President Goodluck Jonathan has assured
Nigerians that the upcoming general elections
will not be postponed again.
The Presidential and National Assembly election
is slated to hold on Saturday March 28, while
the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly
elections are set to hold on April 11.
Jonathan gave the assurance on Sunday, March
22, during a Presidential Debate organised by
the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG)
Abuja.
“Let me use this unique opportunity to thank
Nigerians today for showing much interest in the
electoral process and to re-assure Nigerians that
elections will hold as scheduled by INEC,” the
President said.
“The presidential election and the National
Assembly election on the 28th of this month, and
the governorship and the state assembly election
on 11th of next month,” he added.
President Jonathan also urged Nigerians to stop
celebrating corrupt people and those with ill-
gotten wealth.
The general elections were originally billed to
hold on February 14 and 28 but were postponed
due to security concerns.
