The United States is deeply disappointed by the
decision to postpone Nigeria’s presidential election, which had been scheduled
for February 14.
Political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission is unacceptable, and it is critical that the government not use security concerns as a pretext for impeding the democratic process.

CSOs Call For Resignation Of Security Chiefs Over Election Postponement
The Nigeria Civil
Society Situation Room (Situation Room) has called on the security chiefs in
the country to resign their appointments immediately over their inability to
provide security for millions of Nigerians.
According to a statement from Agianpe Ashang of the
Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), said that the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, at a
meeting with 12 national commissioners and other stakeholders conveyed that he
had received a letter from the security services advising that he postponed the
general elections on the grounds that the security agencies were engaged in a
renewed battle against insurgency in the North-East that would require their
full concentration.
According to Jega in the letter, the military was
demanding a rescheduling of elections by at least six weeks.

Full INEC Press Statement on Election
Last night being the 7th of February 2015, INEC
chairman Attahiru Jega announced the postponement of the 2015 general
elections. Below is the full statement he gave to the press...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We invited you here today to make known the position of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the timetable for the 2015 general
elections. Let me state from the outset that the Commission’s position was
reached after carefully weighing the suggestions from briefings held with
different stakeholders in the electoral process.
The conduct of elections in a country like Nigeria is invariably a
collective venture that involves not just the Election Management Body (EMB),
but also a diverse range of stakeholders, notably security agencies, political
parties and their candidates, voters, as well as interest groups, such as the
civil society organizations and the media.To guarantee successful conduct of
elections, there are things that are wholly the responsibility of the EMB. But
there are other things critical for the success of elections, which fall
outside the control of the EMB. Continue reading after the cut....

Seventeen out of the 28 registered political parties have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission to shift the conduct of the general elections scheduled for February 14 and 28.
The parties canvassed the position at a consultative meeting with INEC, which ended a few hours ago at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
INEC had on Friday announced that it would hold consultative meetings with all relevant bodies, including the political parties, civil society organisations and the resident electoral commissioners.
A source at the meeting told PREMIUM TIMES that leaders of 12 others, including the leading opposition party, All Progressives Congress, stoutly opposed their colleagues who were demanding the shift of the election.

Lights Out in Nigeria - by Chimamanda Adichie
Article
written by award-winning writer Chimamanda Adichie, originally published on New York Times. Interesting read. Find below...
We call it light;
“electricity” is too sterile a word, and “power” too stiff, for this Nigerian phenomenon
that can buoy spirits and smother dreams. Whenever I have been away from home
for a while, my first question upon returning is always: “How has light been?”
The response, from my gateman, comes in mournful degrees of a head shake.
Bad. Very bad.
