A mild tussle ensued on Wednesday at a special briefing in Washington
DC when members of an American pre-election mission disputed claims by
two Nigerian security chiefs that their delegation endorsed postponement
of the elections.
Giving updates on preparations for the re-scheduled elections,
Ambassador Ayodele Oke, Director-General of the National Intelligence
Agency, and Rear-Admiral Gabriel E. Okoi, Director of Defence
Intelligence, said the Nigerian government has overcome most of the
security and logistic problems that led to the postponement of the
election.
