Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) has urged that the general elections should hold on March 28 and April 11 as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The NPAN position was contained in a statement issued at the end of an extra-ordinary meeting of the association held in Abuja yesterday.
The statement signed by NPAN President, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, noted that the newspaper proprietors took the stand after exhaustive deliberations and review of the current political situation in the country.
The statement read: “The general elections must hold on March 28 and April 11 as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The election must produce an outcome and Nigerians must rally around whoever emerges the winner.
“This election is for and by the Nigerian people and it must be free, fair and held in such a way that it will deepen the nation’s democracy such that at the end of the electoral process, Nigeria must be the winner. We call on the people of Nigeria, especially political leaders across the nation, to eschew every form of violence. The prevalent do-or-die attitude is unnecessary, unhelpful and unhealthy for our system of democracy. We must all say ‘no’ to violence before, during and after the elections.”
