The United Nations has urged the Nigerian government to ensure the sanctity of new dates for its general elections, amid increasing concerns the government may yet again move the crucial polls from March 28 and April 11.
The general elections were shifted from February 14 and 28 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over security fears.

Many Nigerians and the international community have urged the government to ensure the polls are not shifted the second time. The main opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC, says the government instigated the first shift to avoid the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan at the polls.

In a statement Friday, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, “strongly” urged the Nigerian government and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to respect the new dates and ensure there are no further shifts.
“Following the postponement of general elections in Nigeria to 28 March and 11 April, the Secretary-General strongly urges the Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure these new dates are maintained, in accordance with the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution,” a statement by the world body said.
Mr. Ban’s statement came days after the head of INEC, Attahiru Jega, told Nigerian Senators he could not commit to the sanctity of the new dates for the elections, saying that was outside the powers of the electoral body.
Speaking Thursday, President Goodluck Jonathan said the elections will hold as scheduled by INEC.

The United Nations Secretary General, Mr. Ban, welcomed the president’s commitment to the new calendar.
He commended the progress made by INEC in the preparation for the elections, including the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards.

He urged all relevant national institutions to continue to work with INEC to ensure all voters can exercise their constitutional right to participate in the elections freely and without intimidation.

The Secretary-General expressed strong concern over reports of election-related violence.
He urged all political leaders to adhere to their commitments under the Abuja Accord, to refrain from inflammatory statements and to immediately condemn any statements from their supporters that amount to an incitement to violence or subversion of the electoral process.
The Secretary-General reiterated to Nigerians that the United Nations will be closely following developments and is offering its full support to Nigeria at this important moment.

I tot this election was shifted because INEC was not ready, and in the true sense of it, they were not ready, if that election was conducted, it would ve been the worst in history of Nigeria, cos INEC would be held responsible for the massive rigging.

This is an international organization commending our INEC official for a job Weldon and encourages them to be better

But, our parties especially PDP will always say negative things about them instead of commending them and their supporters always follow suit

Technically,elections can still be shifted there's nothing anyone can do about it aside bluff and then keep mum afterwards because it is constitutional. only May 29 Is sacrosanct. UN should mind their own business.

What if we postpone the election so what?

it seems this people don't know that the earlier date was a disaster about to happen . though I have my PVC and ready to vote GEJ. my cousin don't have his. Yet he voted in 2011. funny enough he is one of the buhari faithful.

with Cross river state PVC initially in Kebbi state, with INEC staff being sacked for denying non indigenes of Lagos State there PVC and 400000 PVCs for Lagos state yet to reach Lagos?

There must be something sinister going on here. I refuse to agree that the UN is saying this. If so then it is most unfortunate as their Objectivity have been crushed by the alarm of APC.

UN can go to hell


We shall conduct our election and GEJ will win.

You mean a sovereign nation should postponed her general election because of one terrorist's threat?! shocked are you for real? When did we sink to this level? Smh.. Elections must hold March 28th and April 11th. No terrorist can stop us! Countries like Afganistan, Iraq, Somalia, etc hold elections during war not to talk of us battling some ragtag militias occupying few local government areas..
