#Nigeria decides: Election postponement undermines our electoral process – Oseloka Obaze
AWKA, Anambra, Nigeria – Chairman ,Anambra People Democratic Party , PDP Atiku- Obi Presidential Campaign Council Oseloka Obaze has expressed shock at the INEC postponement of the general elections.
He said on Saturday that the INEC postponement of the elections at last minutes despite repeated assurance that it was ready and prepared to conduct credible and free polls was clear sign of plot to undermine the electoral process.
According to him, INEC must realise that postponement came as a great cost to Nigerians and must not compromise it. He further stated that Nigerian were prepared to make their votes count no matter who happens.
“INEC had four years to prepare for the 2019 elections in keeping with its statutory remit. It’s last minute postponement of the elections, despite repeated assurances, lends credence to our worries that INEC was never prepared to conduct a free, fair and sufficiently credibile elections.
As the umpire, INEC must understand that this postponement comes at a great cost to Nigerians.
Nigerians are ever ready to make their voices heard through the ballot; hence this shifting of the goalpost in the middle of the game undermines our democracy and won’t stop Nigerians from exercising their universal suffrage and passing their verdict.
We join our candidate in stating that ‘you can postpone an election, but you cannot postpone destiny.’
