Saraki urges Nigerians not to be dismayed by postponement of general elections

Writer: AdminAdmin

An ex-governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, on Monday urged Nigerians not to be dismayed by the decision taken by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to postpone the general elections.

The former governor, who stated this through a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Bamikola Omishore called for the delay to be seen as an obstruction of democracy and a calculated attempt by President Goodluck Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to derail democracy. He further rejected the basis on which the decision to postpone the elections was taken.

He said: “For over three years, President Jonathan has failed to make national security a priority. How then does President Jonathan now expect the people to believe him when he says he will tackle the terrorist group in six weeks?”

Saraki went on to urge Nigerians to stay calm, stressing that, “we must be determined to make sure the postponement does not demoralize or disenfranchise us.”

“The delay in elections is an obstruction of democracy led by President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP,” he asserted.
