed high level if incompetence.”
You may want to argue that Jonathan also postponed in 2015, but then it was not possible to hold elections in some part of the country especially the North East that was being ravaged by the dreaded Boko Haram, hence there was legitimate reason to postponed the elections in 2015..
“We are shocked beyond words to wake up on election day only to realized that elections have been postponed.. It is clear to all that the outcome of the elections is tilted toward the PDP, hence the failed APC Led government, having realized that Nigerians have rejected them and seeing the writings on the wall of a prospective defeat at polls , connived with INEC to come up with such inexcusable logistics reasons for the postponement of the elections.”
“Logistics reasons which they created by themselves, hence in the past 48hours we have been hearing bombing of INEC offices in some states, non availability of sensitive material, destruction of uncollected PVCs and other flimsy excuses.”
“All these are calculated attempt by INEC in connivance with APC to swindle Nigerians into accepting the postponement of the election in other to perfect their rigging plan.
