The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has described those who are asking the Independent National Electoral Commission to stop the use of electronic card readers for accreditation of voters as poll fraudsters.

The Director of Publicity of APC in Osun State, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Monday.

The APC spokesperson said those pressurizing the INEC to stop the device wanted to use fraudulent means to gain what they lost during the March 28 presidential election when the electoral used the card reader.

The statement read, “Whatever the difficulties experienced during the presidential election with application of the card reader, experience gained from its use leaves us better off for the electoral process and the credibility of the exercise, than without the card reader.

“Those who are now agitating that INEC should discontinue the use of the card reader are the losers at the last election, who want to recoup their losses, and gain from a fraudulent manipulation of the voting process which they have used in the last 16 years to stay in power.

“We vehemently oppose the idea being suggested by some interested parties that INEC should not use the card reader for the governorship and Houses of Assembly elections. It will be defeatist for INEC, retrogressive for our‎ emergent democracy and absolutely harmful to the credible electoral process which INEC is building.

“INEC can therefore not trade off this significant milestone in its efforts to sanitise the electoral process which allowed spoilers a breathing space to cynically enjoy their crooked pastime of vote rigging.

“This will not only damage the hard-earned esteem INEC has had since the March 28 presidential election, it will also disappoint Nigerians and the international community and endanger our democracy that has just emerged from the doldrums of its stagnated past.”
