The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the governorship and state assembly elections till March 18.

The exercise was previously scheduled to hold on March 11.

However, INEC, after citing a logistics crisis stemming from BVAS configuration and transportation, said that the election could not hold again as scheduled following a meeting of its executives on Wednesday evening, March 8.

A source, while confirming the development, stated that, “The elections were postponed to allow one more week for proper preparation.

“We should be able to get everything in order before March 18.”

Meanwhile, the meeting was still underway at the INEC headquarters in Abuja at the time of filing this report.
