The 2019 general elections in Nigeria, was originally scheduled to take place last February. This was however, rescheduled a few hours to the beginning of the electoral contest, by the Chairman of the Independent National Bank Electoral Commissione, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.


“Logistics problem” was largely blamed for the rescheduling of the initial date for the general elections. This was how the gubernatorial election was moved to March 9, 2019.

The sudden shift attracted divergent opinions and comments, but the one that readily comes to mind here, is the one made by a lady that simply identified herself as Sheeba.

“Chai! INEC has moved gubernatorial election to March. With the level of anti-Okorocha sentiments in the state, I can only advice him to beware of the Ides of March”, Sheeba said.
