Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has called on Nigerians to shift whatever grouse they have regarding the postponement of the 2019 general election to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The governor through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, while reacting to the postponement of the 2019 Presidential and National Assembly elections also said that no political party should be vilified.
The governor asked INEC to use the one week extension to tackle the challenges that led to the postponement drama.
“Governor Rochas Okorocha, who is also the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum has called on Nigerians to show patriotism over the postponement of the Saturday, February 16, 2019 elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, stating that although the postponement was regrettable, institutions like INEC could have challenges.
“The governor also said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the ruling party is ready for elections any day and any time, stressing that no political party should be blamed for the postponement especially when it is remembered that this is not the first time such development could take place in the nation’s elections,” Onwuemeodo stated.
