INEC action not explainable —Obi In a similar vein, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peter Obi condemned the action of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, saying the postponement was not explainable. Also reacting
through his media aide, Val Obienyem, Obi expressed shock at the action of the electoral umpire. He said: “How can INEC convince anybody that it suddenly discovered its unpreparedness on the day of the election? What of foreign observers already in the country? What of those that travelled home from their places of abode? What of those contesting that had already paid their agents? There are many questions begging for answers.” INEC not ready for free polls —Obaze In his reaction, the chairman of PDP campaign council in Anambra State, Oseloka Obaze observed that INEC had four years to prepare for the 2019 elections in keeping with its statutory functions, adding that its last minute postponement of the polls, despite repeated assurances, lent credence to earlier worries that INEC was never prepared to conduct free, fair and sufficiently credible elections. “As the umpire, INEC must understand that this postponement comes at a great cost to Nigerians,” he noted.
