Following the concerns raised by the opposition\u00a0 parties that they were not ready for the National Assembly polls postponed to Monday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will meet with the parties today.<\/p>\n

Separately, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) had urged the commission to move the polls to Saturday, April 9, to enable them mobilise funds to pay agents and meet\u00a0 other logistics.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the issue, Mr. Kayode Idowu, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega, said, \u201cIf you listened to the chairman\u2019s speech, he said INEC will meet with stakeholders and the political parties to seek their understanding. So, they are to meet before the elections on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if there would be a public holiday on Monday, he said: \u201cINEC does not declare public holidays. It is the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
