Nigeria Disappointed: Last Minute Postponement of Elections

BBC World Service - Newshour, Nigeria Disappointed: Last Minute Postponement of Elections

Nigeria delays its elections on the same day they were due to take place

Nigeria has delayed its elections on the same day they were due to take place. There are now fears that people who have spent money and made the effort to travel to polling stations may think twice before doing it again when they are rescheduled in a week's time.

Also on the programme; the dismissal of a senior US Cardinal after multiple claims of child abuse, and the standoff on the Colombian-Venezuelan border
