Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, residents of Imo State have been advised on measures to prevent rigging in their polling stations.

A coalition of Imo indigenes in the diaspora urged residents of the state to use their phones to collect evidence of any attempt to rig the election after casting their votes.

Chief Michael Okoroeze, leader of the coalition, urged residents to storm the streets and protest over any attempt to rig Saturday’s election across Imo State.

In a statement he signed, Okoroeze urged electorates to use Saturday’s election to correct some of the evils witnessed in the state over the years.

He said, “Vote, and after you vote, use your phone to collect evidence and share it. If anyone tries to rig the election by tampering with the ballot boxes, come out into the streets of Imo State and protest and march to demand that your votes be counted properly.

“If the Nigerian court system tries to interfere, you must protest to let them know that they should stay out of the election process.

“Protect your vote, Imo Indigenes will exercise their right to vote for their choice of candidate, and the Supreme Court of Nigeria should respect themselves and honor these rights.”

Okoroeze also advised state residents on the need to file out and perform their civic duties on Saturday.

He said residents should vote to end extrajudicial executions, “vote for arrests of innocent citizens to cease, vote for rapes to stop in Igbo land because this is an atrocity, vote for harassments at illegal checkpoints and roadblocks to stop, vote for bribery and corruption to cease. We must not hesitate to remind you of some of the atrocities that have been taking place in our state.”

Someone's Calabash was stolen, yet the person keep on shouting, I have my mark on it, I have my mark on it.

No be when you see the calabash before you go see the mark?

That's to the Imolites

Unknown gunmen should ensure there's free and fair election. With Hope Uzodinma on the ballot, that election will be war!

Okay.

They should use phone to record and share rigging attempts by apc. That is a very good advice and I urge imolites to take this piece of advice seriously.

But the question now is; are the rigging by headless mobs who have been tasked to do this not going to be called rigging?

Because during presidential elections, there was "no rigging in the entire SE" where pitobi won 99.9%. Rigging only occurred where pitobi was beaten blue black such as NE NW SW and NC.

Then expect casualties from both the unknown and the known gun men

Is there anywhere in the news apc was mentioned? Or are u guys allergic to anything free and fair?
They said video and record any attempt on rigging, why is it paining you?
If imo people say they don't want apc, how is that your business
Can't you face front and enjoy the portfolio tinubu gave you

After the blackout orchestrated by Laboured in vain party to hinder and hamper the will of the imolite
Where do you expect them to charge the phone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

INEC party is against use of phones.

stop the rigging don't just record it cos the court will rule against the making of such video as cloned.

Imo people vote wisely on saturday o. Dont go and vote for someone that will be killing your brothers, uncles, parents and youths of imo state all in name of fighting Ipob.

Shine your eyes on saturday.

Why are you people yet to understand that those recordings are useless in election. Elections are never won through voting except where the umpire is neutral and the President has no interest. Hope Uzodinma shall be declared winner no matter what and nothing will come out of the useless recordings .
