Is It Right To Fix Election Primaries On National Independence Day? by Niorte: 8:03pm On Sep 30, 2018
Nigeria celebrates its independence every year on October 1st, both in the capital Abuja and 36 states. The President broadcasts a live speech on television and radio to mark the commencement of Independence Day celebrations. There will be flag raising ceremony to honor the nation. The armed forces parades with cultural dances are followed after the Presidential speech. The dance troops, singers, students from all states take part in the Independence Day celebration. On this day homage is paid to the freedom fighters and other national leaders who fought for the independence of Nigeria from the colonial rule. The celebration is an ideal platform for national integration in Nigeria.

I don't know the deadline given to all parties to conduct their primaries. But I find it insensitive of the APC-led Federal Government to shift gubernatorial primaries to Nigerian Independence Day.

I maintained that Sunday was not a good choice because it is a religious day for the Christian, I also believe Monday would have been a better day save for the Independence Day. APC should have thought deeply especially as politicians

If Otedola contests for Governor from PDP & the party finds a way to “omisore” Ambode, it will be tough for APC in Lagos next year.... unless they “Osun” the election. grin

They declare public holiday but they are doing their own political work.
