Yes Mr President I agree with you completely. It is important to understand all the effects and affects of declaring a State of Emergency in those States. The country Nigeria must honor these dead and wounded NYSC members somehow after all they were on national assignment and did not invite this upon themselves. So that people will know that their good work will not go in vain or un noticed. The killers should be damned and brought to book. Period..The era of massive election rigging is over in Nigeria
The use of NYSC members was a good idea because they were expected to be non-aligned and unbiased individuals just performing a national service. But if they are going to be wasted like this then I do not support the idea of using our fresh graduates for election purposes. These are fresh brains who should be contributing to the socioeconomic advancement of the Nigeria
In future elections tighter security must be put in place to protect the Polling officers or any body involved in the electoral processes.
After votes are counted, all the elections officers (or whatever they call them) must be moved to undisclosed and secure place to avoid the wrath of losers as we have just witnessed since emotions are high and mob action appears difficult to control.
Any group of people can go coocoo and cause havoc too after an election if they are the losers......
