Those who did not participate in the election, its their business. grin grin We wanted to prove to the country that the election of March 28 and Aprill 11 were rigged. We wanted everybody to come out and vote and see the true reflection of the people.

“You can see a Local Government like Port Harcourt there were 26,000 accredited voters and 23,000 voted for APC. That shows you that it is a true reflection of an election.
