PDP Praises INEC Over Elections Postponement

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the body’s decision to delay the elections for 6 weeks.

In its February 7 statement, the party insisted it was “in the best interest of deepening democracy and in the national interest”.

PDPPCO Director of Media and Publicity, Femi Fani-Kayode, added:
“With this decision, INEC has allayed the fears of many of our citizens that they may not have had the opportunity to vote for the candidates and parties of their choice on Election Day.”

The official also debunked rumours about plots by the ruling party associated with the postponement:
“We are constrained to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly condemn the opposition APC for its paranoid delusions and its far-fetched and childish conspiracy theories when it comes to the issue of poll shift.

“By  insisting that the elections should be conducted on February 14th the opposition was not only dangerously flirting with chaos but was also putting our country firmly on the path of confrontation, division, injustice, disaster and destruction…”

“It is a glaring testimony to their irresponsible and reckless disposition that they continue to insist on having an election on a date that the institution that is constitutionally charged to conduct that election has said that it would be impossible to go ahead under the present circumstances.”
