Nigerians have continued to express shock and disappointment over the postponement of the general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Perhaps some of those most affected by the development, are those who had fixed key events on the dates which the elections have been rescheduled to.
One of such persons is a couple in Plateau, Jos, who had fixed their wedding on February 23 with the hopes that the elections would have held successfully on Saturday (February 16).
The couple-to-be, Smart and Grace shared their plight with Channels Television.
They say family members who are not based in Jos, had begun travelling down in preparation for the wedding only to be greeted with the shocking news of the postponement in early hours of Saturday.
