The claims by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria that it is ready for the elections has been dismissed by a member of the Post-Election Violence Committee set up by the President after the 2011 elections, Peter Esele.
Mr Esele told Channels Television on Tuesday that the insecurity in the north-east was not enough reason to postpone the elections, insisting that the issue of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) distribution and other logistic challenges were enough to cause a shift in the date of the elections.
The INEC had told reporters on Saturday, after series of meetings with stakeholders in the political sector, that the commission was advised by security operatives to postpone the elections, as they could not guaranty the security of lives and property in the north-east region during the elections.
