President Goodluck Jonathan has assured Nigerians that the polls re-scheduled to hold on March 28 and April 11, 2015, would not be shifted again. The President gave the assurance in his closing remarks during the presidential debate, which held in Abuja. The debate was organised by the Nigerian Elections Debate Group. Jonathan and 11 other presidential candidates participated in the debate. The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) was absent. The President, according to Punch during his last presidential media chat, said that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, never informed him of his decision to postpone the polls after he (Jega) received a letter from the National Security Adviser calling for six weeks postponement of the elections. Jonathan, on Sunday, thanked Nigerians for showing interest in the electoral process and assured that there would be no cause to postpone the elections again.
