Benin City- NATIONAL Chairman of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, yesterday, in Benin City, urged Nigerians to prevail on their representatives in the National Assembly not to recognise the staggering of elections as proposed by INEC, saying that it is not healthy for the country.

Onu, who made the call  at a briefing with newsmen, insisted  that the proposed staggered elections,  if allowed, were designed to have a bandwagon effect which would have great economic and political consequences.

One of such political consequences, he said, was that it would create apathy where people would lose interest and may not even want to vote again.

“Our call for election to be held one day is because we want those who occupy elective positions to be those who enjoy the will of their people. What we now have in staggered elections that will take place in three different days is designed to have a bandwagon effect.
