Nigeria election: What NASS will do to INEC for postponing presidential, parliamentary polls – Sen. Gaya
INEC had postponed the National Assembly and presidential election initially slated for February 16 to February 23 due to problems of logistics.
Gaya, who spoke with State House correspondents at the weekend, also disclosed why Kano people voted for President Muhammadu Buhari, even though the turnout for the elections was low.He assured that the next Senate will work with President Muhammadu Buhari in the interest of the nation. According to Gaya, “I was happy at the day one when they shifted the elections and I said still after shifting the election we will call them and we will investigate the INEC for shifting the election because it caused a poor turnout. We will find out the reason – if it is funding, we gave them enough funding, if it was issue of security, the security agencies were ready.
“So why should INEC shift the elections? We are going to investigate that when we come back after the governorship election. But sadly, generally they did what they could do, I could say, it’s a pass mark.
