Some political parties in the country have faulted some Nigerians who called for the postponement of the forthcoming general elections.
“The call for postponement is his view; the country is going forward with the planned elections.
On his part, the National Publicity Secretary of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Major Agboh, also faulted the call.“I think that is not patriotic enough because whether he likes it or not, we are in a democracy, and a president and governors have to emerge.” The National Chairman of the Africa Democratic Congress, Ralph Nwosu, said the postponement will not help Nigeria’s democracy.
He said, “Postponement cannot help our democracy; INEC has assured us consistently from all the meetings that we have been to that they are ready to proceed. “INEC, the body managing the electoral process is ready, the only thing that we need from the President is to show determination and get the security agencies, the intelligence agencies and others to key in.”All rights reserved.
