Abagworo: [s]Anti- democratic forces have unleashed their latest
retrogressive onslaught, less than forty-eight hours to
the Anambra Gubernatorial election, at civil society
activists and groups officially accredited by Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the premises of
Disney Hotels, Km 4, Owerri-Onitsha road, Owerri, Imo
State.
Our Organisation, the Justice and Equity Organisation
(JEO) accredited as observer in the Anambra
Governorship elections of 16th November, 2013 was the
victim of police repression and political game.
To ensure efficiency and credible observation, we have
organised a pre-election training and briefing session for
our Observers. The occasion was also used to distribute
election observation paraphernalia to our agents for the
Saturday elections. While this peaceful and unobtrusive
process was ongoing, a team of police men, acting
ostensibly to protect the interest of some evil minded
people swooped on the hotel, arrested all the 180
observers, mobilised by our organisation from across the
country and carted away the INEC-provided election
observation identification tags among other valuables.
This urgent public notice therefore became expedient in
view of the very reliable information at our disposal, on a
planned purported police stage-managed drama,
wherein the arrested activists would be paraded as
hoodlums and common criminals. In fact, the Police is
set to display some arms and ammunition to press home
its chicanery on the intent and gathering of the
comrades.
We are using this medium to appeal to members of the
public and the Inspector-General of police to as a matter
of urgency call the Police to order. The conduct of an
election should not and cannot be an excuse to declare a
state of emergency on the people who are supposed to
come and exercise their franchise freely. The undue
militarisation of Anambra State and its environs had
been a cause of concern to well-meaning observers. This
high-tension situation informed our choice of Owerri for
our training and briefing of mobilised observers. This
arrest and detention of well-meaning Nigerians, who
have sacrificed their time and comfort for voluntary
service in the interest of the nation must be roundly and
soundly condemned by all.
We are by this statement further calling on Mr.
President, the National Assembly, Party leaders,
Inspector-General of Police, the Press, INEC and
Nigerians for their intervention ahead of the election.
We hereby admonish the Police authorities to order the
immediate release of our members to forestall undue
tension during and after the election.
Sincerely yours,

ilugunboy: [s]Good luck to Anambrarians.....

Please don't come and shed crocodile tears here on Nairaland if out of hatred and fear you succeed in putting the wrong man in Awka Govt House.

[/s]

berem: [s]They know Ngige is so much loved by his people so they do everything possible to tarnish his image. The fear of Onwa......

[/s]
Bring another lie

ilugunboy: [s]Guess what?

I really don't give a flying fvuck who Ibo people allow to govern your states....its has absolutely no effect on me or my pocket.

Whoever you vote...you live with the consequences.

I really want a genuine national conference to really put some clear cut demarcation on our level of interaction in Nigeria.

If we eventually go back to the regions...whatever you do in your region will be entirely your business and headache....whatever we do in the SW will be our headache.

It gonna be a win-win situation for everybody.

Rubbish!

Liar Muhammad ll be sorrowfully weeping and gnashing his golo stained teeth anywhere he is now

Rubbish
Security operatives caught some apc mercenaries with fake Anambra voters card who are hell-bent on formenting trouble tomorrow and paraded them on tv... ...yet some apc irritants are here typing rubbish in defence of God know what!.. ...anyway kudos to the security operatives cos it's -200 or so potential trouble makers out of the way..more grease to your elbow.

Abagworo: I don't see anything wrong with election observers being invited by Rochas or Obi. Its obvious they don't want secret cameras etc in the hands of observers in order to rig the election. Lodging in Imo does not change any point as its a neighbouring State and a straight journey to any part of Anambra. I'm sure most people already know that in Anambra 99% of the people communicate in Igbo and 180 people cannot change anything in election.

180 people with gun and machete can change a lot bro.

berem: You're still trying to twist the story. Your uncle said they weren't all Yorubas but it was earlier said they were all from Osun state. which do we believe?

My uncle wasn't the one who arrested them a fellow DPO in Owerri briefed him.
Security operatives headed by Hausa man caught some apc mercenaries with fake Anambra voters card who are hell-bent on formenting trouble tomorrow and paraded them on TV... ...yet some apc irritants are here typing rubbish in defence of God know what!..

biafranqueen: a mere 10k that someone passing can dash you never

Imagine! Isn't it suicide?

berem: you will be more disappointed when the truth finally is revealed. you will be shocked to your bone marrow when Ngige wins this election despite all attempts to blackmail him.

Ngige can only win in hell fire where devil and those hell fire bend he is already importing from Osun state will vote for him

ba7man: The really question is "why use Yoruba boys"??

They can easily be identified.

They will have a hard time blending in.

Communication will be a problem for them too.

It doesn't add up........why not simply use Igbo boys from neigbouring states?? Its a smarter move and a no-brainer if you plan on rigging.

Igbos don't harbor touts.
Besides using Igbos will cost them billions,
An Igbo sharp guy will not because of 10k put his life on line or commit an imprisonment offense

wirinet: Some of you people are more neurotic than I thought. what does where they imo state have anything to do with the argument here. The whole statement you wrote up there is senseless. Imo state WAS only APC state in the east? so Imo state is no longer an APC state?
And someone actually liked your post. A very sad commentry on Nigerian educational system.

So what are you alleging? that Governors Rochas conspired with Governors Rauf to import 180 Yoruba thugs from osun to rig the governorship election in Anambra, an APGA controlled state with PDP controlled police and INEC?

Spotted on

berem: Oh, your uncle is now saying they are 200 and they are yorubas, Edos and Igbos? I thought it was earlier said they are from Osun state? The truth is finally surfacing. Ara ga agba ndi ara!

