A bride-to-be, Rita Osawende, has joined the growing list of Nigerians affected by the change in date for the general elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Saturday, postponed the presidential and national assembly elections from February 16 to February 23, and the Governorship/House Assembly/FCT Area Councils elections from March 2 to March 9.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Benin, Ms Osawende said her marriage was shifted from February 16 to February 23 because of the elections.
Osawende said that all arrangements for her big day had been concluded for next week.
The change in dates for elections means that the intending couple would have to reschedule their wedding again.
“INEC please help me revisit this issue. The original date was fixed for February 16, but as soon as I knew it’s elections day, it was postponed to February 23rd.
“What do I do; all arrangements have been made. I have printed and distributed my invitation cards for the wedding. I am so confused,” she told NAN.
