I hope this annoys people enough to come out to vote on the 23rd of February and 9th of march. I hope this postponement lights a fire in their souls and makes them see…more than ever…that we must take our nation back.

#NigeriaDesides2019 INEC can’t be postponing Presidential & National Assembly election on the morning of it Never-happened in history of this Country. We all knew dates of d election about 2 years ago. Yet they talk of logistics ? public holidays already declared on Friday!

Postponing elections few hours to go is the worst thing that can happen to a country. A lot of persons risked their lives to travel far and wide to take part, schools went on vac. Ad-hoc staffs went to centres with little or no security, at their own peril.

I wonder the fate of those that traveled kilometres to cast this vote.

I wonder the fate of the corpers to conduct this election.#NigeriaDesides2019 pic.twitter.com/kdvU1SqDIm

In 2011, Jega postponed the National Assembly elections on the day of the elections when we had started voting already. Four years ago, he postponed it days to the election.

Will this happen again in 2019?

We wait.

I was at @inecnigeria office throughout today.
I only saw an incompetent and failed Inec,
Today remembered Jega’s administrative prowess, I came to a conclusion that the man called Jega is simply an administrative guru. The man got swag

when I told people this election will be postponed I didn't realize @inecnigeria heard me… They literally waited till the last minute to do it……abysmal!!!! So did they take into account the effect this last minute decision would have on the country?? Even Jega was better pic.twitter.com/oxyP8hGOW7

@inecnigeria , this is too sudden, we sacrificed so much of our resources to be close to our pooling units.

Jega did not reschedule elections on the day of elections.

Nigerians are disappointed.

I'm done with 2019 elections.
