Unconfirmed breaking news have shown that the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC has postponed the 2015 presidential and lesgislative elections by two weeks.
According to the reports,this is to enable the multinational forces to properly secure the Boko Haram ravaged region of North Easten part of Nigeria before elections can hold in those areas.
An un-named official told AP that millions would have been disenfranchised if the polls were conducted as initially planned, while the insurgents continue to control some cities in that region, with over 1.5 million people displaced from their homes.
More Military strikes are expected in the coming days, even as troops from Chad and Nigeria have forced the extremists from a dozen towns in recent days.
INEC are expected to make an official announcement at a press conference later on Saturday.
