According to him, ”The postponement at the die minute is justified, because there is no smoke without fire. INEC officials were just smart to say logistics, but when you go underneath, there are some issues that they cannot explain to everyone.

”After elections, they may make a lot of arrests, a lot of revelations will come out due to the postponement.”
