2019 Elections: Let’s Not Support Illegality While Supporting Our Candidates by socialmediaman: 11:09am On Feb 20, 2019
Buhari’s order of shoot at sight for ballot box snatchers is very disgraceful and indicative of military style rule. This brings back memories of the past during the military era when Nigerians suffered so much tyranny and had no rights

Ordinarily in a society where there are trusted and reputable institutions like the police, military etc, you would not be bothered about such an irrational order, knowing it is invalid, but Buhari has just given soldiers and police officers license to carry out and substantiate illegality. These are the same police and military who extort money from road users in the name of checkpoints on the road, how can we trust them not to abuse this irrational order?

With this order coming from the president, a policeman can walk into a polling station, collude with any political party to intimidate voters and influence elections, and anyone who tries to record the incident could be accused of ballot box snatching and shot at sight

This is very wrong! Whether you support PDP or APC or any other party, do not support illegality. When INEC postponed elections in a hurry, we all came out and condemned their unpreparedness before the political parties came out to divide us by accusing each other. Let’s apply same unison in condemning the president for illegal and tyrannical orders such as this!

God Bless us all!

GEJ/PDP set the stage and template for civilized polls in Nigeria which earned Nigeria global acclaim and respect but Buhari and his zombies have come to take us back to stone age in the name of false integrity.

I don’t support rigging and violence either, but can you honestly trust police or military with an order like this? Innocent people could be victims, remember

What is your own opinion?

You would support every illegality provided they come from your candidate?

He said "deal ruthlessly" - that's tantamount to shoot at sight.
