The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the PDP’s public avowal to oppose the use of Card Readers in this month’s rescheduled election has shown the accuracy of the APC’s accusations that the ruling party is doing all in its powers to either prevent the election from holding or to rig it.
In a statement issued in Lagos,Thursday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described as very curious the fact that the PDP that rushed to the press to deny the APC’s claims quickly turned around to confirm them.
”At the press conference we addressed on Wednesday, which rattled the PDP and the Jonathan Administration so much, we listed theof the PDP/Jonathan Administration for holding theelection: No PVCs, No Card Readers, No Jega and the fact that theywant the military deployed to harass and intimidate voters.
”We mentioned ‘Card Readers’ at least three times during the press conference, and said they (PDP/Jonathan Administration are doing everything possible to sabotage the machine and prevent its use.
”Both the spokesmen for the PDP and the Jonathan Campaign Organization rushed to the press to deny any such ‘reprehensible’ plan. But a few hours later, the spokesman for the campaign organization told an incredulous country that they would oppose the use of Card Reader, apparently after the spokesmen were overruled by their party.
Obviously, these men are outsiders in their own party and it is now obvious that the opposition knows more about the inner workings of their party than they do,” it said.
APC said that in an apparently-choreographed show, some 15 portfolio political parties called a press conference to also announce that they will oppose the use of the Card Reader, vowing to boycott the elections and use a legal process to prevent the use of the machine.
The party said these syndicated threats are the latest indications ofthe mortal fear in the corridors of power about the machine that hasnow become the nemesis of election riggers and manipulators worldwide.
It said contrary to the claim by the PDP, Nigerians are ready for a free, fair and credible elections to be made possible by the use of the Card Reader, and will massively resist any move to dump the machine. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
