The Saturday, September 10, 2016, governorship election in Edo state should go on, many Nigerians submit. They are urging the Independent National Electoral Commission to ignore calls for its postponement following security reports and the Mathematics examination slated for the same day.
If the election in Edo state is postponed belief me our trust in this govt and Inec will have depreciated for the worst cos nothing good wil

If an election in a relatively peaceful Edo state is shifted, we may never expect elections again in states like Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

The APC led Federal Government know that the game is over in Edo State. They know that there’s no way they can win the Edo election.

Decision by INEC to go ahead with guber election in Edo is a victory 4 democracy. If all security apparatus have to be deployed, so be it.