You are not smart at all, if you are you should know that yorubas can not move freely in Igbo land without the locals

berem: I hate it when people just jump into an argument without reading properly. From what I posted, its obvious that they were accredited by INEC as election observers. What the holy phuck are you saying again? Why do people like you reason so shallow? Damn! I give up!

Berem am disappointed in you, were you actually born with ndi ofe Watery spam?
obafunsho a Yoruba man and his witches dime it not fit to stay in Awka the state capital, what about Enugu, Asaba the neighboring states why Imo state an APC state?

sbeezy8: I dont know why would they be in Imo if anambra is where the election is taking place..... lol On a real note, they didnt specify where the people came from stop yarning dust.

Im only wasting time arguing with you losers because im bored, Not only did you quote me, you didnt even address what I wrote.

I would have address you had you make any reasonable point than trying had to cover a naked truth. My uncle is in Imo State a DPO and he stated that "about 200 hundred people were arrested in a hotel yesterday with Fake Inec ID card and Anambra state voters card and their is Yorubas, Edo, and some Igbos among them" that investigation is going on. you expect me to sing in the tone with you?

Arysexy: Go back and read d news on d first page, the guy interviewd said they are from osun, they wia paid 10,000 naira each and promised more after d election.

On why they r in imo rather dan anambra, common sense shud tel u dat imo is bn controlled by rochas an APC sell out. They r more likely to be secured in owerri dan in anambra an APGA state wia they can be easily spotted. D plan was to move tgem into onitsha by friday evening. Owerri to oonitsha is just 45 minutes.

Those asking y they pass onitshan pass enugu, pass abia b4 getting to imo are obviously showing they dant knw wia imo is, immediately u cross niger bridge and get to upper iweka u turn right and head to owerri on a very smooth road.

Or they could easily pass through Delta - Balyesa - Imo to avoid sporting at Onitsha

Stale news! Bring another lie as you can see this one can not sell

wirinet: Oh boy, see format. Osun indigenes travelling to anambra via imo to rig elections with 2 dane guns. This is calculated to discredit Ngige on the eve of the elections. A few yoruba youths travelling to the heart of igbo land to rig elections is a confirmed suicide mission. It is like a few igbo youths travelling to kano to rig a governorship election on the eve of the election. I can place a wager that no one of them would make it back alive.

Elections can only be rigged by locals and not by outsiders, not to talk of another tribe.

Igbo are becoming masters of ethnic, tribal and religious propaganda as a political tool. I hope it does not backfire in the long run.

Stop spewing rubbish here, Imo state was only APC state in the east hence they use it as their base. Mind you you can enter Imo state through Delta, Balyesa - Imo without entering Onitsha

sbeezy8: [size=14pt]Believe it or not I have alot of respect for ndigbo but this is getting ridiculous, the level of propaganda that is going on is astonishing

First a post about APC - saying they will starve igbos like Biafrans, Now this.... If this is the type of propaganda that was being petaled around the 1966- early 1970's I can see, why a good portion of igbos are the way they are. This accusation of APC stating they will starve igbos- Is very low, at this point I feel sorry for ndigbo for having leaders who will "purposely" manipulate the minds of the people they claim they care for by using such an important and devastating time in history for political gain .

Manipulation of ethnic groups exist in all tribes- But mehn that biafra- starving rumor is just in bad taste. VERY BAD TASTE, Its politics never is it that serious, Ngige is not yoruba or hausa - he is igbo and still your brother. [/size]

Your level of stupidity is appealing, your sense of comprehension in nothing to write home.
I just have questions for you, what are Yoruba boys from Osun state doing in Imo state with Inec official ID and Anambra state voters card?

abedoyin: Source pls.
If this happen truly,it is an indication that we are far from development,Imagine the grownup men and if its fabricated by PDP with the aim of tarnishing the image of APC we have a long way to go....God bless Nigeria

Don't you have AIT at home, it shows live on 10 o'clock news

donphilopus: These fucktards don't just know what else to say, other than to spew this thrash. You defamation for Ngige and APC as a whole cannot stop Ngige from winning the gubernatorial election come Nov. 16

Choi! Lunatics have infested this thread

Cuche: Ngige doesn't need people from Osun or Imo to win. He is a Brand
Once the election is free and fair,; INEC being unbiased. We know Ngige doesn't need all those stuffs to win, he is simply the best among the top contestants.
I don't even see Apga coming 2nd... except if the election is marred by irregularities

You are a pathological liar.
Ngige is father and breeder of election malpractice in Anambra

Op change the title to something like this:
Some Hoodlums From
Osun State Arrested In Imo
En-route Anambra- Police

automaticcars: Yorubas are not stupid like you guys that do anthing to make money. There is no amount of money that would have forced a Yoruba man man to commit election malpractice in Iboland. It is just not possible. This is a cooked up story with some random pictures culled on the intenet and being spread on facebook just to tarnish Ngige and APC.

What's this one saying?

berem: Exactly my point! PDP and APGA are so desperate to tarnish the image of APC's candidate Ngige. It is certain they are behind this malicious blackmail. They orchestrated the drama to bring in confusion just few days to the election. May God punish them all for this evil act.

That is one thing i hate about Igbos, always merciful than God. Those Osun rogues should be dealt with if possible chop out one of their legs

PETER OKONKWO: We know the master riggers.
NGIGE is too polished to descend into rough tackle like his opponents.

“Given the way things continue to be done in Nigeria, anything is possible, as outcome but men of their word must stand up to be counted and so it is imperative that my voice be loud and clear, given the importance of this moment for which history will judge us all. Given how the APGA leadership has conducted things the field is narrowed to Ngige and Ubah, and Ngige is the man that fits the bill for the moment.”
