Kwara Speaker Urges Nigerians To Vote & Defend Their Votes

The Kwara State Speaker, Razak Atunwa, during a campaign visit
to Magaji Ngeri in Ilorin has urged Nigerians to vote and defend their votes.
The speaker said the presence of armed forces at polling units is to protect
the people’s votes and urged them not to be intimidated by their presence, but
vote and wait for their votes to be counted. Hear him;

“We cannot make any change if we do not vote and defend our
votes in the forthcoming elections; we must exercise rare courage,
steadfastness and bravery to stand with our votes after casting them and ensure
the results are well documented and announced before us by the INEC officials”
he stated.

“The police and army are to protect the rights of
electorates, so we must all be aware of this fact and not be intimidated by the
presence of armed forces in our various polling units. I will wear my shirt and
jean, vote and wait until the votes are counted and announced before the
people, thus I charge you again to be fully prepared against any abnormality in
the 2015 presidential election by being brave and valiant to monitor your votes
during the coming election,” he added.
