He noted that with the postponement, Nigerians had been subjected to huge shock.
The APC National Chairman said INEC ought to have given at least 48 hours notice on the postponement of the poll rather than allow the parties to bear the huge cost of mobilisation.
“Why do you have to wait to announce the postponement at 2.00am when Nigerians are sleeping? You have more explanation to make. It is a huge shock, you have embarrassed us as a country. APC demands an apology from INEC,” he said.
