Afenifere warns against change of election dates via xtradotnet
The group claims that the dates are necessary because of concerns voiced by Arewa Consultative Forum spokesman Dr Hakeem Baba-Hamed, about the possibility of using the court to thwart the election process and the hardships being inflicted on Nigerians, the consequences of which might be used to jeopardise the ongoing civil rule.
Afenifere pointed out that on January 27, ACF Director of Publicity and Advocacy Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed had said that there have been rumours that the scheduled elections might not take place and that “some kind of unconstitutional contraption might be forced on Nigerians after May this year.” Afenifere cited the ACF secretary.
The group argued that the government’s insistence on putting Nigerians through hell in the days leading up to the CBN governor’s announcement that the deadline for the swap of currency notes would be extended from January 31 to February 10 was indicative of a pattern of deliberately putting the people through unnecessary hardship.
Nonetheless, Afenifere acknowledged the delay in the deadline’s implementation until February 10, with the group claiming that the suffering and losses endured by Nigerians over the past week could have been averted “had the extension of the deadline been announced much earlier. There, indeed, is a need for the government, particularly the CBN Governor, to apologise to Nigerians over these avoidable pangs and losses that they suffer – and are still suffering.
