Governor Ngilu’s Bad day in Nigeria

Kitui Governor today was surprised after she was forced to postpone her crucial job of overseeing Nigeria’s February 16, 2019 elections.

This came after the Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) came up with a dramatic night-time move to have the presidential and parliamentary elections delayed by a week.

The disappointed National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) leader took to social media to express her disappointment in the decision.

“Ready at 6am for our observer mission but alas! The Election was postponed at 2am! 5 hours to the opening of the polling stations. Really sad for Nigeria and democracy in Africa,” her tweet read.

    
Governor Ngilu was the only Kenyan politician selected in the 38-member delegation owing to her political prowess and the fact that she was the first woman to vie for the presidency in Kenya.
Ngilu was expected to serve alongside former Botswana president Festus Mogae, former Latvian President Vaira Vike Freiberga, former US envoy to several African nations Johnny Carson and former Gambian Vice President Fatoumata Tambajang among others.
Her role will enable her to oversee the signing of the National Peace Accord between the leading candidates – President Muhammadu Buhari and his main rival, former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
