- INEC has circulated information for the 2019 general elections

- The notice of poll was released at INEC's various offices across the country

Few months to election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Wednesday, January 2, circulated information about the forthcoming 2019 general elections at its various offices across the country.

INEC is expected to carry out ‘Publication of Notice of Polls for all elections not later than 14 days before the election, as stipulated in Section 46 of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended).

Daily Trust reports that in Enugu, the commission pasted the ‘Notice of Poll’ at its head office in accordance with the provision of the law.

According to the document marked EC 60 D, the Presidential and National Assembly polls will commence at 8.am on February 16, 2019, while the governorship and State Assembly election will hold on March 2, 2019.

The notice stated that each voter shall vote at the centre where he or she registered, adding that only persons whose names appeared on the voters register and have valid voter’s card were eligible to vote in the election.

The notice was signed by the administrative secretary on behalf of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Emeka Ononamadu.

The state public relations officer, Mr Linus Eze, said the notice became necessary in order to convince candidates doubting the reality of the election dates that “the commission is committed to keeping to the time-table so that nobody will deny knowledge of the notice.”

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
