He said the call became necessary following his observations on the activities of some foreign election observers in Nigeria in past presidential elections.
Mr Utomi accused some of the foreign election observers of unwittingly suppressing democracy in Nigeria.
Their role had an inoculation effect on the rights of citizens to elect the candidates they wanted to lead them. He also criticized the observers' palliative call for calm when the rage of the cheated wells up, which he believed is the reason why Nigeria lies prostrate.
The political economist urged all missions and observers in Nigeria in the forthcoming elections to remain upright and ensure they stand on the side of truth and fairness and speak up on their observations.
He added that foreign missions in Nigeria know the Nigerian politicians who had invested much in violence, voter intimidation and suppression, including manipulating voter registers to disenfranchise voters, just as they also know the corrupt politicians who bought votes.
Mr Utomi noted that foreign missions are aware of politicians who use stolen public funds to block access for citizens.
He, therefore, called on foreign missions to do more to stop such corrupt practices. He believes that the currency of the centre-periphery thesis of international political economy may have run out decades back, but Nigeria’s challenges prove its validity and veracity.
Mr Utomi also called for establishing an International Crimes Court where politicians who rigged elections and those who intimidated and suppressed voters during elections would be tried and punished accordingly. He believes that this will serve as a deterrent to other politicians who may want to engage in similar corrupt practices.
He called on Nigerians to go out en masse on Saturday to change history by replicating what happened in Kano between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Ibrahim Shekarau.
Shekarau, as a teacher, challenged Kwankwaso, who was a sitting governor with all the state powers, but the will of the people of Kano prevailed in the end, and Shekarau was declared the winner because they voted and guarded their votes to ensure that nobody stole it.
Mr Utomi noted that these young people who rose up must now know that their future is in their hands and not in these fancy arrangements which only mortgage their future.
He believes that Nigeria needs leaders who have the interest of the people at heart, leaders who will work towards the development of the country and not towards their personal interest.
