NIGERIA DECIDES: SHIFTING ELECTIONS UNWISE, UNTIMELY CEPEJ BOSS, Mulade Tells INEC

"Be Peaceful And Hopeful That Things Will Ultimately Turn Out To Be Good"
... Mulade Tells Aggrieved Parties Over Postponement of Elections.



The National Coordinator Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, Comrade Sheriff Mulade has reacted to the postponement of the February 16 Presidential / National Assembly and March 2 Governorship elections to February 23 and March 9 respectively.

Comrade Mulade, while  expressing his displeasure over the postponement of the election, described it as untimely and unwise for INEC to postpone the general elections in the wee hours for Nigerians about going to cast their ballots, adding that  It has shown lack of sincerity  and commitment on every body involved in the conduct of the exercise.

He however opined that,  "if the decision to postpone the election would douse tension because it is better to postpone than have an inconclusive election that may metamorphose into anarchy".

Mulade enjoined all Nigerians especially the aggrieved, to be peaceful and hopeful that things will ultimately turn out to be good.

The CEPEJ Boss who is also an environmentalist and peace advocate strongly advised and appealed to parties involved in the electioneering process to assist in calming their supporters nerves over  the postponement of the polls, urging various political party leaders to use the opportunity to address  Nigerians on  what they have to offer to the country.

He frowned at the incessant killings in some parts of Delta state, called on the governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to arrest the ugly situation before it goes beyond control, just as he sued for peaceful coexistence among various ethic groups in the state.
