#NigeriaDecides2019:’You have Failed us, Resign now’ – Nigerians call out INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu for Postponing the Elections
A few hours ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, announced the postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections scheduled for today February 16th to next Saturday, February 23 2019, while State Governorship and House of Assembly elections will now hold on Saturday, March 9.
Nigerians woke up to the announcement made by Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and many are already calling for resignation saying ‘he has failed us’.
See all the reactions below:
@inecnigeria that was commanded by President Buhari through AGF Malami to postpone elections and waited till the 11th hour to carry out the order cannot guarantee free, fair and credible elections. Prof Mahmood Yakubu must resign!

There's need for the Honourable Chairman, INEC (Professor mahmood Yakubu) to apologize to Nigerians who had abandoned all for the sake of the same.
My opinion oooo.
God bless Nigeria. 👍

#ThisIsNigeria Dishonorable Mahmood Yakubu was using a company owned by an APC candidate to supply card readers. Dishonorable Mahmood Yakubu left Corp members across states stranded. Dishonorable Mahmood Yakubu postponed elections. yet, he's too daft to resign.

Dear Mahmood Yakubu, how much was the price tag for this grave and bitchy decision?
You have just compromised the future of your children and many others.
