As the governorship election in Imo State approaches this Saturday, residents are being counseled on measures to prevent electoral malpractice in their polling stations.

Chief Michael Okoroeze, the leader of the coalition, is urging residents to take to the streets and protest against any potential rigging during Saturday’s election across Imo State. In a signed statement, Okoroeze is advising voters to use the upcoming election as an opportunity to rectify some of the issues witnessed in the state over the years.

His statement reads, “Cast your vote and, afterward, use your phone to collect evidence and share it. If anyone attempts to rig the election by manipulating the ballot boxes, come out onto the streets of Imo State and protest, marching to demand that your votes be accurately counted.”

Okoroeze emphasizes the importance of protecting the vote and asserts that Imo indigenes have the right to vote for their chosen candidate without interference.

Truth Bomb: Rufai Oseni Fires Back At Adedeji, Declaring Dangote Refinery Is NOT Tinubu’s Achievement!.

Published

on

Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni has asserted that the credit for establishing the Dangote Refinery belongs to late former President Muhammadu Buhari and former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele, rather than the current administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking on Monday during The Morning Show, Oseni responded to remarks made by Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) Chairman Zacch Adedeji during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics. Adedeji had pointed to the refinery’s growing contribution to local fuel supply as a key achievement of President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies.

However, Oseni argued that the multibillion-dollar project was enabled by the economic framework of the previous administration—specifically citing the stability of the naira under Emefiele’s tenure, which he said allowed Aliko Dangote to finance and build the facility.

In addition, Oseni criticized current crude supply arrangements, pointing out that the refinery still faces hurdles that force it to purchase Nigerian crude on the international market and import it back into the country. While acknowledging that the Tinubu administration has secured certain economic victories, Oseni maintained that the government must still answer for the severe financial burdens and foreign exchange challenges imposed on corporate entities and everyday citizens.
