Elections postponement: Nigerians should not be discouraged ― Fela Durotoye

Following the postponement of the general election by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), the presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Fela Durotoye, has expressed his dissatisfaction over the actions of the electoral body for making such decision on the election day.

He described the development as disappointing, just as he charged all Nigerians not to be discouraged over the postponement.

“I want to strengthen all Nigerians not to be disappointed nor be discouraged. This is the more reason why we need a new Nigeria, where the election will hold on time and technology will make it easy to for all Nigerians, even those in the Diaspora to vote. This is the new Nigeria that we need when things work.

“We are tired of this old Nigeria. This is why we should all decide not to be discouraged no matter all the sacrifice we have made. We have had Nigerians, even people have traveled from far and near, as well as from outside the country just to deliver a new Nigeria. This is very discouraging; we are disappointed, but we will not be discouraged,” he said.

Durotoye, also promised that all looters that have spent the funds allocated to INEC for campaigns would be brought to book if he eventually becomes the president.
