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 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.
