Osun Election: S’East To Boycott 2019 Presidential Elections…Apologises To IPOB
The Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, has condemned what it described as the brazen rigging of the governorship election in Osun State, saying that the region will not vote in the 2019 presidential election as the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has made it impossible for people’s vote to count.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Deputy Leader of ECA and the Secretary, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, after a meeting of the group in Enugu, yesterday.
The statement read, “The horror of the brazenly manipulated Osun rerun elections confirms the fears of all and sundry, that this inept government, will never allow a free, fair and credible presidential elections next year.
“The daylight robbery in Edo plus the brutal show of force in Ekiti, both warned the world of what to expect in 2019.
“The macabre dance of shame in Osun, has removed whatever doubts remaining in our minds, that 2019 elections will be sham elections.
“The ruthless use of security forces to oppress and intimidate supporters of the opposition, the clear employment of the army, the police, the Department of State Services, DSS, and other government security agencies in open aid of the ruling party, plus the subtle endorsement of vote-buying, all, have made it impossible for us to have confidence in the electoral process as managed by the present arrogant government.
“Accordingly, we find it difficult to cue in the hot sun to cast our votes, only for a vicious cabal with a born-to-rule mentality,to ensure our votes do not count.
‘Therefore, we are shouting it out loud, we will boycott the presidential elections. Our people desirous of voting in local elections (governorship and state assembly) may vote, if they so wish. But we will boycott presidential elections in order to allow General Buhari rule his Nigeria with iron fist until he is 130 years old.
“Now we know why all military and security agencies are deliberately placed in control of one particular region, now we know why the 97%/5% policy of the central government is implemented with single mindedness.
“Because decision has already been taken, that votes will not count, even INEC has also been placed under total control of the ruling party. Why would any sensible person, bother to go out to vote.
“The confidence of the people in the electoral process, has been completely destroyed by the armed robbery that was Osun Rerun election.
The fact that the perpetrators of this heist, are boastful about it, confirms that we are in big trouble as a country.
“Going through the brigandage and pillage of the former ruling party, only to fall into the hands of this ruthless and vicious cabal, is a costly mistake.
We hereby apologise to the IPOB, who saw clearly, earlier than anybody, that this inept government do not have the intention to ever conduct fair and credible elections.”

Oh! That is beautiful!! Have their votes ever mattered? They could burn their votes, for all Buhari cares.
Just when you thought education equates to wisdom, IPOB proves you wrong.

Give us a REFERENDUM

Now who are you asking to give you referendum? Nigeria or Buhari? Do you know that there is nothing like referendum to secede in the Nigerian constitution? Secession is a treasonable crime in our constitution. All those politicians telling you that they will call for referendum if elected, are deceivers. Nigeria can only be restructured, any referendum for secession of any part is unconstitutional and cannot be entertain.

Habibu Hamisu Ibrahim the international community will surely come for the referendum and no northern cow can do anything about that, no criminal constitution will be against that, the UN will quickly intervene for a speedy referendum to avoid the lost of life by northern criminals.

Amb Aliu Olalekan Abayomi But you have already demeaned yourself by insulting an entire ethnic group. Setting politics and ethnic bigotry apart, Igbos are the most populous ethnic group in Africa. In Nigeria Igbos are more in number. So if votes do count, they got the numerical strength to either vote in Or vote out any contestant. Northerners are just making false claim about their population. Yoruba is the second largest ethnic groups in Nigeria after Igbo. Within you, you can attest to what I have just put down. Though you might not accept it openly.
