The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
said it had not fixed the Presidential and National Assembly elections on
February 14, to rub Nigerians of the joy derivable from the Lovers’ Day.
The Chief Press Secretary to the commission's Chairman, Mr
Kayode Idowu, said in Abuja that the election date was a coincidence.
``When the commission was taking that decision, it never
even occurred to the leaders of the commission that it was Valentine’s Day.
