From Princely Onyenwe
The Election reschedule by INEC has for sure caused alot of reactions across the lengths and widths of the country as gathered by our correspodents.
It was a sudden announcement few hours to the elections but the rescheduling of Governorship and State Houses of Assembly Elections by the electoral Umpire INEC can be used to resolve lingering challenges bedevilling the Commission.
There are petitions, court summons, complains and BVAS machines malfunction to be corrected and put to shape by INEC.
The extension may give room for more preparations but the judiciary shouldn’t have reschedule few hours to the election. That’s the error as cried out by the Electorates.
The permission granted by the appeal court to inspect the results and reset the BVAS machines is in the right direction but the one week may not be enough.
INEC may have been stressed up to come up with such rescheduling of dates but on the benefit of doubt, the shift to one week may not be enough. Let the Commission employ more hands to do more work to sustain the promise made to NIGERIAN electorates.
However INEC will in this one week be expected to resolve alot of anomalies including granting the prayers of the oppositions.
INEC has four years to schedule, plan and conduct elections. But see what is happening. At last minutes, they are postponing the elections.
Alot of money was also sunk by the federal government to conduct the 2023 Election and the people are expecting to have a transparent and sound Election.
Since the change has come, it is Expected of INEC to utilize the postponement to get it right while expecting the judiciary to give Judgement accordingly for the interest of the people of Nigeria.
Recall that INEC made an excuse about BVAS in the Presidential election, gubernatorial election and house of assembly are getting it’s share now.
All reactions by NIGERIANs are geared towards getting the election right and making the country grow and the government process suitable.
In the human face, the march 11 shift has really affected people’s Schedule of events and activities. But be that as it may, the breaking News for the election reschedule came too sudden to fellow NIGERIANs but should be taking for consideration, peace and progress of the country.
Let the recalibration or better still reset of BVAS machines be Standardized to give the best results as NIGERIANs Expect.
