Nigeria vote will not be postponed further: national security advisor
Nigeria's general election will not be postponed past March 28, National Security Advisor Sambo Dasuki told AFP Monday, after he successfully lobbied for a poll delay because of Boko Haram violence.
"Those dates will not be shifted again," Dasuki said when asked if the polls, initially scheduled for February 14, could be pushed back further.
Dasuki urged election officials to postpone the vote on grounds that the military could not provide nationwide election security because all available resources were being deployed to the northeast to fight Boko Haram.
