Monitor election with phones – Aregbesola

Contrary to the directive by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim, barring people from using mobile phones in monitoring the general elections, Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has directed members of the National Youth Service Corps serving in the state to monitor the elections with mobile phones. The governor also charged corps members monitoring the election to post genuine results, pictures and videos of the elections on social networking media such as Twitter and Facebook. Addressing members of the 2011 Batch A of the corps members posted to Osun State at the NYSC Orientation Camp, Ede, on Tuesday, Aregbesola said there was no law barring Nigerians from monitoring elections with electronic devices.
