The National Council of States meeting at the end of the eight-hour meeting decided not to postpone February general elections.
The members of the council insisted the general elections must continue as scheduled.
The participants also said that polls could be rescheduled in troubled zones, areas destroyed by the Boko Haram terrorists.
Nigerians had watched out for the result of the meeting all day giving the supposed plan by Federal government to make INEC to shift the polls.
Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan was lead over the Council of State meeting, where national issues bordering on the nation’s security and the elections were deliberated upon.
All former Presidents and Heads of State — Shehu Shagari, Yakubu Gowon, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Interim National Government President Ernest Shonekan — except Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, were at the meeting.
