hehehehe PDP is already conceding even before the contest...

Clerverly:
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the use of card readers for the general election.

In a suit filed before the federal high court in Abuja, the party asked the court to restrict INEC from postponing elections in any polling unit as a result of a malfunctioning card reader.

INEC had said elections in the case where a smart card reader malfunctions, voting will be suspended till a new card reader arrives, or postponed till the next day if a replacement is not available by 2pm.

In the suit dated February 11 a copy of which was sent to TheCable, the party argued that INEC’s insistence — in its regulations and guidelines for the conduct of the elections — that a voter’s identity must be confirmed by the card reader is inconsistent with provisions of the electoral act.

The paragraph states: “10. (a) In accordance with Section 49 (2) of the Electoral Act, a person intending to vote shall be verified to be the same person on the Register of Voters by use of the Smart Card Reader (SCR) in the manner prescribed in these Regulations and Guidelines.

“(b) Any poll official who violates the provision of Clause 10 (a) shall be deemed to be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to prosecution.”

The party said this particular regulation does not align with section 49 of the electoral act. The section states: “(1) A person intending to vote with his voter’s card, shall present Issue of ballot papers himself to a Presiding Officer at the polling unit in the constituency in which his name is registered with his voter’s card.

okay oo

Hmm. Day don break. Atiku don finally see the reality.

rottennaija:
Oh I see. Smart move by pdp.
Try to get court injunction barring inec from the use of card reader just very close to the Election. So that there is no time for the court or INEC to consider the case. But the injunction has already been secured.

No doubt, this may be one of the things referred to on the 5th Feb letter to Dr. Saraki (see below). Dubai strategy I deeded.

No court in the land will give such injunction.

Now we know why INEC offices were burnt. PDP, bunch of foolish thieves.

TonyeBarcanista:
PDP Prayer: Nobody should be denied chance to vote on the basis that the Smart Card Reader can't read his PVC as long as his name is on the voter's register...

How does that translate to stopping use of Card reader? Should people be disenfranchised because of some technological lapses?

Will you keep quiet?

You are a serial liar. The day INEC announced, incident form will be used , when the card reader fails to authenticate the Pvc , didn't you cry wolf in this platform?

We now know who set the INEC offices in Anambra state on fire to get rid of the card readers

Moderators Mynd44 lalasticlala Seun. Please why ?

Fake NEWS....

jmaine:


Fake NEWS....

Of course, what do you expect? For him to admit it? Didn't you see 'for your eyes only'? It's for plausible denial

Shm... Keep defending fraudsters..

zlantanfan:
I have sat back to watch how the PDP e-rats have taken over nairaland dishing out series of propaganda back to back eg tinubu,oshomole made path to atiku.

The propaganda had been carefully kept to be bombarded in swaying opinions, while the pigs are already having their "victory lap" I do hope when they would be magmanimous in defeat when the inec brings them to default setting.


Like I always say, let wait for Saturday when reality kicks in

That is the gist. Saturday is around the corner. Going by what we read on nairaland and other social media platforms Atiku is the president in waiting. But things might be different in reality.

jmaine:


Shm... Keep defending fraudsters..

That's is what is obtained in the corporate world. It's called plausible deniability

They have bought thousands of PVC prepared to rig the election, this will not work. The use of PVC most be strictly followed.

PDP plans of rigging have all been shattered

PMB ALL THE WAY

modath:


Meaning what You can explain what they mean..

No wonder they have been burning the INEC offices in the SS and the SE. A container load of card readers was burnt just days ago all in effort to prevent the INEC from using the card readers

Don't mind the Idiots.

PDP Conceads

Joe joe the dreamer.

senatordave1:

They have found out that card reader will not allow massive inflation in the east.i still think they will get up to a million in delta,rivers and anambra while buhari will get close to 500k

What are you talking oga?

donphiilopus:


Get up to a million in Delta? Seems you don't know how they're canvassing for Buhari in Delta because they believe Ogboru stands a chance only when Buhari wins his election. Did you believe Magnus Abe could win that rerun election then? That's what would happen there come Saturday. Results are gonna be written there as usual. As for Anambra, there's no way a candidate can get up to a million vote there.

watch out and see how all south east card readers will malfunction,, APC get sense oo

I must laud the current opposition- PDP and CUPP. very good opposition. Buhari thinks it's 1983.

TonyeBarcanista:
Semantics is very important in this case. PDP isn't against card reader that the party introduced but only saying nobody should be disenfranchised

If PDP prayer is granted, they will dump the use of card readers completely in the south east and south south to pave way for rigging by casting maximum votes like 95% voters turn out. It has happened before when Jonathan claimed that three different card readers couldn't scan his Fingerprint

This is what they are thinking of using to declare 1.5 million votes in Rivers, e.t.c PDP rigged the 2015 elections in many SS states in 2015 though. I keep laughing at those making bogus projections for PDP on Feb. 16, election. There wont be any where PDP will score up to 1 million votes .. PDP will be lucky to score 900,000 votes in any state

nameo:
What the article is saying and the OP interpretation as well as the title are not the same.

This is just silly propaganda. And the OP has still not gotten it: APC kinda propaganda no longer works.

PDP is asking the court to prevent INEC from postponing elections where INEC itself cannot guarantee a card reader as will likely be the case in Anambra. . And they are very correct. Imagine Anambra been postponed cos some persons went to deliberately burn card readers needed for the election.

PDP is saying no to Osun type rigging.

I agree with them

your state after 16th

TIGRITIS:
So card reader that is already part of the electoral process should be cancelled because of your rigging plan? This thief must be mistaking Nigerians for his inherited online pigs.

Lay all foolish foundation to discredit the decision of Nigerians as much as you can, you Cameroonian thief and your inherited pigs will not go close to aso rock.

you are ignorant of the law

Why do PDP don't want card readers they are planning to rig d election by manual voting since no card readers to reject d PVCs they bought over in d SS & SE.

If true then drama upon drama.

It's a pity many people don't read. SMH
