Just when Nigerians were getting set for the presidential and national assembly elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) went into an emergency meeting.
The leadership of the commission summoned stakeholders to the meeting over logistics challenges on the eve of the elections.
In some States, materials had not arrived as of 9pm. The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the commission of acting the script of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Nigerians are also commenting on social media.
Below are some tweets:
My humble advice to INEC CHAIRMAN is to respond to these satanic rumours urgently…

INEC had 4 years to plan for this election. Why is Nigeria so dysfunctional?

If your headline says “INEC postpones” your content shouldn’t be saying “this is not yet official.” That’s nonsense!

2-Ever since the suspicious burning of highly guarded INEC offices few days to the scheduled elections, I knew a #CoupAgainstNigeria was afoot. They want you to react violently, so they can do what they did to the Shiites to you and scuttle democracy. Be wise and remain peaceful.

PDP'S DUBAI STRATEGY NIPPED…
INEC comfortable with security in place to address PDP's threat of unleashing violence during the course of the election. Election postponement no longer in consideration!
