Nawa o!
I can't believe this! It's quite shocking to wake up today only to learn that elections have been postponed, on top wetin abeg, security??? Haba! From what I can gather,the major reason why elections are postponed is security.
Jega had announced that he had received several written letters from National security chiefs that they cannot guarantee the security of INEC personnels (now,it's not just @ the North East alone but across the country...as far as I can infer). What it implies, therefore, is that despite the readiness of the electoral body,elections cannot hold until six weeks from now due to lack of readiness of the security (that ordinarily should be at red-alert all the time ),what a shame!
According to Jega, this is partly to enable our security forces to drive boko haram out of the North Eastern region.Several questions arises, among them is that,how is the FG and security chiefs hoping to drive out the bokos in 6 weeks while they had failed on the same mission for 6 years now?Perhaps by magical means.Another quick question is why EXACTLY is it that our armed forces and para-military cannot guarantee security during the polls, are we to believe that the armed forces are so short in manpower, if so,are they recruiting more people within the next 6 weeks,if they cannot guarantee security now,what gives us the confidence that they would in 6 weeks?!
Gaskia! I got lot of questions that are begging for answers...it's quite disappointing that we have to wait a six whole weeks on our security forces. This is another BIG slap on their faces.The first is the fact that they are so weak that they can't quench an insurgency,then,came the issue of Buhari who rose to the post of a General WITHOUT a school leaving certificate(according to them sha) and now,despite their knowledge of the fact that elections are holding on February, they still SHAMELESSLY requested for 6 more weeks to prepare for the all important event!
To me,this is the more reason for a change in the leadership of the country AND THE RULING PARTY! We need people who would do things a little more professionally and I don't see how we can get that if the leadership is not changed.
I think we should try some other party,perhaps, they would have a better manifesto for Nigerians. Sincerely, on hearing that elections are postponed because of security,I cannot but wonder how secured are we the common Nigerians, talking of the bokos, does that mean that the military had what it takes to actually uproot the insurgents all these years and had waited till now?!
I sense a great deal of foul play here! Well,either way,whether it's true we have security challenges to the extent of having to halt elections or not,one thing is certain, Nigerians have decided and the decision, every where you go is a change of government and the ruling party, not because we hated them that much but, because we are tired of the backwardness in a democracy (we no dey for military regime na!). Nigerians want to try another party's manifesto...it's a revolution baby! Vote for change!!!
