Nigeria Election 2019: Appeal For Calm After Shock Delay by Lite9ja(m): 11:32am On Feb 17, 2019
Nigeria's president and leading opposition candidate have appealed for calm after the shock move to delay elections for a week.

President Muhammadu Buhari said he was "deeply disappointed" but urged people to refrain from "civil disorder".

Main rival Atiku Abubakar called for patience but accused the administration of "antidemocratic acts".

Election officials cited "logistical" reasons for the 11th-hour delay in presidential and parliamentary polls.

In a press conference on Saturday, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec), Mahmood Yakubu, said the decision to delay had "nothing to do with political influence".
