Adams Oshiomhole, National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has vowed not to forgive the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the postponement of the
2019 presidential election.
Oshiomhole explained that he
won’t forgive INEC for allowing his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC,
to “incur” cost due to the postponement of the presidential election.
He made the remark in response to
a statement by INEC’s National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, that as at 5pm on
Friday, February 15, 2019, INEC leadership were still optimistic on being able
to pull through with the election on February 16, hence the delayed
announcement of the postponement.
Okoye had stated this during a
round table discussion on electoral reform.
INEC had announced the
postponement of the elections few hours from the commencement of the
presidential election initially slated for February 16.
However, Oshiomhole while
speaking at a presentation during a round table discussion on electoral reform
yesterday said: “As at 5pm on Friday, February 15, some of the materials INEC
needed were still at the airports. How could you have assumed that by some
native doctor’s magical something, you could pull it through?
“Obviously you knew it was not in
your competence to increase the day beyond 24 hours. So, obviously you knew and
you cannot be pardoned for that. And I refuse to forgive you on that because
you knew it and you made us incur costs that were avoidable and you subjected
us to severe shocks.
“I don’t think you can defend
that. It was gross, inexcusable negligence of duty and crass incompetence on
the part of INEC. There is no need to wish it away.”
