Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
has revealed the only way the presidential election slated for February 16 can
be rigged.
Saraki in a short video clip on
his twitter handle on Sunday, said election on Saturday can be rigged only when
electorates don’t show up at the polling units.
He further called on youths
across the country to ensure they go to the various polling units and cast
their vote, adding that future of the nation lies in their hands.
Saraki, who is also the Director
General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council,
urged the youths not to consider ignoring the polls as an option.
He said: “This message is to our
youths. With over 40 per cent of registered voters, you can decide the
direction of our country through your votes.
“You may not be entirely
satisfied with the political process, but not voting is not an option.
“You have started the process by
collecting your PVCs, you must follow through and vote next Saturday.
“Today, all over the world, your
generation decides who leads their various countries; Nigeria must not be
different. You guys are hardworking, innovative and patriotic, so you must play
a role in deciding who leads us for the next four years.”
“Come Saturday, February 16, you
must come out en mass and vote. To sit at home is not an option. You have a big
say in your future only if you vote.
“The purported reports that the
elections might be rigged can only happen when electorates don’t show up at the
polling units.”
