Election postponement: We are shocked, says Ohaneze Ndigbo, others

The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo has described the postponement of the Feb. 16 presidential and National Assembly elections as a `rude shock’.

The Assistant National Publicity Secretary of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu said that it would not draw conclusions on the matter yet until after the stakeholders meeting slated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to clarify the circumstances.

Meanwhile, the President of Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network, Olu Omotayo has said that the sudden postponement was not good for the image of the country.

Mr. Omotayo said that much funds and preparations by Nigerians may have gone into the presidential and National assembly polls only for the INEC to call it off at the last minute.
