Election 2019: Comedian Akpororo calls on INEC chairman to announce winner, says we are still waiting

Following the Nigerian 2019 presidential elections that held on Saturday, February 23, citizens of the country have continued to express their dissatisfaction at the delayed announcement of the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

It would be recalled that since the completion of the polls, the electoral body did not start to announce the results until 11am on Monday, February 23. The anticipation has kept a lot of electorates anxious and many have taken to social media to express how they feel.

Among one of the concerned citizens that voiced out is popular Nigerian comedian Akpororo, who recently took to his Instagram page in a video post in which he queried the delay for the final announcement of the winner.

The comedian, who revealed that he could not carry out his civic responsibility due to the postponement by INEC and a clash with the date of his comedy tour, said that most Nigerians already had an idea of who the winner would be and so there was no point for the commission’s delay.

Akpororo said that Nigerians were not scared of whoever is going to emerge as the next president between the candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC) Mohammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? 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? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
