There is no official confirmation or announcement yet from INEC but according to the Associated Press(AP).Nigeria's electoral commission will postpone
Feb. 14 presidential and legislative elections for six weeks to give a new multinational force time to secure northeastern areas under the
sway of Boko Haram.
An official close to the commission allegedly told The Associated Press on
Saturday.

DeleteJega will announce the postponement by 5pm this evening.. Already confirmed by times of London.. About 30 million southerners would be disenfranchised as they are yet to collect their PVC as well as Boko Haram issues in the North. Elections will commence on the first weekend in April..
ReplyDeleteSorry for my country! Was hoping we'd be done with this and move on to the next....

nt just boko haram stella..alot of thing are being considered...like non collection of pvcs..non availability of sensitive material etc..
ReplyDeleteSix weeks will be enough to correct all of this inadequacies.
Its a laudable idea
so that everyone that can vote wont be disenfranchised.
So the past 4 years wasn't enough for them to prepare for an election, na 6 weeks go reach dem. Smh, 9ja n her yeye politics.
DeleteBiko you guys should visit my blog o. Don't just visit, try n post comments too. Ese! Www.osahonaimufua.blogspot.com

Conduct a free nd fair electn nd jonathan s scared nd wants 2 put his person dere....mtchewwww.......Dis nation tho..in God we trust
ReplyDeleteIts not about the Rigging. We are about to smile and live with no fear in Nigeria no more. The Nigeria Army with the 7500 troops from AU are serious fighting the Bokoharam. Also Buhari has a court case on 9th.
DeleteLord, please, let this be true.
ReplyDeleteI refused to be confined to my house on my birthday.
'fingers crossed'
Yea....... Shoutout to a birthday mate. INEC and FG God pass una.
DeleteLord, please let this be true.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to be confined to my house on my birthday.
'fingers crossed'
Very silly comment frm u coz itz ur birthday so wot? D nxt date dat wud b choosen won't it b some1's birthday? Silly silly silly
DeleteThe election should be postponed because of your birthday? Like if you dont go out and celebrate it that day what will happen?
DeleteTHEY ARE ALL MAD AND FOR THIS REASON I'M VOTING FOR BEHAURI
ReplyDeleteI can't even spell hs name....smbh
DeleteU can't even spell hs name....smbh
DeleteHahahaha. Behauri
DeleteAbsolute bullocks. Since when did the federal government start to care about BH?
ReplyDeleteWhy did they wait till the election period to make any effort to curtail BH or consider the need to tighten severity?
They are just using the security measures as a bait to postpone it, when the circulation of the PVC excuse fell on deaf hears.
This will cause a lot of troubles in the country. Many businesses have been on standstill in anticipation of this glorious election.
A postponement by 6 bloody weeks is a call for unsettlement in all areas of the the economy and all else
Protesters have taken to the street. Jega has compromised under duress. Sad pity
I wonder too!since when did they start to care?smh
DeleteThe federal government could not curb bokoharam for 6yrs,they want to do it in 6weeks?how is dat possible!?oh com'mon!we ain't foolish we know d plan is to postpone,remove Jega,place someone dat will postpone again then come may29,Jonathan will form an interim govt!but all these evil plan will come to nought cos God has heard the cry of nigerians and have decided to save them from this sick' regime,but if Jona wants to force it,d wrath of God will fall on him sooner than he expects!Jonathan be warned.
No body can check the date of Democracy. Stop insinuating abstract
DeleteAnonymous I don't understand u.
DeleteAuto correct. **security**
Queen imagine the nonsense o. Like we are toddlers and don't know what's up.
well insiders ar sayin dev postponed it bt inec said deir meetin is stil ongoin dat we gonna get feedback by 5pm 2daay so we patiently waitn
ReplyDeleteJust watched Jega on Channels and he says the elections wl hold still.
ReplyDeleteYou were watching a documentary!
DeletePDP is on Jega's neck to postpone the elections by fire by force. If them postpone am na them sabi.
ReplyDeleteanyways Febuari is near.
Occupy inec, feBuhari still intact....cant wait for d election to come and go, atleast we'll av a fresh breath
ReplyDeleteYea, still intact but it's now FailBuhari
DeleteBuhahahahahahaha
Hmmmm..someone shld update us ooo.
ReplyDeleteSMH.
ReplyDeleteOrdinary voters' registration cannot be gotten right even after all these months. How can they get the voting proper right?
I support the postponement because a lot of people are yet to get their PVCs.
Smone shud pls throw more light on this
ReplyDeleteGood news for the girls.. . Lol
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteSecure northern states yada yada yada?
ReplyDeleteSomething they couldnt do under six years?
I'd remain positive and keep Nigeria in my prayers.
Terrorism is new to Nigeria. Now with the assistance of the AU victory will be ours. What we all need right now God's Direction and grace because insurgency is a bad thing that could destabilise a country plus their Economy but God has been faithful. We must win the War against Insurgency. They want to trash it once and for all with the new sophisticated arms and ammunition
DeleteNot surprise by this at all we all knew it was going to come to this.
ReplyDeleteI'm not buying this at all.
ReplyDeleteBecause you don't have enough money...lol
DeleteElection postponed?This way will favour PDP.a sittin president most not loose
ReplyDeleteOffcourse. GEJ he has to go back to his drawing board
DeleteHmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThey should do dis election once n rest jare
I read something of such yesterday from a Facebook page of a top politician after their meeting (he is a family friend)..I told my mum,she said "lailai,they will not gree cos PDP people want to do their mago-mago".I just kept quiet oo cos i wasn't just in the mood for arguments that morning. we practically argue every day,cos she na #teamGMB#...elections should come and go,biko as everybody dey always bully me for house now..
ReplyDeleteINEC should confirm the news ASAP but going by what i heard,Jega doesn't want it postponed because it means he wouldn't be the one to conduct the elections after postponement as "some people" are planning to dethrone him,all this to the favour of a particular party. But he is bent on conducting the elections "free and fair"at all cost,announce whatever the results are and then leave office. na wetin i hear i talk oo
Stellasticus, it's confirmed now! Electn postponed till 28mar. Opin dey wont postponed it by den
ReplyDeleteThey should not try it o. After making people that have long planned to wed on vals day lose hope.mtchewwww
ReplyDeleteHian!
ReplyDeleteTo think i was denied my PVC: reason being that i was omited and cant be reprinted because election is close..now my franchise has been denied and "almighty election postponed"
Oturugbeke
ReplyDeleteI just heard it now from my neighbour.I say make I come here confam"
ReplyDeleteIts well!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard too but it haven't been confirmed yet o.
ReplyDeleteI will wait for INEC's official announcement.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would they postpone this election? I see this election not holding after all
ReplyDeleteImagine the coincidence, just got this from MTN now!
ReplyDeleteINEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega has assured Nigerians that there is no going back on Feb 14 slated for the presidential Election. SMS NAN to 30020 for more.
I pray its not true oooo !!! Wat is dis nau , after postponing a lot of things till after election . Pls d should stop taking us keeping us stagnant. Praz
ReplyDeleteFeBuhari now FailBuhari

