Barring any further extensions, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reached a decision to postpone Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections to March 18, 2023, the postponement was due to the commission’s inability to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections.

It is no longer strange the way he has been going about doing things outside the known norms of political promises of average Nigerian politicians, promises that are always a condition to receive the people's votes in return. But Dr. Nwankoa had always…
