AFTER series of protest, a total of 16 registered political parties and four presidential candidates yesterday joined the call for postponement of the forthcoming general elections. The presidential candidates, including Godson Okoye of the United Democratic Party (UDP), Sam Ekeh of Citizens Popular Party (CPP), Tuned Anifowose Kelani, Action Alliance (AA), and Ganiyu Galadima (ACPN) insisted that the present security situation in the country and the untidy manner in which INEC has handled the distribution of the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) has made the call for the postponement patriotic, stressing that the level of violence, threat of violence and use of foul languages have been a clear breach of the Abuja Peace Accord which was signed by the 14 presidential candidates.  

Making their positions known at a press conference yesterday in Abuja, Okoye said a shift in the date of the election does not contravene the provisions of Section 25 and 26 of the Electoral Act, stressing that it will afford INEC enough time to distribute the remaining PVCs to registered voters.

Those calling for the postponement of this election certainly don't mean well for this country.If after 4 solid years the govt could not crest the right environment for a peaceful election what's the assurance that everything will suddenly become o.k in a few weeks time?Pls this election must be allowed to go on as scheduled,at least INEC still have a few more days to ensure the distribution of PVCS.
