Adeleke called on the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies to be vigilant and investigate the allegation. “I want the Inspector-General of Police and all the security agencies to watch out, to be on the lookout for a police officer from Port Harcourt,” Adeleke said. Adeleke urged the police authorities and other security agencies to investigate the allegation and take necessary action. The governor further alleged that there were plans to bypass the established electoral collation process. “I have it on authority of information that they don’t want to go through the normal process from units to ward and to local government,” Adeleke alleged. He claimed that those behind the alleged plan wanted to move the process directly to the collation centre, insisting that such a move would not be acceptable. “They want to just take it all the way to the collation centre. And that is not acceptable. They must follow the rules,” he said. Adeleke also called on residents to remain vigilant throughout the election, urging them to watch out for any attempt to disrupt the process. “And all my people are there to watch out,” he said. Despite the concerns he raised, Adeleke expressed confidence in his electoral prospects, declaring: “I know, by the grace of God, I’m winning this election.”
