The clock appears to be ticking faster, the palpitations of the heart is almost audible to the ear as the most important date in our history, 25th February, 2023 is here upon us.
Unfortunately, the various agents of darkness whose main aim is to rig and scuttle the General elections wouldn’t stop at nothing. It’s a fight to finish for all good meaning Nigerians, especially the Obidients to ensure that they don’t have their illicit plans go through.

Below are the Possible ways they would try to rig the elections and people should look out for them.
1. THROUGH THE PRESIDING OFFICERS, PO.
At the polling units, the Compromised INEC officials MAY give you 2 Presidential ballot papers as if it is a mistake.
Pls do not thumbprint the 2 ballot papers and think that you are helping OBI.
No, it is deliberate.
2. A compromised Presiding officer would intentionally tell a voter that his accreditation is successful and issue a ballot paper which wouldn’t count after all but lead to over voting.
The BIVAS machine will accredit you once thereby leading to over voting.
What’s the effect of this?
All the Polling Units with over voting would be canceled.
That is one of the tricks they want to use to reduce OBI’S votes.
They will do this in most areas that Obi has large followership.
What You would do tomorrow :
Once you get to the Polling Unit, ensure you ask for the PO, often corp members, before the first vote would be cast, be very sure that the BVAS reads 0000.
After voting, ensure that the number of vote cast equals the number of accredited voters on the BVAS.
Make sure no single vote parity is noticed before they finally upload it to the iREV server…..
*HOW CAN YOU PREVENT OVER VOTING IN YOUR POLLING UNIT?*
*Over voting occurs when the total number of votes cast in a polling unit exceeds the total number of accredited voters.*
*The consequence of over voting is that an election will be CANCELLED in the polling unit where over voting occurs and this reduces the chances of your candidate to win that election.*
*Over voting can be due to human errors during computation of results or by deliberate manipulation by political actors in areas where their opponents have strong holds, so elections can be cancelled there.*
*We can prevent over voting by;*
*1) Ensure you are accredited with the BVAS before casting your votes.*
*Decline any request by officials, party agents and community leaders to vote without accreditation with the BVAS.*
*Insist that no voter should vote without accreditation with the BVAS. Infact, no ACCREDITATION, no VOTING!*
*2) Ensure that each voter is issued the REQUIRED number of ballot paper(s).*
*For the February 25th election, each voter should be presented with three (3) ballot papers ONLY – one for presidential, one for senatorial and one for House of Representatives elections.*
*3) Ensure the BVAS reads ZERO (i.e. 000) before the commencement of accreditation.*
*4) Ensure that the presiding officer RECORDS the actual number of accredited voters on the BVAS on the result sheet (i.e. form EC8A).*
*5) Ensure that the PO transfers/transmits the accreditation figures as recorded on the BVAS and the result sheet SIMULTANEOUSLY to the INEC election results viewing portal (IREV).*
Let everyone stay woke….
Shun violence….. Avoid vote selling !!! Don’t buy and don’t sell.
