The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega has assured Nigerians that there will not be any further postponement of the rescheduled general election.
Jega gave the assurance on Wednesday, at an interactive session with the Civil Society Situation Room, a coalition of over 60 civil society organisations, in Abuja.
The INEC Chairman stated that the Commission was fully prepared for the exercise while he disclosed that 11 states have, so far, achieved over 90 per cent Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collection, because INEC maximised the six-week extension of the polls. “We are now, adequately, prepared for the elections, which have been rescheduled to March 28 and April 11.
And I want to say that I’ve not seen any indication from anywhere that there is a desire for another postponement of this election.
So, we are all focused on March 28 and April 11. “Soon after we announced the rescheduling of the elections, the Commission met and decided on how best to utilize this period of extension for six weeks.
