from the story that APO was tied up by APC. Andrew Uchendu is the APC Senatorial candidate and is from Emohua LGA. His rival George Sekibo is from Okrika LGA which is far from Emohua. From the statement of the APO they were to see a senatorial candidate who is from area.

I concur.... in timaya's voice...

MY EXPERIENCE AS APO 1 IN UNIT 6, WARD 4, OF EMOHUA LGA, IN RIVERS STATE SENATORIAL, STATE HOUSE OF REP AND NATIONAL HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY RE-RUN ELECTION ON 19/03/2016

I have been hearing that hudlums do snatch election materials from INEC officials during voting process until 19th March, 2016 when election materials were snatched in my polling unit where am acting as the Assistant Prisiding Officer 1(APO 1).
When we first arrived our RAC(Registration Area Center) on 18/03/2016, many people who are not INEC ad hoc staffs were seen hovering around the RAC. After collecting election material from our SPOs(Supervising Presiding Officers) at around 6:00AM, we set out to our various polling units after much delay. The buses that were conveying us to our various polling units were just crawling. Peole that are to work at different polling units were to move together accompanied by soldiers, SARS and police officers.
The crawling way of movement made us(my team-PO, APO 1, APO 11 and three police officers) to arrive our polling unit at around 3:20PM. We were the last people to reach their polling unit in our ward. The card reader failed after trying all the 10 fingers of the first person that came to vote. As the second person showed up for accreditation, a group of huddlums entered our polling unit from unknown where and made away with some of our election materials except our card reader(with me), ballot paper and election result(with the APO 11) . We all ran away including the 3 police men that were working with us. There was a pandemonium in the unit.
After the noises subsided, we re-converged at one place to discuss on how to move back to the LGA, since all the people that we called to come for our rescue who actually picked the call did not give us quick attention and there is only one road leading to the place except through water. One of the party agents among the two main party in Nigeria, who told us that the election materials were snatched by the other party member, offered to help us move out of the village. After much contemplation on whether we are save to move out of the village at that time or not, we agreed to move since we believed that the huddlums might come back to harm us or carry the remaining election materials. One of the villagers offered his car too. So, the police men entered the bus that conveyed us to the place and the rest of us with 2 of the villagers(the party agent and one other village boy) and the owner of the car left for the LGA.
On our way to the LGA, the party agent that were with us said that we have to pass through his party senetorial candidate to confess that it is other party member that snatched the materials from us. That was when we began to fill unconfortable with them. Then, th APO 11 insisted to board a car to Choba against the wish of the party agent and ours too. By then, we have lost the police men on the way from the community. The driver called me separately and asked me whether we and the party agent did not discuss anything? Which I sincerely replied that we did not discuss anything. On my own, I have decided not to meet or talk with the politician because some of them are heartless. After seeing how the guy was serious about taking us especially the woman(APO 11 who was with the result sheets and ballot paper) to the politician, the PO knelt down and begged the woman to give them the ballot paper and the election result sheets that she was carrying.
I left the scene with my phone on my ear as if i was making call. After I have given them about 300m gap to the LGA, I saw my PO running towards my direction. I asked him " what happened?" And he told me that the APO 11 has been tied and thrown into a Honda accord. Then, we ran together to the LGA. We saw many other corpers too who were complaining of the same snatch experience in their polling unit too. This is just the summary of what happened.
Please, thank God with me for this is my true life story. I am a serving corp member in Emohua LGA of Rivers state

How much is INEC paying your guys for all these?
Re: Rivers Rerun: Corps Member's Experience As INEC Worker by Walspring: 11:39pm On Mar 20, 2016
OP I guess you are lieing because you didn't mention the name of the party in your report and how do you expect thinkable Nigeria to believe you

This is useless since you can't mention the name of the party, also are you scared or will they come for you

I can see that all ad hoc staff in this ward doesn't go for inec training because you were all told that accreditation stopped by 2pm, how on earth will you start election almost 3:30pm, I wonder if you people doesn't have brain because what you did is free ticket injury and assault.

Did this so-called corps member go through orientation at all? Does the person know the guidelines containing talking to the press (which NYSC ought to update in this era of social media)? Or didn't INEC also conduct some trainings for you guys
Don't let some invisible likes or few minutes of fame on the internet override your sensibilities and INEC procedures in documenting the conduct of an election.

For those accusing the corps member of getting into unnecessary wahala, service year is a compulsory service offered to Nigeria. You do not decline government's posting although there are smart ways to excuse yourself. You are an available pool of resources for the government as it deems fit during NYSC year. Why make elections a battle?
Why don't we focus on politicians making their domain a battle ground? Elections aren't hard to conduct but our people make it hard!


If the corps member is working for INEC as an adhoc staff, I don't expect him or her to give out any party's name otherwise, your position as an umpire is in another 'empire state of mind' then.


Your story will be more useful at the courts and not social media. Whatever people say hear will not be valid in the court of law. I even understand the desperation of our politicians to bombard the media with false and unverified news so that when it's time for the electoral body to perform it's function of announcing results, these 'news' stand as basis for conspiracy theories. Let's make responsible use of the (social) media.

Just shut up.

What Court compensated to the families of dead Corp members during previous election.

So because they are Corp members, their death warrant is signed.

Govermnt should stop using Corp members in elections.

Your outburst will not change anything. Why not hold the government accountable?

Every government since 1999 has insisted that NYSC will stay. Until there is a bill passed by the NASS and assented to by the President to repeal the law, your last paragraph is simply wishful thinking.

1. The court will not compensate unless you apply to it. It's the function of government and it's agencies. So, the court will not hear the grievances of the aggrieved until they apply to it.

You asked, ''What Court compensated to the families of dead Corp members during previous election.
'' Here's an instance of compensation albeit the frequency of these is another thing:

www.informationng.com/2013/09/2011-post-election-violence-nysc-presents-n26-7m-to-families-of-dead-injured-corps-members-in-niger.html


2. That they are corps members does not mean they are meant to die. After all, despite these incidences, corps members have continuously performed electoral officiating duties in various states. Why don't our politicians stop inciting violence during elections? Why do law enforcement officials appear weak? NYSC will continue to use corps members for these elections because they find them 'unfamiliar' adhoc staff who cannot easily take sides during elections.

I may appear theoretical but I need to point out the current realities. If you don't want your child participating in it, maybe postponing the service year when the posting list is out is a practical solution. Playing sick etc may also work. Ultimately, the moment you realise that all corps members 'belong' to the FG during service year, the more proactive you are in 'handling' your government during that period.
