News: INEC to meet today to decide shift in election date

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has
fixed separate meetings with chairmen and secretaries of
all registered political parties, and resident electoral
commissioners [RECs] for Saturday to decide whether to go
ahead with the general elections scheduled for February 14
and 28.
A statement Friday by Kayode Idowu, the spokesperson for
the INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, said after the meetings,
“the Commission will address a press conference to brief
the nation on its decision with regard to whether or not the
general elections will hold as currently scheduled.”
Mr. Jega had on Thursday briefed the National Council of
States on the preparedness of the Commission to conduct
the 2015 general elections.
He made a presentation titled “Preparations for the 2015
General Elections: Progress Report”.
The National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the
nation’s services chiefs also briefed the Council on the
current security situation in the North-East.
Mr. Jega told the Council that his commission was in a
better position to conduct election at present compared to
its state of preparedness for the 2011 election.
“Compared with the 2011 General Elections, for instance,
our systems are definitely more robust. We believe that we
are ready for the elections as planned,” Mr. Jega said. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