ReplyDeleteI just heard it's been postponed to march 28th
ReplyDeleteIts not possible to postponed the election for 6 weeks,because that will be easter season.Apri 3rd is Good friday and April 5th is Easter Sunday.Are you saying people should not celebrate Easter because of Election.I doubt the authencity of the news.
ReplyDeleteOya Shake Body*bb dancing smiley* First Val with hubby without election tension..Yayyyy
ReplyDeleteThe inec adhoc staff training is ongoing. Although the news on postponement is spreading fast. Stella I'm an inec official and u won't believe Jega does not want any official to participate in this election that we are corrupt.
ReplyDeleteYes una corrupt
DeleteHiaaaaa nawa Oooº° ,I'm so tired of dis election wahala ,tot dis ll be over n done with dis month so dat pple ll go abt their normal businesses.
ReplyDeleteThe meeting is still on going. No word yet oooo. Though international news don't announce am.
ReplyDelete*don*
DeleteElections happened in Afghanistan and Iraq despite insurgency and these Admin is telling us they need 6 weeks to solve an over half a decade issue. Even if they print and drop PVCs in front of all homes, people will not pick it from their doorsteps. Nigeria and anyhowness. If people complain they should be asked why they did not vote. You think the people in the NE will come out and vote and not fear for their lives? This admin is truly clueless. Is it today or this past week that the Admin noticed the issues? nigerians always refuse to use their brains.
ReplyDeleteI saw it coming long in time ago. All well and good for my birthday.
ReplyDeleteAfter postponing my wedding to May. Mscheeeww
ReplyDeleteThe election will be postponed because the security agencies told Jega that they will be going on Boko Haram assignment starting from the 14th of February. So they won't be around to protect Jega, election materials and his staff. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNawa oo. May God help us in this country.....
ReplyDeleteStella, shebi you are a PDP supporter with direct access to Mr Abati, ask him now.
ReplyDeleteMy personal prayer:
May God's wrath fall on all the enemies of Nigeria's progress. From the many emails people send to you begging for basic needs, I would have thought it would be clear to you the extent to which MAJORITY of the people are suffering and only a FEW enjoying the nation's wealth. The poor have no vindicator but God, it is well.
The meeting don round off. Expecting JEGA to announce the outcome of the long meetings.
