 The political class of Nigeria, regardless of party affiliations, ought to view as significantly worrisome and disheartening the allegations made against INEC by the plaintiff in this federal law-suit. Among the political class, is there a restraining factor, such as "the national interest," which should supersede personal political ambitions? Are there not matters that ought to be viewed as sacrosanct--across the political cultural space--for the sake of the political stability, socioeconomic progress and social peace of this country? Who else here shares my sense of disillusionment? Can this geopolitical entity known as Nigeria ever get its act together?

My opinion on this matter is that INEC should keep the registration open until at least December 2022 since, ceteris paribus (all other things being equal), national elections will take place in February 2023.

Victor,

All allegations are worrisome, but then, they still have to be proved(beyond all reasonable doubts, not on balance of probability).

The plaintiffs are in court, the law would be what the judge rules, that is democracy.

At this point in time, "national interest"  is still subjective until the judge makes a ruling.

By the way, whose duty is it to conduct voters' registration exercise in Nigeria?

Is it not the agency that is statutorily saddled with the exercise that should decide when the exercise should start and end?

-CAO.

The WhatsApp post pasted below could be a measured "right to reply" to your one-sided post.

"Mr. Peter Obi, call your supporters to order; they are attacking me - Tinubu

Shuoo!

You will labour and die in vain - Tinubu to OBIdient

Mr Peter Obi = OBI-tuary 
- Nation Newspaper

Only 4 people are doing the social media work - Oshiomole

They don't have structures - BATists

You see why I don't have patience with hypocrites? 

These same people who brought bitter politics and all manner of falsehood and witchcraft and wickedness against GEJ...

You are even lucky we are using FACTS and TRUTHS to counter you guys. Truth is, it is too hot for you to handle. 

YOU JUST GOT SERVED YOUR OWN FOOD and you can't swallow it?

See, we are not stopping! We are in the season to #TakeBackNaija by pressing necks so hard!"

Okey Iheduru,

What and who are you actually responding to? "One sided post"?

Honestly, I am at lost here.

For the avoidance of doubts, the main post is a citizen news report in which some Peter Obi support group members were said to have sued INEC for certain alleged serious shortcomings.

Victor Okafor and one other person volunteered their personal viewpoints on the matter here and in response to Victor's viewpoint, I presented my own perspective.

So, what and who was your WhatsApp message directed to, in view of your "one sided post" comment?

-CAO.
