The Governorship and State Houses of Assembly election scheduled to hold March 11 may not hold except the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, vacated the order of the election petition tribunal restricting the commission from tempering with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines.

This was disclosed by an election observer group, Coalition of Civil Societies for Good Governance through its Coordinator, Olufemi Lawson while addressing journalists in Osogbo on Monday..

The Presidential candidates of both the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party, had approached the election petition tribunal to seek an order restraining INEC from tempering with the BVAS machines pending the inspection of the machines and other documents used for the presidential election.
However, Lawson, who was flanked by Comrade Ayo Ologun, a leader of one of the groups, said unless the electoral umpire approached the tribunal to vacate the order, it will be difficult for the commission to reconfigure the BVAS machines for the polls scheduled for Saturday.
According to him, with the present situation, INEC is faced with two options; to seek to postpone the election or decided not to use BVAS, which eventually will lead us back to the days of the electoral heist.

“The present situation is such that needs serious attention from both the commission and other stakeholders, particularly, politicians. If INEC did not vacate the order of the tribunal granted PDP and Labour Party, it would not be able to reconfigure BVAS machines for Saturday Governorship and Houses of Assembly election. It is either INEC postpone the poll, proceed without BVAS or seek legal option to vacate the order”.

Ologun, while fielding questions from journalists, opined that the INEC must work to ensure that infractions witnessed during the presidential election did not repeat themselves again this time.

“INEC as a body must put its house in order to ensure that actions capable of undermining the electoral process are adequately and effectively checked. Nigerians must not be taken for granted again”, he added

Lies. No single court has the power to invalidate an Electoral process that the whole Nation is going to elect their leaders. Even the supreme court has limited powers. Supreme court doesnt have the right to rule that I as a man should become a woman.

How will inec vacate the order

Maybe we should leave the governorship and state assembly election till the presidential election petitions are decided.

Fake News!

News source please?

Agreed.We are not in a hurry

That is the most likely outcome. I strongly anticipate the postponement of the Gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.

Ipob news 📰

The Elections cannot hold, why cant INec go ahead with the elections.

They want to throw this country into a constitutional crisis by all means. Obi is never going to win in court when he didn't even come second... How they expect a divided house to defeat a united house is beyond imagination.

INEC should discard the BVAS since they've obtained a kangaroo court order not to reconfigure the device for governorship and house of assembly elections.

Let's all go back to the days of Obasanjo-like elections.

Stop crying..

We are taking back our country....

Election that was rigged .. enjoy ur little win...
See u in court

Which country are you taking back and who are you giving it to? You've been roundly defeated since your first foolish act in the early 1960s... If you think u can come back through the window then think again... Nobody is going to support a thief, importer, tribalist, drug smuggler and sars brutality supporter to get into the office of president of Nigeria... You can feed off the yearnings of Nigerians for a young vibrant candidate to attempt to sell the fraudster to some sections of the people... But I assure u, you and your oga that hired you to push propaganda on NL will fail

The president elect when he’s sworn in will constitute the interim government for the states.

Its possible because the opposition parties obtained the court's baking to go through the bvas and that may delay the reconfiguration for the next election.

Abeg let it not hold, them get mind disobey electoral act...let them also postpone Saturday's elections to 2 weeks time...let's settle scores of the elections of 25th February.


Show me where it is in the Constitution that March 11th is the day for Nigeria's Statewide elections...what is special about 11th March

Will all these court and counter court cases

Since those that gave d order were dumb to know that governorship election has to hold to then INEC should do manual

The elections may be postponed, they can't go through with d bvas cos they are already respondents to court cases filed by aggrieved political parties PDP and LP with the election tribunal and this BVAS are materials of evidence and cannot be tampered with, 100% this election won't hold unless inec find a way around this impasse within 3days

Shut up

GOOD!
Postpone the next election till this rubbish is corrected.
I can't believe that INEC is still refusing Parties from inspecting the BVAS, despite a court order.

computer0810:

So you are so dumb to know that if INEC goes ahead without the BVAS, the election would be null and void.
Waste of time.
They brought the rubbish upon themselves
