President Goodluck Jonathan has allayed the fears of some Nigerians that next month’s general elections would be postponed. Mr President gave the assurance while debunking allegations by the All Progressives Congress, APC that the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, are involved in surreptitious schemes to postpone the February 14, Presidential election.
The assurance was conveyed in a statement by the president’s Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Prof Rufai Ahmed Alkali, and according to him:
“The attempt to denigrate the Presidency of Nigeria and drag it down the cesspit of vile propaganda and rumour mongering is unfortunate and signpost’s the APC’s disregard for our revered institutions…
“We wish to draw the attention of Nigerians to the fact that it is the APC and their unruly supporters that have been doing everything possible to frustrate the conduct of a free and fair electoral process.
“It is therefore a great irony that those who have consciously worked to frustrate the February 14 elections are the ones crying out the most and accusing others of the plans to shift the polls.What do you think???
“Nigerians have been assured by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that preparations for the elections are on course. We therefore have no doubt that the elections will be a huge success, much to the disappointment of the naysayers,”
