The acting ANSIEC boss stressed that the wrath of God will befall anybody who tries to stop the election through threats adding that he was doing it because he was directed by the Holy Spirit who said, “My son, go and do it.”

According to Okonkwo, “Four things are likely to happen to those planning to stop this election. It is either the person is lame, blind, deaf or dumb, this is a warning that will catch anybody that tries to stop this election. We are moving forward and there is no going back. We are not going to be intimidated by anybody.”
