"The Nigerian presidency is currently engaged in the bribery of small political parties who are billed to meet with the Independent National Electoral Commission Saturday to discuss possible postponement of the forthcoming elections," Premium Times has said.

The paper places their sources in the selfsame presidency.

A presidential source told the newspaper that on Friday night, presidential officials distributed cash amounts ranging from $30,000-$50,000 to other parties asking them to "push aggressively for the postponement of the elections on Saturday."

A source said: “A large chunk of the dollars have also been budgeted to bribe some of the RECs to vote for the shifting of the election."

Meanwhile we have received news that the elections have been postponed by six weeks.
