He's not echoing anybody. He's simply doing his job. "Grave resistance" is different from "at the expense your life."
Sorry to counter you there a bit.
Grave is an allusive word for death.
Grave resistance will then mean deadly resistance.
This will interpret as a risk to death and that will be at the expense of life.
He actually echoed the president there.
But you, I and all law abiding Nigerians need not to worry about that.
Only would be ballot box snatchers and their contractors are complaining.

Why are all the agents of the present government obessessed with only the "ballot box" threat? What about the overt rigging perpetuated in the Osun rerun election with the aid of a supposed neutral security agencies?

The most fearful form of election rigging is the INEC manipulation of figures.Thank God for the persistent pressure of foreign observers.INEC & the moribund APC government are being checkmated bumper to bumper.

Good.... It doesn't matter whether the INEC Chief differs or not.... What matters is the CIC has given the order and it must be carried out. INEC chair has power election while PMB has power troops deployment.


Besides this order has put the camp of PDP in disarray and an so happy as the order take they pepper them.
After all said and done, no one is questioning what Buhari as the CIC can or cannot do, plus beyond party lines, how PDP or APC's camps are feeling as a result of that order. I just hope the bullets meant for the ballot box snatchers dont stray and kill innocent citizens who just go there in sincerity to cast votes. This order may be more injurious than it meets the eyes. I wont be the only person left without a seat when the music stops afterall.

We don't need to be ballot box snatchers before we complain. What I expect from the police is professionalism. It's wrong to issue death threat when you are not dealing with terrorists. Me, I've decided to stay at home on election day so that I don't get hit by stray bullet.

I am truly ashamed to be a Nigerian sha.

With all the security apparatus deployed for elections, Police, civil defense etc, why should anyone even have the slight chance of stealing or even thinking of stealing ballot boxes? The fact that it has been happening and could still happen is a shame on the part of our security formations.

It's even a bigger shame that the president would make the comment he made. I expected something like

"......The days of ballot box snatching are over, all polling units are/will be tightly secured you cannot try it this time"

Infact Nigeria matter don tire me. as if nairaland increases my headache, seeing the way some young educated guys are here supporting with their lives, whatever the old demented man does. We are all in Nigeria, we shall continue to suffer together if ur baba wins.

Off nairaland, d bigotry, tribalism, hatred is becoming too irritating. Una bye bye

People here propagate so much national disunity to the extent the effect is being felt in various homes. Nigerians have not learnt any lesson from crisis witnessed in other African countries.
How can Secondus come out to encourage people to go to war should his party loose?
So many Intel reports have indicated Atiku's preparedness to disintegrate the nation should his party not win. He has been the major financier of BH and herdsmen by providing the necessary funds to arm these killers. He wants to extend the arm supplies to IPOB and Niger-delta militants. Buhari's performance so far is agreed not too impressive but allowing someone who is so desperate to procure power even if the country is destroyed isn't the best path to take.
We all before now have regretted voting old people into power thereby encouraging younger candidates to present themselves. Here we are, how many here is willing to vote Moghalu, Sowore, Duke etc ?, None. We, the Nigerian people are simply not ready for change. You wonder why Saraki(a reknowned thief) dances so much at campaigns? Because they all know they are dealing with a gullible populace. They are prepared to rob us again blind. These gangs are more dangerous than Buhari you see today.

This poll offers us all a golden opportunity presented by God to Nigerians to do away with the old elements in our national polity, enforce a paradigm a shift in the political leadership and start clearly on a clean slate.

You want a revolution? Here is one begging to be taken through the ballots and not through bloodshed.
Voting any of the old stocks is tantamount to toying with the nation's destiny. We have tried PDP and APC to realize both are just same with nothing good to offer this nation. They cross carpet and decamp once they gauge the pulse and perception of the public about any government of the day.
We vote them,we bear the brunt or vote them out to start a new live under young and vibrant youths.
The choice is in our hands.

The acting Inspector General of Police (IG) Mohammed Adamu Tuesday in Abuja, echoed President Muhammadu Buhari, threatening that anyone who engages in ballot box snatching during Saturday’s poll will face the music.

Adamu, who issued the threat while briefing journalists after a meeting of service chiefs, including the IG with Buhari in the State House, said the heads of security agencies met with the president, reviewed the security situation in the country and resolved to ensure adequate security during the polls.

According to him, thuggery, touting and ballot box snatching during the polls will be met with grave resistance.

By his declaration, the IG was only echoing Buhari who at the national caucus’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the party secretariat in Abuja on Monday, said he had ordered the security agents to deal ruthlessly with anyone who snatches ballot boxes or attempts to undermine the integrity of the polls even at the cost of his own life.

Buhari also said any politician portraying himself to be popular in his domain and hence hoping to exploit such popularity to hire thugs to snatch ballot boxes during the elections, will do so at the expense of his own life.

The president’s comment has however been condemned by many, who reminded him that the punishment for ballot box snatching is imprisonment for a period of time and not instant death as threatened by the president.

But the IG restated the president’s threat, insisting that whoever engages in any criminal act on election day should be prepared to bear the consequence.

However, Adamu encourages law abiding citizens to freely go out on Saturday and cast their votes without any fear of molestation.

He assured citizens that security agents will duly protect them and guarantee their safety.

“Today, members of the security community and intelligence community came and briefed Mr. President on the security situation in the country.

“We deliberated on the consequences and came up with the resolve to further provide adequate security within the country so that the electorate will come out and cast their votes without any fear of molestation.

“Every Nigerian is encouraged to come out on the election day and cast his or her vote without any fear of molestation. The security personnel are ready and prepared to protect everybody.

“Anybody that feels that he can come out and disrupt process should have a rethink because that situation will not be allowed. If you plan and allow yourself to be used as touts, whatever happens to you, you will take it.

“Ballot box snatching, ballot buying, thuggery will never be allowed. Anybody that is planning to snatch ballot boxes or planning to be used as a tout, will have him or herself to blame on election day. So, you better don’t allow yourself to be used,” he threatened.

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2019/02/19/snatch-ballot-box-face-grave-consequence-ig-echoes-buhari/?amp

So what will happen to the likes of MC Oluomo and Kunle Poly who are known thugs of Tinubu and APC? What will happen to the policemen themselves who on their own snatch ballot boxes or protect their own supporters who would snatch ballot boxes. We saw the APC primaries filled with violence and discontentment. Many cases are in court regarding the APC. They do not have candidates in Zamfara and Rivers. Delta has a very serious case in court and Ogboru very likely will lose the case. Rivers APC threatened hell and brimstone if they do not participate. Looking at it which party is more likely to rig of the two? Is it PDP that technically has two states ahead already or the APC that is still behaving like the opposition party? Do you not think that the threat of the president is just to make people believe that all is well whereas he has given the security agencies instruction to protect APC? In normal democracies where institutions have been built their presidents do not need to give orders to the police as they already know their jobs.
My take on this is that APC has read the political barometer and done the political arithmetic and found out that they have lost the election.
