Some Christians in Nigeria would not participate in tomorrow election as it conflicts with their day of worship.
The Christians are the Seventh Day Adventist Church which regards Saturday as a day of worship.
Already about 4,817 members have petitioned INEC on why elections should not hold on Saturday.
Instead this group of Christians have suggested between Monday and Thursday.
The Pond News understands that Friday is a day of worship for moslems and Sunday for majority of Christians.
The petition titled ‘General Elections and the Religious Rights of Seventh Day Sabbath keepers in Nigeria’ is already with INEC.
Part of the petition reads :’As responsible citizens, we, therefore, call on all well meaning Nigerians to join their voice with ours, (Sabbath keepers) in keeping elections away from Saturdays, at least to guarantee the inalienable rights of teaming members of our faith.
As it is, we consider Saturday a date with God, yet we want to participate in our Civic duties as patriotic citizens.’
