Some supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party's governorship candidate in Abia state are using coffins as scare tactics against people planning to vote against him.
The coffins which read: "Vote against Ngwa and die" is meant to scare voters into voting for Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, who is from Obingwa local government area of the state.
On Thursday morning, residents of the commercial city of Aba, woke up to find caskets placed on some major streets, with warnings inscribed on them that if the people failed to vote for an Ngwa governor they would be killed.

The supplementary elections in the state is expected to hold on Saturday, April 25, as scheduled by INEC, after the election of April 11 in the state, was declared inconclusive.
The two councils of Aba North and Aba South are part of the areas where the election will hold tomorrow.
The coffins have started having its desired effect, as some voters have vowed not to step out of the safety of their homes tomorrow when voting commences in the re-run election for fear of their lives.

Meanwhile, the two parties contesting in Saturday's supplementary election, PDP and APGA, have both condemned the act, while pointing fingers at the opposite direction.
The PDP candidate, whom the coffins are in support of, Ikpeazu, distanced himself from the barbaric act, while his challenger in APGA, Dr. Alex Otti, described it as "despicable, shameful and barbaric act by desperate and frustrated politicians."
APGA accused the PDP of using the coffins to discourage its supporters in Aba from coming out to vote on Saturday, while the Ikpeazu responded saying he knows nothing about the coffins which were dropped at some strategic locations in Aba.
