Gen. speaks on the 2015
general elections postponement
Press statement from APC presidential
candidate Gen. Buhari on the election
postponement...
We Must Remain Calm But Resolute
Following the decision by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) to
postpone the 2015 general elections by six
weeks, I wish to appeal for utmost
restraint and calm by all Nigerians,
especially the teeming supporters of our
great party, the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
This postponement, which comes on the
heels of the bogey of the National
Security Adviser that half of the registered
voters were being disenfranchised was
exposed as a crude and fraudulent attempt
to subvert the electoral process.
The PDP administration has now engineered a
postponement using the threat that security will
not be guaranteed across the length and
breadth of Nigeria because of military
engagement in some states in the North East.
It is important to note that although INEC acted
within its constitutional powers, it is clear that it
has been boxed into a situation where it has had
to bow to pressure. Thus, the independence of
INEC has been gravely compromised.
As a Nigerian and a presidential candidate in the
elections, I share in the disappointment and
frustration of this decision. This postponement
coming a week to the first election has raised
so many questions, many of which shall be
asked in the days ahead.
