ABUJA, June 26 (Reuters) - Nigeria called on Zimbabwe on Thursday to postpone a presidential run-off vote due to be held on Friday, saying it was doubtful that a credible poll could be held under the current circumstances.

"Nigeria joins the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and well meaning friends of Zimbabwe in calling for postponement of the run-off elections," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. (Reporting by Camillus Eboh; Writing by Nick Tattersall)
