Saraki: How Nigerians Can Prevent Election Rigging by Limitednow: 3:56pm On Feb 19, 2019
Bukola Saraki, President of the 8th Senate, has suggested ways to prevent election rigging in the country as the rescheduled general election kick starts on Saturday.

Mr Saraki is the director-general of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Organisation which has Atiku Abubakar, as its presidential candidate.

Mr Abubakar known universally as Atiku is the major challenger of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is running for a second term in office on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) claiming nobody can unseat him unlike his predecessor.

The top lawmaker is also wishing to return to the red chamber at the National Assembly on the platform of the PDP.

Detailing how election rigging can be prevented from manifesting, the Kwara born lawmaker said large turn out of voters is the only antidote to the illegal electoral interference.

At the 84th National Executive Committee (NEC), he urged Nigerians to turn out in their numbers to cast their votes as that is the only way Mr Buhari and his party can be chased out of power.

He said the PDP is against rigging as speculated in some quarters. Recently, the president ordered security agencies to deal ruthlessly with those who are out to thwart the electoral wish of the people in the rescheduled general election commencing on Saturday.

“We have 4 more days to go. I want to appeal to Nigerians: do not let them frustrate you. When there is a low turn out, they can rig, but if you come out to vote, they cannot,” Saraki said while addressing the gathering in Abuja on Tuesday.

“PDP is against election rigging. The law must apply to people that rig.

“When you come out to vote on Saturday, do you want a Nigeria that that adheres to the rule of law, or do you want a Nigeria that is governed by jungle justice?” the top lawmaker queried.

He hinted that there are forces who want the election rescheduled again so as to create room for the accommodation of their personal gains.

“INEC, we know that they do not want you to hold that election on Saturday, but we want you to hold that election on Saturday,” Saraki said.

The electoral body conducting the general election rescheduled the general election to commence on February 23 against the initial February 16 it fixed earlier, citing logistical challenges.

While presidential and federal parliamentary elections is expected to hold this coming Saturday, that of governorship and state assembly comes up on March 9.

Buhari has been a signatory to govt funds and account many times in his life as
1: Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOC 4th infantry
2 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOC 2nd Mechanized Div
3 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as GOV 3rd Armor
4 Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as military secretary
5: Buhari was signatory to Govt accounts as Adjutant general of the army
6 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as directors of supply and transport Nigerian Army
7 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as minister of petroleum
8 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as Military Head of state
9 Buhari was signatory to Govt account as Head of PTF
10 Buhari is now super signatory as President of Nigeria
Fellow Nigerians from the above can you not see Buhari is part of those that have looted the Nigerian treasury and not Atiku that has never been a signatory even for one day !!!!!

Politicians are the enemies to themselves. They're the ones rigging election by themselves and for themselves. Riggiocracy: the govt of the riggers by the riggers and for the riggers.

3)GRANT AMNESTY TO CRIMINALS
4)ENSLAVE NIGERIANS TO HIS AMERICAN BOSSES
5)ENRICH HIS FRIENDS WITH NIGERIA TREASURY

Ogar you should be educating people to shun the idea of ballot box snatching.
With Buhari as the Sheriff in town, ballot box snatching ain't a good business.

.

If you love your life, stay away, in fact delete the idea of snatching a ballot box oooo
