The All Progressives Congress has demanded a concrete statement from the Independent National Electoral Commission on whether the February elections will be shifted or not.

But the party also warned that no one should interfere with the conduct of the elections.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a chief of the party, said the party was not prepared to tolerate any excuses.

Baba-Ahmed, who represented the party at a parley the commission had with all the 26 registered political parties in Abuja, said INEC should double its efforts in the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards.

He said, First of all, we want INEC to make a statement, a very clear statement, that the dates, February 14 and 28 are sacrosanct. No one should interfere with the conduct of the elections on the 14th and 28th of February.

We want INEC to double its efforts to make sure that all voters get their PVCs before the elections. We want INEC to improve on voter education.

In the whole, we feel that INEC is doing its best and we encourage and support it.

This election must go on; there is no going back on these elections. This election must hold on the 14th and 28th of February. We will not tolerate any excuses.
