Keep hope alive, Tinubu tells Nigerians
Former governor of Lagos state and co-chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to keep faith in the nation’s political system and not to be discouraged from coming out to vote on February 23 because of the postponement.
The APC’s national leader said this in a statement sent to Daily Times by his media team Sunday. The statement was signed by Tinubu himself who was reacting to the poll shift.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the poll shift, saying the Independent National Electoral Commission ought not to have waited until the election-day before taking the decision which would have lessened the feeling of disappointment expressed by Nigerians. He however urging them to troop out and vote on February 23.
“We are also perplexed that INEC literally waited so late in the day to make known the obstacles preventing it from keeping faith to the election schedule. INEC could have and should have given the nation more ample and earlier warning. This could have perhaps lessened the pervasive disappointment that we all now feel. It also would have helped people to better order their steps
“Do not allow this delay to deter you from the expression of your democratic rights. What you had set your mind to do on February 16, keep your mind and heart on for February 23,” he stated.
