The Independent National Electoral Commis
sion (INEC) on Wednesday said shifting the
dates for the February general election is
currently not under consideration.
This is even as National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, on Wednesday, reaffirmed his
party’s commitment to fully participate in the
February 14 and 28, 2015 general election,
adding that it would not accept any post
ponement.
The no shift in election dates was made by
the electoral umpire in a statement refuting a
report in Reuters, a foreign news agency, that
the 2015 general election may be delayed if
the number of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs,
collected by voters is too low.
Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of INEC,
Mr. Kayode Idowu, in the rebuttal said: “I
write to refute your story in Reuters at
tributing National Commissioner of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Amina Zakari, as saying that the 2015
general elections may be delayed if the
number of Permanent Voter Cards collected by
voters is too low.
