The Buhari Presidential Campaign Council has faulted the
decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to postpone the
presidential and National Assembly elections.
The council’s position was contained in a statement by its
spokesman, Mr Festus Keyamo, on Saturday.
“We condemn and deprecate this tardiness of the electoral
umpire in the strongest terms possible,” Keyamo said.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said President Muhammadu
Buhari had cooperated fully with INEC “by ensuring everything it demanded to
conduct free and fair elections were promptly made available to it.”
He described the postponement as a disappointment to the
ruling All Progressives Congress and its supporters across the country.
He, therefore, warned INEC against bowing to the purported
pressure of the opposition which he said was not ready for the elections.
He claimed that projections have predicted a defeat of the
opposition
“We do hope that INEC will remain neutral and impartial in
this process as the rumour mill is agog with the suggestion that this
postponement has been orchestrated in collusion with the main opposition,” he
alleged.
Keyamo appealed to Nigerians and to be patient, calm and
resolute despite what he called the temporary setback.
“Let us not give anyone the opportunity to plunge this
nation into a crisis, which is what they earnestly desire,” he advised.
