A lot of things can be said about the delay of the national assembly’s election. Even though Nigerians take it to be the reduction in rigging rate, but the real literally meaning is the increase in default politics which is the increase in corruption.

Now that the national assembly knows that there is going to be a good and fair election due to the new system of election, they have to figure out another way of getting their wants and going for their next term.I know this is what led to the postponement of the election.

Talking to some of our correspondence their view were quite the same with mine. Ridwan spoke on the fact that Nigeria has always been a corrupt country and that the good ones in Nigeria are always afraid of been outspoken due to the fact that they get assassinated. This fact scares the good Nigerian and when they keep quiet for quite long, they become corrupt also.

There are those who believe that a delay would improve the ability of incumbents to rig the elections. For these people, the prospect of a delay will be unpalatable. That the Commission’s chairman, Attahiru Jega, waited until now to announce that more preparation time is needed can equally be viewed with suspicion. After all, he did not just learn that a period of less than 4 months is too short to plan and conduct national elections. There are others who assert that the legislative delays, the rushed timetable and other factors are all a grand scheme to lengthen Jonathan’s stay in office. The theories know no bounds.
