Nigeria opposition up in arms after elections postponed
Published on: February 17, 2019 08:00 (EAT)
Nigeria opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar on Saturday said, without giving evidence, that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration hoped to disenfranchise the country’s electorate by delaying the election.
He made the comment in a tweet, one of a number of messages on his Twitter feed in which he reacted to the electoral commission’s decision to delay the presidential election by a week. It is now scheduled to take place on Feb. 23.
Buhari’s spokesman Garba Shehu declined to comment
