The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has expressed shock at the last minute postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections scheduled to hold last Saturday.
In a statement issued by the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, said that the Congress shares in the pains of those who show an uncommon spirit of patriotism by travelling long distances to perform their civic duty and the outrage of those who had incurred huge and unquantifiable logistic costs.
He said there was no explanation good enough by INEC to justify the sudden postponement due to the repeated assurances from it and the zeal of Nigerians to cast their votes.
He, however, said that given the fact that had the election taken place, a huge number of Nigerians would have been disenfranchised on account of gross and wide-spread logistic deficit, the postponement, as painful as it is, is a lesser evil of the two.
