If the presidency denied knowledge of this postponement he is a big liar. INEC have provided reports to him on the preparation of the election frequently in the past and cannot cancel the election without his knowledge. APC have concluded plans to rig this election. The night hour cancellation is not ordinary.But God who seats on the throne is watching them. Gaddafi after everything bowed and was humiliated.
