*Calls on Jega to resign immediately
By Chuks Okocha in Abuja
Ahead of the March 28 Presidential and National
Assembly elections, opposition to the planned
use of the Smart Card Readers (SCR) has
continued as a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
support group, the National Unity Group (NUG)
on Monday insisted that the use of the Card
Readers is a template to rig the elections in
favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group also called on the INEC chairman,
Prof. Attahiru Jega to resign his office
immediately.
Addressing a press comference in Abuja, the
former Senate President, Ameh Ebute, the
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Bala
Mohammed, the vice national chairman of PDP
in the South South, Cairo Ojougboh said that
from the outcome of the mock verification
exercise of the smart card readers in selected
states by the INEC, it became clear that the
machines suffer from many technical and
operational flaws.
Thr NUG said that many questions remain
unanswered concerning the use of the machines
in a nationwide general election, particularly in
an election as significant as the Presidential
election.
According to the statement read by Cairo
Ojuogboh, "Despite the public outcry, Prof. Jega
has refused to publish the state by state results
of the mock verification exercise. Why has he
refused to do so? What is the secret he is afraid
to disclose?"
He said that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru
Jega had previously stated categorically that he
did not want to experiment with the card
readers in the governorship elections in Osun
and Ekiti states.
"It baffles us that he now wants to experiment
with the smart card readers in a Presidential
election which is the most important election in
the country with far reaching consequences.
"What, we may ask, has fundamentally changed
between the Osun and Ekiti governorship
elections and now to warrant Prof. Jega’s
insistence on experimenting with smart card
readers in the presidential election?
”Prof. Jega’s insistence on using the smart card
readers lends credence to the now widely known
plot to manipulate the databank and allot pre-
determined number of votes to the All
Progressive Congress (APC), announce Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the
presidential election and dare President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to go to court."

with who's money den buy the card readers? Why this shout?
