Fellow Nigerians:
This is the same INEC that claimed it was ready to hold the presidential elections back on Feb. 14th! "The electoral body said it had achieved 78 per cent distribution of the PVCs across the states" on March 8, 2015 --- more than a month after the postponement of the elections! They've just begun training the 800,000 ad hoc staff and last week commenced test-runs for the voter card-reader machines.
Not a word about INEC's gross ineffectiveness and inefficiency from the Opposition, let alone the Boko Haram-sympathizer and Axelrod-misled Obama administration!!!
And we have all kinds of very strange fellows on this forum claiming that the postponement of the elections was an "excuse" by President Goodluck Jonathan to do whatever puerile conjectures they have in mind.
Indeed, Nigeria averted another catastrophe with the presidential election postponement. And, you thought President Jonathan is "clueless"? Na-a-a-h!
INEC Extends Distribution Of PVCs By 2weeks
The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) has extended the distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) by two weeks .
INEC says the exercise will continue across the country until March 22, 2015.
The commission had on February 9, extended the PVC collection date to March 8.
In a statement by INEC's Secretary, Mrs Augusta Ogakwu, said the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections from February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11 made the electoral body consider the shifting of the collection date.
So far, the electoral body said it had achieved 78 per cent distribution of the PVCs across the states.
