DELTA STATE GOVERNORSHIP RE-RUN ELECTION: LET YOUR VOTE COUNT

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has just announced that the court ordered Delta state re-run election will hold on 6th January, 2011.
We wish to call on all Anioma people registered to vote to guard their voter's card very jealously and use it judiciously in their choice of credible governorship candidate in the January 6, 2011 re-run election. In making your choice, it is important to note that whosoever you decide as governor may take charge of the affairs of Delta state, and therefore your lives and wellbeing and those of your children for the next four years. You should therefore use your votes wisely and not be tempted by temporary gains, but consider your long term future and those of your children and kinsmen and women in deciding who you elect in this crucial election, coming up in about on January 6, 2011.

The foundation would also advice all Anioma people to not only vote, but to also defend their votes and prevent a situation where their votes are stolen, or are not counted as was the case in the 2007 cancelled election. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "No man is good enough to rule or govern over another without his consent"...
Our Anioma young people should not be tempted, by immediate trifle gains offered by election riggers, to be used in carrying out fraudulent electoral practices as the long term pain of dubious electoral mandate hurts the people more, since the carriers of those fraudulent mandate(s) will feel unaccountable and unconcerned about the plight of the people whose votes they feel are not needed to get to power.

It is time to make your votes count. Too many of our political office holders are not accountable to us - the electorate. Let's come out and vote and make our voices heard. This election re-run is no ordinary one. The votes you cast will contribute to improving your day to day living or diminishing your quality of life and that of other Anioma people. We now have the opportunity to carefully choose who we want to serve us and reject those who do not have the best interest for Anioma people.

This press release is to let you know that this election re-run is DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL because in the past people are selected and / or imposed on us but we are delighted that the CHANGE WE SEEK IS HERE and history cannot repeat itself as the good people of our State are ready for any such eventuality. Several machineries are now in place to observe and monitor this election very closely and any malpractice or any attempt to rig the result and sabotage the WILL of the people will be met with grave consequences for both the candidates and those responsible for rigging it. Umu Anioma Worldwide will be on the ground to monitor events closely.
