“At the meeting presided by ADSIEC Chairman, Mallam Isa Shettima, some crucial observations were made which neccesitated the shift of election date,” Zira stated.

“Observations were made on the earlier released time table which led to some changes on the table to suit the activities of political parties,” he added.
