RE: 2019 PRESIDENTIAL/NASS ELECTION: CAVEAT EMPTOR

Good afternoon Gentlemen of the Press.

On behalf of the Third Eye Group, I have the pleasure to welcome you to this brief Press Conference. The Primary objective is to unveil to a select media, the role which the Group has positioned itself to play in Saturday’s Presidential/National Assembly election.

As you well know, the 2019 General Election has attracted a lot of attention from within and without. There is palpable fear in some quarters that some political actors have concluded plans to rig the outcome of the poll. Nigerians are genuinely concerned on the prospects of the sanctity of the exercise.

It is as a direct result of apprehensions here and there that The Third Eye Group decided to intervene in a manner that will complement INEC’s effort towards achieving free, fair and transparent election in at least a federal constituency which the group has decided to adopt as a pilot in this novel objective.

Put succinctly, we are ‘’The Third Eye”, and our core objective is to help INEC achieve FREE, FAIR, and TRANSPARENT election.

The intent of this briefing is therefore to alert the General Public that we shall be deploying curtain edge technology to record in motion picture, All UNTOWARD BEHAVIOURS in the 678 polling units across Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency under a pilot project.

This is a novel initiative aimed at capturing and uploading on social media for all to see, all ACTS of BRIGANDAGE, VIOLENCE and THUGGREY, illegitimate movements on election Day by political actors, COMPROMISE by INEC election workers and overzealous federal security agents, etc.

We, at THIRD EYE, cannot stop anyone from getting involved in any of the above vices, but we are equipped and resolved to EXPOSE such RECKLESSNESS by giving whoever that dares the ‘GANDOLLAR’ treatment for whatever it may be worth –thanks to the power of modern technology.

We, therefore, urge political actors, election workers, security agents- the police and Army to be mindful of their conduct. Parents should also warn their wards to comport themselves in a manner that will not put them into trouble subsequently. To be forewarned is to be forearmed!

Signed:

For THIRD EYE GROUP,
