Pastor Tunde Bakare called on INEC to postpone the 2015 general elections by six months. The reason why said this is to ensure the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, review the election timetable as well as the imminent disenfrachisement of Nigerians following its inability to distribute the Permanent Voter’s cards, (PVC).

Bakare talks about “The Gathering Storm and Avoidable Shipwreck: How to avoid Catastrophic Euroclydon” at his church, the Latter Rain Assembly yesterday, January 4, 2014.

According to Vanguard, Bakare said the only way to avert the storm is to urgently address and rectify some fundamental flaws in the policy.

“I must state that the proposal for suspension of elections is not with a view to giving the president an avenue for undue tenure elongation but for the purpose of building a coalition that will bring lasting solutions to our problems.”

“I have clearly painted a picture of where we are, a disaster is ahead of us. If the northerner emerges as winner, whether he has won that election fair and square or not, people will allege rigging. If Jonathan wins the election, fair and square, they will allege that hie used his power of incumbency to rig the election.”
