Convener of the Save Nigeria Group,
SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare has called for the postponement of the 2015 general
elections by six months to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
review the election timetable as well as the imminent disenfranchisement of
Nigerians following its inability to distribute the Permanent Voters’ Cards, PVC.
He spoke in Lagos yesterday in his State of the Nation’s
address with the theme, The Gathering Storm and Avoidable Shipwreck: How to
Avoid Catastrophic Euroclydon, at his church, the Latter Rain Assembly.
Warning of impending dangers for the
country if the warning signals were ignored, Bakare said the only way to avert
the storm was to urgently address some fundamental flaws in the polity.
“I must state that the proposal for
suspension of elections is not with a view to giving the president an avenue
for undue tenure elongation but for the purpose of building a coalition that
will bring lasting solutions to our problems.
“I have clearly painted a picture of
where we are, a disaster is ahead of us. If the northerner emerges as winner,
whether he has won that election fair and square or not, people will allege
rigging. If Jonathan wins the election, fair and square, they will allege that
hie used his power of incumbency to rig the election.
