Some National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members in Anambra State have vowed to steer clear of the forthcoming governorship election over constant threats

DAILY POST reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, often relies on corps members for the conduct of elections in all parts of the country. They are often used as Presiding Officers, PO and Assistant Presiding Officers, APO 1, 2 and 3 in most polling units during elections.

According to media reports, IPOB members are also angered by the continuous incarceration of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, since June 2021 following his rearrest from an undisclosed country. “DIG Egbunike should be ready to go down in the history as the policeman used by the Fulanis to instigate crises should in case he tries to enforce election in Anambra State by killing any Biafran.”

According to Ochanya, majority of corps members in the local government have vowed to shun the election despite the assurances by security agencies to ensure that the election is crisis-free. Also, Mr Kenneth, popularly known as ‘Coper Ken’ told our correspondent that his parents had warned him against taking any function in the election, stressing that his life is more important than the benefits attached to the exercise.

“I am very sure that the election will hold and nothing will happen, but sometimes, the fear exhibited by others, affects my courage too. Of course, no body wants to die. If by the end of November 4, the security situation is not encouraging, I will have no choice but to stay at home on the election day”, he said.

My brother those of us serving in Delta State were told to volunteer 🚶🚶🚶

I will advise anybody not to risk his safety for election

They send 34,000 police men for the election in anambra but can never send 500 police men to safeguard the poor masses against the Futa Jallon fulani killers. Election is more important in the zoo called Nigeria than lives. FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow nigeria.

You guys should respect yourselves and sit at home, to avoid stories

Very tricky election. They will be dealing with Nigeria army, police, UGM, hoodlums, BNG, IPOB. I pity who won risk their life to vote.

My friend go home

They will be the biggest fools to go to polling units as adhoc staff. What happened to the politicians children?

Okay so the people that you are killing are still the people you want to come out and vote after the voting the Nigeria army will kill the rest and tag it on IPOB abi

Road side gutter journalism. Which order is that?

If you are a Youth corp members, use your head before one bullet go use am for you, by then your name will become RIP

The Africa diaspora sponsored hoodlums have been going about killing election official , the Corps member should not participate or else they will be killed by this radicalized hoodlums

Dear, AnambraCorpsMembers Educate yourself on the situation of the area you find yourself. Then act accordingly. I will not advise you not to trade your life for 20thousand Enaira Let politicians bring their children and extended family to benefit from this great opening.

Call your loved ones to stay alive, no Nigerian politicians wort dying for

They have no option than to save themselves from the bullets from police and military.

It’s only a foolish person that will come out that day,there will be sporadic shootings starting from 4th,everyone should better stay at home

Osisiigbo When the head is cut off both the blind eyes and deaf ears goes with it....🚶

HQNigerianArmy PoliceNG and DSS will kill them!

They need not to threaten. All they need to do is wake up, eat and go back to bed. Sithome must be observed.

If u r a corper, u beta avoid dat election oo, nobody send u message oo. Beta respect ursef, n avoid govt election ooo. If u die during d process of election, na 1million naira dem go give ur family as compensation. U better use ur brain oo. Comor bodi from this election ooo 🚶‍♂️

When has civil disobedience become a crime? IPOB never threatened no election. They are simply having another form of protest since it’s now a crime to engage in outdoor civil disobedience. IPOB said they do not have any business with (s)elections in Nigeria. FreeMaziNnamdiKanu

IPOB did not threating anyone. They only declare sit at home

Corps members, do not be so stupid to die for nothing, dieing for the Zoo. Die for Biafra then you are a Hero.

adamash411 Biafrans please sit at home your lives matters then stupid election politicians will play games that day

Is only a fool will risk his or her life for Nigeria. If you love your life stay off Anambra election.

When you meet strong people like ipob/Biafran Support them Corps use your little skills and sit at home 🏡

If you die for Nigeria you die for nothing your life is more important than that selection they call election

No one is threatened but the people of Biafra has far rejected Nigeria,at last victory ✌️

The earlier, the better oo, because your parents need you come back alive oo.

Good

Pls, y’all should stay clear. Those guys ain’t joking at all

IPOB is not threatening anyone, we are simply sitting at home in solidarity with our leader, we have no business with Zoo election.

Those that died when Buhari lost the elections what became of their families? Naija no send u oo

IF their mama love them, make she call them now to come back home now. This people say them want Biafra for many years, give them what they want nah, is it by force to stay together? What kind of country is this self...

They are the smart ones. Nigeria is absolutely not throwing away your life unnecessary or dying for. Tell the political class to recruit their family members

How did calling your people to sit down at home and not get involved with the useless thing they call elections become a crime? We called for a referendum, zoo media called it a call for war! Again we're calling for a sit at home protest, and zoo media says its threaten!

nestsylver Some corp members are daft, so with all the insecurity you still want to risk your life for Nigeria am really really sorry for you and your parents who suffered to put you through school,' SERVE NIGERIA AND COME BACK IN SHAME' MNK FREENNAMDIKANUNOW

We warned you but if you want to sacrifice yourself for a failed state, then it's up to you. Anybody that died for Nigeria will be published in the spirit world

IPOB has no business with Corp members, and have never threatened them. All we asked is unconditional release of our indomitable leader on or before 4/10/2021 if not we will embark on our normal one week sit-at-home starting from 5th-10th being court day.

Who no like him life?

GodwinElendu2 Ukpara okpoko gburu... obu nti chiri ya We offer u as burnt offering to the Zoo.

Stay in your house for your safety. Nigerian military will kill you and tag it IPOB.

It’s for their own good

Better stay at home the Nigeria police, soldiers and DSS will waste your lives

What is Nigeria problem self, we only say that we are sitting at home peacefully, no body boycott or say no election, we only want to sit at home for the release of MNK and mind you the whole Igbo is in support of it, I only see negative comment from non Igbo and fake account

Oh! You na still dey threaten? Wey you na go japa. Na who want something dey threaten.

If they love enjoying living, they should simply stay away from Anambra Election. Nigeria is not worth dying for.

Better for them

Enyinnaya_12 If you want to see Yaradua face just volunteer yourself for November 6th election in Anambra state,we Biafrans will be drinking from Hero watching the playlist 👁️🦅⚖️✍️
