INEC postpones Edo polls

 

The Edo State governorship election has been postponed this evening.

Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after a prolonged meeting decided to postpone the election by two weeks.

An earlier security report had suggested the postponement which later came after a security meeting held in Benin, the state capital.

INEC officials are to address the press at a conference later.

Opposition Peoples Democratic Party has continued to kick while the security report filtered through to the public.

A new date of Wednesday 28th September has been fixed.
