What we want to do is to screen out illegal cards because a lot of people are cloning, purchasing and selling tie permanent voter's cards but it is a waste of time. That is why we need the media presence in this election,the vigilance group. This election requires a lot of human monitoring because it is different from the previous elections, people must be present,parties must educate their people and their agents. --- Prof. Lai Olurode, INEC National Commissioner. We will go on to protect the electorate. Every eligible voter should feel safe enough to cast his votes. We will be there to protect the votes and make sure no one disrupts the process. Cast your votes and go home and cool down. If you remain there,there is a likelihood that you will commit an offence. --- Suleiman Abba Inspector-General of Police. Source:www.splashfm1055.com

Your presence may not stop them from 'macolizing' your vote if they so intend. I think the presence of party agents would suffice.

But the IG's directive may help avert unpleasant situation. A number of persons at the unit may breed avoidable crisis.
