I closed my business since yesterday, only for one incompetent, clueless, INEC (PMB's appointee) to cancel the election. He should know that INEC operation is all about logistics. A week postponement would not solve the issue of "logistics". If the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, couldn't overcome "logistics issues for 3yrs I doubt he would overcome it in a week time. And don't tell me it happened during Jonathan time. Postponement 5 hours to the start of polling is beyond the pale.
Anyway, I believe there is more to it than meets the eye. I refuse to believe there is nothing sinister afoot. It is either that or it is a gross display of incompetence and cluelessness.
Schools closed, Unilorin exams rescheduled, businesses closed, all because of an election which ended up being postponed. Weddings would have to be rescheduled and another round of losses for businesses and the nation just around the corner next week again. Youth corpers are already at their places of election duties. A lot of them slept rough till the early hours of the election morning of 16 Saturday 2019, only to hear of the postponement. All due to incompetence and cluelessness of PMB and his appointed at INEC. A huge loss to the nation time and economic costs. In Kogi state, the governor Yahaya Bello closed the schools from Wednesday till Monday only to have them closed for nothing at the end of the day.
A lot of losses of time and economy have occurred at the micro level across the nation. Appointments have been disrupted, travel and business plans will have to be rescheduled. This Postponement is a crime against the nation. Someone who has 3 years to prepare for an election should not be postponing by a week. A week would not be enough for whatever logistic the INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, is talking about.
