Battle to vote out Buhari, APC begins Tuesday – Secondus
has charged Nigerian voters to troop out to their various polling
booths to check their names as the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, displays voters register at all polling units across
the country from Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
Secondus said that the desire to rescue Nigeria from the 'clueless'
APC government would be meaningless if everything pertaining to voting
is not sorted out.
According to a statement by his media adviser, Ike Abonyi, the
National Chairman said the essence of the display as stipulated by the
electoral act is to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised and this
is the first step to avoid it.
He said that cross-checking and confirming the details ahead of the
election is a mechanism put in place to reduce attempts by the
electoral umpires to manipulate the system by saying that names of
voters are not available.
"By cross-checking and re-cross checking, the voters wittingly would
have begun the battle to frustrate rigging of the election.
Secondus urged voters who noticed issues with their particulars to cry
out loudly immediately by going to the electoral centers to complain
for rectification.
He said that part of the rigging strategy of the APC working in
agreement with some INEC staff is to doctor voter's lists in the
opponent's strongholds to reduce their electoral advantage.
Secondus said that the unanimity by majority of Nigerians that
President Muhammadu Buhari and "his ruling APC should be chased out of
our political lives would have no meaning if we are not ready with the
necessary weapon( our PVC) to do that.
"Please note that if you have a PVC and your name is not on the
register, you are as good as a person who has gone into a contest he
did not register for and expecting a positive result.
Prince Secondus said that Nigerian voters should not take anything for
granted if their desire to rescue democracy is to be realized.
"If your team is going into a match you are sure you are better than
your opponent and you are not sure of the neutrality of the referee,
you need to play well win fair and square and block any room for
manipulation"
