President Goodluck Jonathan, Saturday, cut short his two days visit to his state, Bayelsa, to preside over an emergency security meeting to discuss issues relating to the National Assembly polls now postponed till tomorrow.

An insider at the Presidential Villa said the security meeting which kicked-off around 9:00 p.m. may have dragged on till late in the night, as Jonathan, who arrived Abuja at about 4:00 p.m., was worried that something must be done fast to tackle the challenges that gave rise to the shifted polls initially billed for yesterday.

The source disclosed that Mr. President was very sad because he believes that his integrity and honour are at stake if he fails to conduct credible polls in his time as the Nigeria leader.
