All over the Nation, Nigerians would go out to cast their VOTES in favour of their chosen candidates.
During the past few weeks, particularly during campaigns and political rallies, there had been various degrees of violence recorded as a result of clashes between rival political parties. Some major party stalwarts have decamped to rival political parties. I wonder why they had to wait till the last minute to make this move.
The candidates made SEVERAL promises. One common promise made by all candidates is that they would revamp the power sector! We have to hold them up to their promises! We have to leave a better Nigeria for our children and their generation.
Today, Saturday 2 April, 2011 we shall be electing people to represent us in the Senate and House of Representatives. Please vote for credible representatives. Not fighters!
On Saturday 9 April, 2011, Nigerians would go out to elect a President for our great Nation. Finally, the Governorship and State Assembly Elections would be held on Saturday 16 April, 2011.
I heard in the News that between the hours of 8am to 12pm, eligible voters are expected to be at the Polling Centers for accreditation on each election day. The voting exercise would commence by 12.30pm.
Contrary to what the Inspector General of Police purportedly said, the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC) announced that voters are allowed to take their cell phones to the Polls for the purpose sending text messages to report any fraud, violence or election tampering.
Please do not engage in any form of violence at the polling centers. However, if you notice any foul play send your text messages to any of the following numbers:
0816-666-2222
0812-000-6622
0809-666-2221
Vote Right! Vote Wisely!
God bless Nigeria!
