Nigeria - Indications are emerging that the Edo governorship election scheduled for Saturday may be shifted following security advice.
Though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was yet to take a decision on the matter after a crucial meeting with all the political and state actors, the Commission has assured Nigerians that its independence will not be compromised.
The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi in a text response to an inquiry by our correspondent stated,
“We have just met again with the stakeholders where various pieces of advice were given by them.”
INEC then decided that it would be necessary for it to consult with both the DSS and the Police that issued a statement earlier Wednesday to find out what informed their decision to issue that statement.
Thereafter, INEC will take a decision that will be communicated to all Nigerians. However, the Commission wishes to assure all Nigerians that its independence will not be compromised.”
