Polls postponement, a set back -APC

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has described the shift in the dates of the elections as a set back for democracy.

He said in a statement that the  commission claimed that it did this because the security agencies claimed that they needed time to fight the insurgency in the North-East region of the country.

He said, "This is clearly a major  setback for Nigerian democracy, and our party is meeting in an
emergency session to study its implications and will inform Nigerians of its decisions in the next few days.

"In the meantime 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.

"I want to assure all Nigerians  that the All Progressives Congress will not abandon its commitment to change and will sustain the struggle to establish a new Nigeria."
