Election shift turned out a blessing to Nigerians, says Sambo

Vice President Namadi Sambo said in Kano on Thursday that shifting the general elections was a blessing to Nigerians.

Sambo, who spoke with newsmen, explained that holding it as earlier scheduled would have prevented 23 million eligible voters from exercising their civic responsibility.

``We thank God that the postponement of the elections has been a blessing to Nigerians.
