In Nigeria, the national election was postponed hours before polls were due to open.
The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, told that the one-week delay is needed to hold a free and fair election. Consequently, the commissioners decided to reschedule the presidential and national assembly elections to 23rd of February
Opposition leaders called the move a dangerous ploy to keep President Muhammadu Buhari in power. Buhari urged Nigerians to remain calm and to refrain from civil disorder.
