INEC has announced a postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly (NASS) elections by one week due to logistical challenges. IPAC Chairman, Mr Waheed Oyewole, made this call in his reaction to the postponement of the Presidential and NASS elections earlier slated for Feb. 16. ”Imagine that INEC conduct election that many polling units receive sensitive materials very late or incomplete materials. ”Let the commission in collaboration with the security agencies provide adequate security for the materials so that some unscrupulous politicians do not highjack the materials,” Oyewole stated. He, however, called for calm and urged INEC not to dance to the tune of the ruling government but to remain independent.
