Election postponement: Never again!

NIGERIANS may have borne the insult with admirable equanimity, even with some hope that something good would be the outcome of their long wait and delay. But let Professor Attahiru Jega and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as President Goodluck Jonathan and his security advisers not be in any doubt that with the postponement of the 2015 elections by six weeks, Nigerians have been mightily insulted.

 The nation has been so contemptuously taken on such a merry-go-round of untold embarrassment. And never again should it happen. Nigeria went through a lot of pains before regaining her footing in democracy, 16 years ago. Any act capable of reversing the progress so far made or even alter, however slightly, the journey, be it out of incompetence of institutions or inordinate ambition of persons, is reprehensible and unacceptable.
