In a press release, the media organization hinged the reason for the postponement on the provisions of the Electoral Act and INEC Guidelines for 2023.

The statement released then read: “The decision came after a review of the Electoral Act and INEC Guidelines for 2023 elections by our legal team.

“The team advised that the scheduled event may be interpreted to be a violation of both the Act and the Guidelines, hence, the decision to discontinue the unveiling event.

“A new date that aligns with both the Act, and the Guidelines will be communicated later.
