My fellow patriotic Nigerians , I find it extremely difficult to understand why our so call leaderscould not sleep on very trivial issue which is still extremely transient putting it connotatively and denotatively in shrewd comparison with nightmare multiplier effects of all forms of threats to our national security ..

All the real patriots and lovers of unity, oneness, and peace of this great country would undoubtedly believe that the postponement of February 14 General election was never and could never be a threat to our National Security or extension of evil even if election day remains tomorrow provided it is done In good faith or for national interest.

An expert witty commander, having sensed inevitably danger expertly retreats from battle front for adequate preparation so as not to waist the lives of those he leads.

It is very obviousthatHis Excellency, the President of the great country of America , all the Presidents of the members of UNO, International Political Observers, OAU, Individual patriots, Political Analysts and Political Scientists are political Gurus who must had already known that our preparation for the scheduled February 14 general elections was grossly deficient.

They are experienced people with highdisposition and undoubted ability to interpret political situations.

We thank God for the lives of our patriotic fathersand advocates of postponement of the said general elections for their patriotic stands against February general elections.

In the same vein,we appreciate our President for his increase steadfast endeavours to liberate allthe captured towns and people from bondage of insurgents,and able Military who on daily bases risk their lives in order to ensure security and peace in the country.

In Ekiti state number of eligible voters who registered is 732021. Total number of PVCS yet to be collected as at Friday, February 6, 2015 was 233568. The number of PVCs assumed distributed was 488453. In Ogun state as at February 17, 2015 only 40.86% of PVCs was collected by potentialvoters which meant more than 60% of these voters should have been disenfranchisedif the election held as scheduled. In fact as at February 17, 2015 more than almost 38% of PVCs was yet to be collected.

In Kano state 4975,701 persons registered. 1488.155 potentialvoters should have beendisenfranchised going by February 14, 2015.

In Lagos State 5905,852 registered out of which 3685,322 PVCs was collected and almost 2219,530 should have been disenfranchisedwhich is almost equal to totalnumber of voters that registered in three distinct states of Nigeria (Ekiti, FCT and Bayelsa States)as at March 22, 2015.

In Kano total number of PVCS collected increased from 70.08 to 82.64 with totalnumber of 4112039 PVCS collected. In Lagos the percentage increased from 62.40% to 65.25% with 3, 7999,274 PVCS collected out of 5,822207 registered voters. Kano has highest number of PVCS collected Ekitistate had least numberof PVCS collected.

The scenarios on this data are the total numbers of PVCScollected in Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ogunand Ondo is ridiculously insignificant compared with total number of PVCS collected so far by both NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STATES put together.

Lagos State is the worstaffected state with more than two million PVCS yet to be collected as at the march 22, 2015.

Analytical data of percentages of total PVCS collected in some selected states across the country as at march 23, 2015.

STATE ANDPERCENTAGE OF PVCS COLLECTD.
Bayelsa 99.88 Jigawa 95.98 Zamfara 95.97
Bauchi 95.76 Gombe 95.60 Akwa-Ibon 94.46
Taraba 94.30 Osun 73.43 Ondo 73.36
Borno 72.79 Ekiti 71.32 Lagos 65.25
Kastina 92.65 Oyo 67.89 Ogun 61.53
The analytical interpretation of the above data: There is clear evidence that the political functionaries IN YORUBA LAND have failed or disappointed their subjectsin term of unacceptable mode of governance which consequently discourage them fromcollecting their PVCS.

Second, these politicians may have lost their charisma or natural acceptability. Having lost their political credibility, they are overwhelmingly looking for solace in order to ensure that they remain in POWERas impostors.

Well, Yorubas can we say Osun state, Lagos state are not so educated to know the value of their PVCS?

My Dear people, you are always there in shouting wolf but you are ignominiously nowhereto be found in term of voting capacity or strength.

Yes, you may be justified if you could assure us that they that are yet to collect lot of PVCS have alldied or theregistration is falsified.

REACTIONS: PVCS. “Isiaka calls on INEC to wade into Ogun State case”. He said “having rolled out the statistics last week……………………….,Iwonder what magic will be done in the next five days to give the PVCS to the huge numbers of eligible voters that don't have it yet” ( SEE VANUARD ,MONDAY, MARCH 23,2015,PAGE 11.)

PVCS: “I don't have PVC”…Fashola, Lagos state governor. “I have tried many times but I have not been able to get my PVC. Even the Sultan of Sokoto is yet to collect his PVC”.

My Dear country patriots till as at March 23,2015 over two millions registered voters are not certain whether they would be disenfranchised or not.

The question still stands. Should February 14, 2015 not shifted I imagine the millions of potential voters that should have been disenfranchised. Undoubtedly, we should have plugged ourselves into unavoidable negative multiplier effects or produced pseudo-democracy.

A nation always has problems in as much as it cannot take a decision that will always stand test of time.

The assertion: Military forces shift election date–CSOs demand resignation of service chiefs…see Sunday mirror, February 8, 2015. It is a romantic fallacy and shrewd attempt to create criticism phobia.

The postponement of February 14 elections for just six weeks instead of three months is a mere premature baby of criticism phobia.

No going back February polls, says Jega(see New Telegrph,Wednesday, January,2015.) With such a tremendous bulk of work to put in perfect order (satisfactory distribution of PVCS, verification of PVCS distributed, testing and ensuring acceptable workability of cardreaders.)how could ONE conduct free, fair and credible elections.It is clear signal that he waschocked by criticism phobia of overzealous and overambitious idealistic politicians.

Consideringthe nature of my people in term of unwarranted criticism,one could not justifiably blame him. I own you profoundappreciation for what you have done so far within the short time of six weeks. Constructive advice always makes a man. Nevertheless, I still hold a strong belief that Nigeria is not fully prepared. All we are doing tomorrow is a baby of criticism phobia.

Nigerians, we have to be very careful of the platform on which we place our military. Sabotaging their efforts on ongoing state of insecurity in any form or for any reason is nothing but unpatriotic ignominious despising not only our dear President and the countrybut alsothe integrity of our military both internally and externally. America holds her military in unprecedented high esteem. Should there be any Nigerian that is fanning inferno of insecurity or sabotaging the efforts of our military men should please stop. We need peace.

Nigerians, although you are going through testing of eventuality on coming March 28,yet you have not had adequate and unquestionable preparedness no matter how successful the elections may be.March 28 general election is a premature baby of powerful unpatriotic criticism phobia.

My candid advice: Nigerians please for God's sake, let the unity, oneness,peace and love of this country Nigeria have place in our hearts.

I appeal to you; do not let our idealistic ambition deteriorate the state of our national security. Eschew any spirit of anarchy. Let us thrive to ensure have peace,love and the spirit of unity.
