National leader of the All Progressives Congress,
APC and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described the
postponement of the 2015 general elections by the
Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, as democracy at gunpoint. Tinubu, reacting
to the decision by the INEC via his Twitter handle,
@AsiwajuTinubu, said the INEC chairman,
Professor Attahiru Jega caved in to pressure and
blackmail.
Tinubu noted that the shift in the dates for the
general elections was a mere pretext by the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to gain time to
perfect its rigging machine.
The former Lagos State governor, who said there
was nothing new in the security situation in the
last one week that has not been there in the past
three years to warrant the postponement, accusing
security chiefs of playing the script of the PDP,
adding that Nigerians are not ignorant of the plots/
sub plots for postponement.
