APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, speaks on election postponement

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reacted to the new election dates announced by INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega. Tinubu took to Twitter a few hours after Jega announced the postponement of the polls. According to Tinubu’s tweets,”The postponement of the Feb. 14 elections is a mere pretext by the PDP to gain time to perfect their rigging machine. Nigerians are unhappy.This is democracy at gun point. Our democracy is now at the mercy of the gun. Jega caved in to pressure and blackmail.What is new about the security situation in the last one week that has not been there in the past 3 years to warrant this postponement?

“The service chiefs are being clever by half By playing the script of the ruling party they do their profession great harm and Nigeria damage. Nigerians are not ignorant of the plots/sub plots for postponement. An incumbent that pulls all the stops to postpone elections is a loser.For the ambition of one man and his partying cronies, the rights and interest of 68 million voters are violated. There is a dictator in charge. The APC will counsel its members and Nigerians to be calm as the party processes this. We know there is no stopping the wind of change. Let’s dissect carefully what was said. Postponed not because of security situation per se but b/c army decided to go on a belated offensive.”
