    BREAKING NEWS: Election not postponed anymore! Says INEC


    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked reports that the body was planning to postpone Saturday’s elections

    Presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled to hold in few hours.
    National
    Commissioner for Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, Mr. Festus
    Okoye, told DAILY POST Friday night that Nigerians should ignore the
    rumours.
    His words: “If stories are flying about, allow the stories to fly. What they are reporting is not true.”

    Asked
    to respond to information that INEC commissioners were in a meeting,
    Okoye said: “Yes we are in a meeting but we have not taken such
    decision.
    “This is election period and as commissioners, we meet every time”.
    Meanwhile,
    the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku
    Abubakar, said his camp had foiled a plan to rig the polls in favour of
    the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu
    Buhari.
    However, the recent development of INEC offices being set
    ablaze in Abia, Anambra, and Plateau states by ‘mysterious fire’, where
    thousands of electoral materials were burnt, could be major threat to
    the election.
    Also, earlier on Friday, the commission in Niger
    State announced that elections for the senatorial positions of Niger
    East and Niger North may not hold on Saturday as the ballot papers meant
    for the zone were missing.
