Political scientist applauds INEC on election postponement font size Print Email 11.Feb.2015 | DISQUS_COMMENTS | Professor Aloysius Okolie of the Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) has said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) postponement of February 14 and 28 elections to March 28 and April 11 is a welcome development. Okolie, a professor of political science made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Nsukka, on Tuesday. He stated that given the highly security atmosphere in North East and some lapses in INEC’s preparations, the postponement was necessary, if the country’s integrity was to be maintained. “The postponement is necessary if we have to maintain the integrity of this federation. It is a welcome development to all meaning Nigerians though it might not be a welcome development to the desperados. “The same people, who want this election to go on not will not like their children or relations to be posted to the highly unsecured areas as returning offers, polling officers or assistant polling officers. “I congratulate those who have the gut to postpone the elections as I enjoin INEC and relevant organisations to always have the political will to do the needful for the overall interest of this federation,’’ he said He said that those who by false calculation insisted that the elections should go on, thinking they would win in spite of the danger on INEC and the members of ad hoc staff are selfish leaders. 1 Like |
