FLASHBACK: How Buhari Criticized INEC And PDP Government For Postponing 2015 Elections (Video)

President Muhammadu Buhari heavily criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government for postponing the 2015 general elections.

On February 8, 2015, six days away from the election day, INEC postponed the February 14 presidential election by six weeks over insecurity.


The elections commission chief, Attahiru Jega, said the delay until 28 March was necessary because of heightened insecurity that could affect the safety of election personnel, voters and materials, especially in the troubled North-east region.



Few days to the election when it started becoming clear that it would be postponed, Mr. Buhari criticized the commission for considering postponement.
