Why use of card readers scares PDP –APC

Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) has alleged that Peoples Democratic Party's
(PDP) desperation to use fake voter cards to rig the
2015 general elections is responsible for its
opposition to the use of card readers.
The party insisted that the manner the PDP was going
about its opposition to the use of card readers in the
elections had exposed the latter as a cabal of
shameless electoral thieves who predicated their
strength on manipulating every election in the
country.
In a statement signed by the state Publicity Secretary
of APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party urged the PDP to drop
its opposition to the innovation. The party said the
time was up for the PDP and its alleged fraudulent
ways.
"Nigerians should recall that recently, the
Department of State Services (DSS), which has shown
a vaunting inclination to be perceived as PDP's attack
dog, invaded the APC Data Centere in Lagos,
vandalised the place and arrested some staff of the
centre. We recall that the DSS was to follow this
horrendous act with a specious, outlandish and false
claim that the APC was cloning voter cards in the
centre. Even as the DSS has so far not followed up
this brazen lie done as a hatchet for the PDP, we not
only denied this devilish claim but went further to
show that the DSS was up to some tricks for the PDP.
"Nigerians should recall that recently, Lagos APC
revealed a sinister plan by the PDP to mop up voter
cards of unsuspecting Lagosians and also the card
numbers of Lagosians in its wild dream of capturing
Lagos for a dying PDP. We also observed that PDP in
Lagos, using a front of mainly traders and Igbo
groups, has been boasting lousily of having gotten
millions of PVCs to execute its wonky dream."
" With the raging PDP frantic effort to stop the use of
card readers to verify the authenticity of voter cards
on election day, it is now clear to us that the PDP has
been busy cloning voter cards and using voter PIN
numbers to hack cards it intends to use to rig the
2015 elections. It is now clearly obvious that in
launching a brazen attack on the APC and raising the
false claim that the APC was cloning cards, the DSS
was providing cover for the PDP to clone millions of
cards with which it hopes to rig the 2015 elections
hence such diversionary trick by the PDP's DSS.
" We challenge PDP to disprove this fact," the party
stated
