Prospective voters on Saturday continued to assemble at
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Kofar Baru 003 polling unit, Sarkin Yara ward,
Daura, Katsina State, despite the postponement of the Presidential and National
Assembly elections.
A correspondent of News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who visited
the polling unit on Saturday morning, reported that some of the prospective
voters, who spoke to NAN, claimed ignorance of the postponement of the
elections.
Others, however, said they were aware of the postponement,
saying that they were at the polling unit despite the cold weather condition,
to reconfirm what they heard on radio and other social media outfits.
Malam Muhammed Lawal, one of the voters, told NAN that he
was at the polling unit as early as 7.30a.m as he wanted to satisfy his
curiosity.
Another prospective voter, who simply gave his name as Musa,
said he was not disturbed because of the postponement of the elections.
He expressed the hope that INEC would abide by the new dates
fixed for the conduct of the elections.
The INEC had on Saturday shifted the conduct of the
Presidential and National Assembly elections to Feb. 23.
The governorship, house of assembly, FCT area council
elections were also shifted from March 2 to March 9.
