We should have been voting today

As millions of Nigerians were getting ready to cast their vote in presidential elections, the country's electoral commission announced a six-week postponement from today. So the popular slogan Febuhari has become even better to March4buhari… lol Naija Sef…




 The government says it needs more time to ensure security in Africa's most populous nation - particularly in areas dominated by the armed group Boko Haram.
Members of the opposition, however, see it as an attempt by President Goodluck Jonathan to buy time against his leading opponent, former General Muhammadu Buhari.

So, how will the six-week delay affect both Jonathan and Buhari's election campaign? What is behind the delay? Is the impending threat posed by Boko Haram the pivot this election campaign hinged on? And what is the security situation ahead of Nigeria's elections?
I will go and just vote and be watching.
