Damaturu: A section of the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC), Yobe state Chapter concurred with the decision of the other faction for the postponement of the local government elections in the state.
The IPAC Secretary, Yobe State chapter Alhaji Abdullahi Bello made this in a press release on Friday in Damaturu.
A faction of IPAC under the Chairmanship of Mr Bala Mohammed on 5th September, 2023 appealed to Yobe State Independent Electoral Commission to postpone local government elections scheduled to hold November to a later time.
The IPAC Secretary, who signed this second press release said, Muhammed’s camp did not make adequate consultation to Exco members before conducting the first press briefing.
However, Bello said after extensive consultations, they also agreed that the election should be rescheduled to the most appropriate time, giving electorates the opportunity to fully participate in the campaign and election activities.
“By this, we wish to render our unreserved apology to all for our late decision.
“We take the decision to preserve the integrity of all political parties involve,” he added.
Bello commended to Gov Mai Mala Buni for ‘the all-inclusive policies’ of his administration.
“We hope and pray that your government will accept the decision to shift the local government election to another appropriate date,” the secretary added. (Flowerbudnews)
