The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on its decision to use the card reader for the forthcoming elections.
In a statement by Dele Alake, Director of Strategic Communications of the party’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, the APC said that with INEC’s decision to use the card readers and its insistence on accepting only the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for voting, a massive blow has been dealt to the carefully laid out rigging plans of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The party further disclosed that INEC’s decision has derailed the PDP’s plans to massively deploy cloned voter cards on the days of the elections.
Alake called on all Nigerians to back INEC in what he called its “patriotic decision” so that the forces of retrogression will not sway the electoral umpire to change its mind.
