Postpone next month's elections - NSA Dasuki tells INEC

In new development, National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to postpone next month's general election so that the commission can completely distribute the Permanent voters card to prospective voters.

Dasuki gave this advice while speaking at London think-tank Chatham House today January 22nd. He said a postponement within the three months allowed by the law would be a good idea so that all issues bordering on the distribution of permanent voters card as well as elections holding in some part of North eastern Nigeria would be adequately addressed.
