As the highly anticipated EdoDecides2024 election approaches, the Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization team has taken to their official X (formerly Twitter) handle to issue crucial guidelines for voters, urging them to safeguard their votes and ensure transparency throughout the electoral process. Their message emphasizes the power of grassroots vigilance in ensuring a free and fair election.
In their statement, they outlined five key points every voter should keep in mind on election day:
1. Monitor the BVAS System: Voters are encouraged to be proactive and ensure that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials upload election results in their presence. This call aims to prevent any tampering or delay that could undermine the integrity of the results.
2. Verify Your Ballot: A strong reminder was given not to accept unsigned ballot papers. Every voter is urged to double-check their ballot for validity to prevent any disqualification of their vote.
3. Stay Vigilant: Voters should keep a close eye on the activities of security personnel at polling stations. Ensuring that law enforcement operates impartially is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of the electoral process.
4. Exercise Your Right: The mobilization team passionately urged voters to cast their ballots, reminding them that the power of democracy lies in the hands of the people. “Don’t let others decide for you,” the message stated, reiterating the importance of every single vote.
5. Cast Your Vote & Stay: Lastly, voters are advised not to leave after casting their votes. By staying at the polling unit, they can keep watch over the entire process until results are declared, ensuring greater accountability and transparency.
As Edo State heads to the polls, the message from Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization is clear: active participation and vigilance are the keys to safeguarding democracy. The eyes of the nation will be on Edo, and it is up to the voters to ensure their voice is heard and their vote is protected.
