Postponement Of Election
Some Abuja residents this morning stormed the
Unity Fountain to protest the alleged plans by
the Government to stop INEC from
conducting
the forthcoming 2015 general elections by
asking the body to postpone it.
The protest which was organized by the civic
group, National Consensus Movement and
commenced from the Unity Fountain, saw
protesters marching in the directions of Eagle
Square, a premium event centre in the state,
but as they filed past the Federal Secretariat,
the protesters were blocked by officers of the
Nigeria police, who asked them to go back.

Not deterred by their presence, the protesters
carrying different placards which reads;
“Nigerians say no to postponement, we want
election”.
“Democracy must survive.”
“Our vote of confidence to Jega. Give us
elections. February 14.”
“Election must hold on 14th of February” and
“GEJ, you claimed you have done 20,000km of
roads,
why are you afraid of elections?” went on
chanting, “ Election must hold, Election must
hold.”
