2019:Battle To Vote Out Buhari Begins Today, As Nig Receive Fresh Marching Order

The National Chairman of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has called on all Nigerian eligible voters, to troop out en masse to their various polling booths to check their names, as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would display voters registers at all polling units across the country, from Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Secondus stated 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 of the PDP, disclosed that 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 noted that cross-checking and confirming the details ahead of the elections, is a mechanism put in place to reduce attempts by the Electoral umpire to manipulate the system, by saying that names of voters are not available.

“By crosschecking and re-crosschecking, the voters wittingly would have begun the battle to frustrate rigging of the election.”

Secondus urged voters who notice 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 pointed out that Nigerian voters should not take anything for granted, if their desire to rescue democracy is to be realised.

“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”
