Bode George: “Why I Support Postponement Of February 2015 Elections”

Says: “I’m yet to get PVC”

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has joined the position of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki, by also calling for postponement of the February general elections. George, who addressed a press conference at his Ikoyi, Lagos residence, said he was also making the call for a shift in the polls to enable Nigerians collect their PVCs, noting that he was yet to collect his.

According to the PDP chieftain, “The NSA sees things deeper than any of us. So many people have not got their PVCs in Lagos and they will be disenfranchised. I have not collected mine. There are logistic problems, but calling for a postponement of the election does not mean it will be conducted after May 29. The NSA must ensure there is peace in the land. If we have a breather, all well and good; this will give INEC time to distribute the PVCs. I have no objection if it is done as the NSA has said. I don’t think they will postpone the elections till after May 29. His (NSA) fears are genuine because the collection of these PVCs is important.”
