Political actors and residents of Kwara state have expressed divergent views following the reported postponement of the general elections scheduled for Saturday. Despite the knowledge of the postponement, residents remained indoor, while business and social activities were grounded as few vehicles were on the road. The people said that the development had disrupted their plans and activities for the next few weeks, lamenting social and business losses. “It is with rude shock we woke up to the election postponement news, which started as a rumour late yesterday. “While we still await the comprehensive rationale behind the unexpected postponement, we enjoin Kwarans to neither be deterred nor disinterested, rather this one-week postponement should further enliven us”
