'Polling Unit Closures Are Insignificant': Nigerian Analysts

Nigerian political experts say a recent decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission to close 240 polling units across the nation during the February 25 elections due to security concerns, will have no impact on the outcome of the elections. Experts also say the closed polling units account for less than 0.1 % of the overall units and add that there are still over 100 thousand units that will be ready to facilitate February’s election.
