Olanrewaju, now a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Lagos State in this interview reviews issues emanating from the shift of the elections among other things.
What was your reaction to the shift of the elections?
If we really want a free and fair election, we must create a conducive environment for it. And I believe that the last two or three weeks for INEC have been a very, very difficult time for them not being able to meet the responsibility of ensuring that most people have access to their PVCs. And it would be unfair to the large segment of Nigerians to be denied the opportunity to exercise their rights of voting. So, that alone is a positive thing towards ensuring that there is a free, fair and transparent election. But on the other hand, the issue of security is something beyond INEC. It is beyond our own understanding because in the last few days we now have other foreign forces working together with us in ensuring that we are able to tackle this problem once and for all.
