Nigeria postpones February 14 Elections; This is According to a Breaking News Report by the Associated Press (AP). on Twitter
The February 14 Presidential and legislative elections is postponed for six weeks to give a new multinational force time to secure northeastern areas under the sway of Boko Haram.
Millions could be disenfranchised if the voting went ahead while the Islamic extremists hold a large swath of the northeast and commit mayhem that has driven 1.5 million people from their homes.
A postponement also will give electoral officials more time to deliver some 30 million voter cards.
The commission had said the non-delivery of cards to nearly half of the 68.8 million registered voters was not a good reason to delay the vote.
