February 16^th, 2019.

I wrote a letter of media accreditation of our media house IconblazemagazineonlinePortal to the resident electoral  Commissioner Independent National Electoral  Commission, Yaba, Lagoos on a Monday February, 4^th 2019. When I dropped the said letter a female personnel in the office of the resident electoral  Commissioner received it and stamped our file copy. She told us to check back  on 7^th February, 2019 and of a truth we went back to INEC Office, Yaba, Lagos when we got there we met the Commission holding a parley with people with disabilities which we covered and flew it in our online portal www.Iconblazemagazineonline.blogspot.com.

Again we were told to check back on 15^th February, 2019 for our kits to enable us cover, monitor and assess the February 16^th  2019 Presidential and NASS elections. We met with some of our colleagues and we all concurred to work as a team for Saturday, February 16^th , 2019. But very, very, very sadly when I woke up around 3:30 am and I paged Biggy my colleague, and he asked me , brother Leo, have you not heard the news? I asked him what news? He told me that Prof. Mahmood Yakubu the Chairman of INEC had shifted the presidential and NASS elections to Saturday 23^rd, 2019. Infact I was heavily devastated because I cannot really figure out the shifting in the dates.

Thanks to God there was light, I quickly switched on the television and as I flicked through the remote control the Alajazara channel came up and the first headlines news aired was the postponement of the Presidential, NASS, Gubernatorial and state Assemblies elections to 23^rd February, 2019 and 9^th March, 2019.

As our duties call, we moved the train into Lagos metropolies to feel the pulse of the citizenry. The citizenry came up with mixed feelings.

Speaking with Alhaji Haruna Ibrahim, Chairman Scraps Association at Tejuosho market, Yaba, Lagos, he said that he was shocked when he heard the news of postponement of 16^th February 2019, by INEC Chairman Prof. Yakubu. But, he says that Nigerians should continue to pray to God for His protection, guidance and all that throughout the land. He said that he is appealing to all Nigerians to accept the shift in dates as an act of God adding that God Himself knew what went wrong with the Commission. He said that he and his members would vote for the candidates of their choice in all elections.

Speaking again with Iconblacemagazineonlineportal Orwell Nwachukwu who lives at 22, Ojuelegba road, Yaba and business man said that the shift in dates had gulped up billions of naira in all ramifications. He said that shift in dates had affected the entire fabrics of the republic in a bad light adding that Nigeria is a dog who eats up her puppies by herself. He queried how can a father be at home and his children and wardsare hungry, he said again that the international Community would eternally look down on the people of Nigeria. Nwachukwu said that Nigeria is the giant of Africa, yet, she does not show the giantness in her for productiveness. He, however appealed to all sundry to stand up for the goodnesses of the enire black race and come out to cast their votes on 23^rd February and 9^th March, 2019.

He concludes with prayers for Nigeria and Nigerians so that God Himself would cover everyone with His Holy Spirit.

Speaking with Iconblazemagazineonlineportal king Efefefe, Chairman of locked up shops, Tejuosho market, Yaba, Lagos said that he received the news of postponement with mixed feelings, but he however, said that God Himself knew exactly why the shift in the dates.

He pragmatically appealed to all electorate to come out enmass and cast their votes for the candidates of their choice.

He equally says no to rigging, violence and snatching of ballot boxes.

Viewing the television continental Station,TVC professorof Mass Communication, University of Lagos, Yaba, Lagos Raph Akinfeleye and Mercy Ikoku, the founder Emerge women were the first two guests to air their views on the postponement of February 16^th 2019 Presidential and NASS elections, for Prof Akinfeleye, he was in sympathy with the INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmud Yakubu a Professor of History and Strategic Studies, he did not take him to the cleaners. But , for Mercy Ikoku, she was heavily piqued with the Chairman of INEC and the Commission herself as she that she scandalized with the postponement in dates.

Prof. Akinfeleye said that electoral materials did not get to the following states, Edo, Ekiti, Oyo, Taraba, Niger, Prof Akinfeleye queried if at 2:00 am on the 16^th February, 2019, the mentioned states had not received the electoral materials that what the INEC Chairman and the Commission did would be considered a saving face for the nation, But Ikoku the founder Emerge women did not see it the ways Prof Akinfeleye saw it. She said that INEC had four whole years to prepare for this election and to make the matter worsened that Prof. Yakubu the INEC Chairman had kept assuring Nigerians that all was fine and smoothened with the Commission to run elections as scheduled.

We at Iconblazemagazineonlineportal do hereby appeal to all parties, electorate, security operatives, gentlemen of the press, local and foreign observers, candidates of various postions and political parties to know clearly, loudly and pleasantly that powers come from God Himself through men and women.

God bless Nigeria.
