National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun advised Nigerians not to fall into a trap set by the ruling People Democratic Party (PDP) government through what he called, provocative postponement of the general elections from February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11.
In a statement reacting to the postponement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Chief Oyegun described the postponement as a big set back to the nation’s democracy.
“This is clearly a major setback for Nigerian democracy. Though what has happened is highly provocative, I strongly appeal to all Nigerians to remain calm and desist from violence and any activity which will compound this unfortunate development.
“We must not fall into this obvious trap. Change we must. They can only delay it; No one can stop it.”
He assured Nigerians that APC would not abandon its commitment to change and that would sustain the struggle to establish a new Nigeria. [myad]
