Former Kwara State governor and Chairman, Senate Committee on
Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola Saraki, on Monday assured that
the National Assembly will investigate the recent postponement of
general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Saraki said: “As soon as the National Assembly
reconvenes, we will look into this issue of postponement and take steps
to ensure that our electoral process is not tampered with any further.
As leaders of this nation, it is our duty to protect our nascent
democracy.”
“While we recognize the severity of the security challenges facing
Nigeria today, sadly, these challenges are not new. It has been almost a
year since Boko Haram kidnapped 200 of our schoolgirls in Chibok.”
“Thousands
of men, women, and children have now died at the hands of Boko Haram
and thousands are displaced. However, security should not be used as an
excuse to delay our elections and obstruct democracy.”
“The delay in elections is an obstruction of democracy led by
President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP. APC has been calling for a free,
fair, and transparent elections for our country.”
“The delay in
elections hinders this call. INEC is expected to act independently but
unfortunately is being guided by government who believe they are about
to lose an election and have decided to stop the election to
re-strategize.”
