NLC expresses disappointment with INEC over postponement of general elections

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has expressed disappointment with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the for shifting the date of the general elections.

INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega had on Feb. 7 announced the postponement of the date of the presidential and NASS elections from Feb. 14 to March 28.

The date for the governorship and state Assembly elections were shifted from Feb. 28 to April 11.

NIGERIANS SAY NO TO ELECTION POSTPONEMENT

It is getting clearer by the day that those who have suddenly become apostles of elections postponement are either having something to hide or are just jittery of losing out in the forth-coming elections.

Hence, they are sponsoring people to protest and call for postponement just to strategize for rigging.

Those that are justifying the postponement because many Nigerians are yet to collect their PERMANENT VOTERS CARDS, PVC should know that INEC cannot force people to pick up their PVCs.

No law or constitution mandates every Nigerian to collect his or her PVC and vote. Those that want to vote should pick their PVCs.
