Kinglsey Moghalu: Election postponement shows APC, PDP failures

Kingsley Moghalu, the presidential candidate of the Young
Progressives Party (YDP) has urged Nigerians to remain calm
following the postponement of the general elections.

Mr Moghalu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday,
that INEC’s postponement of the elections signposted the recycling
of failure under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said the general elections were also postponed in 2015 under
the PDP government, and that Nigerians should remain calm and
resolute to vote for a new kind of leadership.

INEC postponed the presidential election and election into the
National Assembly slated for today, and elections for the
governorship and the state Houses of Assembly, originally slated
for March 2nd, by one week.

Mr Moghalu, who expressed disappointment with the development,
described it as burdensome with serious implications.

“School children will now face further disruptions to the school
calendar. Economic activities will suffer further setbacks,” he
said.

“And Nigerians who have travelled to various parts of the
country to vote or monitor the elections that would have held today
now face logistical nightmares.

“I would like to thank the teeming volunteers of my campaign and
supporters of our party, the YPP, for their service to our country.
Let us ensure this election is a watershed for the liberation of
our country from the vice-like grip of incompetence and lack of
vision.

“I remain committed to providing our country the needed
visionary and competent leadership,” Mr Moghalu said.
