Ignore Calls To Postpone Ondo Election, CNPP Tells INEC
The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has asked the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to heed calls for
the postponement of the Ondo governorship election.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu
The organisation said: “After a
careful analysis of the political temperature of Ondo State it has
come to inevitable conclusion that the gubernatorial election scheduled
for Saturday should go ahead as planned”.
In a statement issued on Wednesday
by its new Acting National Secretary, Olawale Okunniyi, CNPP said that
the condition does not exist to warrant such appeals for suspension of
the poll.
“It is our considered opinion
that the material conditions upon which the postponement of elections
could be predicated does not substantially exist in the Ondo case;
therefore INEC should go ahead and conduct the gubernatorial election as
scheduled,” he said.
