We Must Conduct Elections As Scheduled By INEC- President Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan
has declared that: “we must
conduct elections as scheduled
by INEC”. He said this at the
commissioning of 4 new ships in
the fleet of the Nigerian
Navy;NNS CENTENARY, NNS
OKPABANA, NNS PROSPERITY
a
nd NNS SAGBAMA.
Expressing confidence in the
armed forces to “route” Boko
Haram, the president
commended the military for
their recent successes against
insurgents and reduction in
theft of crude oil whilst
condemning increased
vandalism of gas pipelines that
have affected electricity
generation and supply.
This declaration by President
Jonathan on holding the
elections as scheduled by the
Independent National Electoral
Commission comes a day after
its Chairman, Professor
Attahiru Jega declared in the
Senate that he could not
guarantee that elections would
hold on March 28 due to factors
beyond his control.
This had created apprehension
about the electoral process and
what might happen if elections
don’t hold as scheduled.
