LAWANI INNANOREMHE DESMOND

Fellow young Nigerians and well-meaning citizens, Let us reject disinformation meant to weaken our mobilisation or turn us against the electoral process. Not everyone at INEC is opposed to a free and fair election. We must not make the Commission an enemy or direct harm toward its officials. Capable professionals, the party, and the Presidential Campaign Council are already engaging INEC constructively. Trust the leadership handling these matters. We must also stay alert. Some interests within the APC government appear eager to force unnecessary ICT procurements on the Commission and may use public pressure for that purpose. Do not fall into that trap. Let those best placed to handle institutional engagement do so, while we focus on the decisive work of the people. The Osun elections have been an eye-opener: the more voters we bring out, the harder it becomes for anyone to rig the outcome. Nearly 50 million undecided voters remain open to persuasion. Take our message to every community, campus, and market where our opponents struggle to reach. Present our candidate, promote the party’s logo, and bring out new voters who have never participated before. Young Nigerians, we especially urge you to present yourselves to be polling agents and Vanguards at all levels. Your presence at the polling units is one of the strongest protections of the people’s will. To INEC, we say: Nigeria needs free, fair, and credible elections. We encourage you to succeed in that duty and stand ready to support every effort that strengthens the integrity of the process. Stay focused. Organize. Mobilize. Vote and protect your votes like your life depends on it. Surely, our lives depend on it. High turnout and disciplined participation remain our strongest path to victory. Together, we will secure the future Nigeria deserves. Signed, Mallam Ibrahim Hussain Abdulkarim Director-General National Campaign Council Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) #VoteNDC #NigeriaWillBeOK
