#NigeriaDecides: Should the February 2015 elections be postponed?



There are some claims that the Directorate of Security Services DSS in conjunti oin with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is plotting to postpone the 2015 elections.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed, stated this in Lagos yesterday at a press conference at the Data Centre where he also presented the staff members of the centre arrested by the DSS during the raid last week.
He described the “findings” by the DSS as part of the ongoing efforts by the Jonathan Administration to postpone next month’s general elections. 

“Having seen the handwriting on the wall vis-a-vis the growing rejection of the PDP by Nigerians, the Jonathan Administration has gone into a panic mode, while embarking on a plan to postpone the elections,” he said.

He also alleged that the DSS, which is working with the PDP, thought that its report that the APC planned to hack into the voters’ registration Data Base of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would raise doubts about the integrity of the voter’s register to be used for the forthcoming polls, thereby forcing a postponement of the elections since the existing register cannot be used.

What if the February election was postponed?
