Three political associations – the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) – have objected to the suspension of yesterday\u2019s elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/span><\/p>\n

While the CNPP said the suspension was unwarranted and unpardonable, ACN and CPC rejected the INEC\u2019s decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

CNPP, in a statement by its National Secretary, Osita Okechukwu, said \u201cThe postponement is an unwarranted false start and has levied unwarranted huge cost to the Nigerian people. It is highly regrettable and unpardonable in spite of the apology tendered by Professor Attahiru Jega.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cQuestions! Questions! Questions! Hy is it that Prof Jega and his team failed to postpone the election on Thursday or Friday when they noticed that the vendor has failed to deliver on schedule; in other words, that the materials will not be on the ground as scheduled?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The ACN, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said \u201cWe reject this unilateral decision by INEC to fix the postponed National Assembly election for Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new date does not give us enough time toremobilise our agnets and put in place the necessary logistics. The only day between Saturday and Monday is Sunday, when banks do not open. Where doe he expects us to get the funds to mobilize our agents for Monday election?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CPC\u2019s Presidential candidate, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari said it was impossible for INEC to solve the problems that informed its suspension of the election within two days.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe election was a shame. It showed the shoddy arrangement made by INEC, despite the huge resources voted for the exercise. INEC has failed Nigerians and it should avoid committing the same error on Monday,\u201d he said<\/span><\/p>\n
