INEC postpones Governorship elections to March 18, gives reasons
The independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has postponed the governorship election slated for March 11 to March 18
The National Commissioner & Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Barr. Festus Okoye, confirmed this in a statement on Wednesday night.
According to him, the commission needed time for the reconfiguration of the BVAS used for the Presidential election held on February 25, 2023.
“For instance, the BVAS can only be activated on the specific date and time of an election, he said
“Having been used for the Presidential and National Assembly elections on 25th February 2023, it is necessary to reconfigure the BVAS for activation on the date of the governorship and State Assembly elections,” the statement read in part.
Nigeria should have gone beyond this since when we have gotten our Independence
May Almighty God spare our lives beyond then
INEC should sit tight in the next election because we need free and fair election
INEC should look for a way for the BVAS to accommodate more than three or four elections in the BVAS next time
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….
