ABUJA-THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP House of Representatives caucus Monday met to strategise on how to ensure that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC jettisons the use of a card reader in the forthcoming elections.

Vanguard reliably gathered that PDP lawmakers who were invited by their leaders to design ways and means to ensure that the card reader described as an alien instrument was constitutional.

Some of the lawmakers who spoke to Vanguard under the condition of anonymity said the card reader has not been tested in any part of the country and should not be tested with a major election like that of presidential and. National Assembly elections.

They argued that its usage now may spell doom for the general elections if it finally fails at the wee hours of the election.

A top ranking member of the House told Vanguard that ”using the card reader in an important election like this is dangerous as its veracity has not been ascertained.
He explained further that ”another issue INEC must urgently look into is that of the card reader that has turned into another major source of concern”.

“This is the first time the apex electoral body is using it and for a very sensitive election like that of the presidential election and that of the National Assembly it could spell doom if it suddenly packs up”.

“If it fails what happens because it has not been tested in any part of Nigeria it would have been better if it is used to conduct a bye election not a major election like this one because it has not been properly verified”.

The meeting which was held in a major hotel in Apo axis of Abuja was well attended by PDP lawmakers.

As at the time of filing this report the meeting was still on-going.

PDP heeeen,

no matter how much secret meeting. GMB is the answer May 29 by God grace

The card readers shall surely be used. No doubt about that.
There's nothing anybody can do about it.

They want to rig the election. They cannot dictate to INEC. INEC is an independent body that should be left to do what is best for the upcoming election. PDP can never win a free and fair election anywhere in Nigeria.

Make dis election just come and go jare.No be one day dem day start something. Dem nv first use the card readers for other countries?

the fear of card readers is the beginning of fear of losing elections by PDP.

I dey laugh!

If all those analysis about d card reader given by inec re quite true den pdp ll defintely find it difficult to use deir motto (rigging machines) dis time

Whether PDP oppose or not, the party can only rig where they're popular.

Just watching 28th march far away from pluto..

Forget using technology to fight corruption use your TVC (and those of goats, your whole extended family) today.

PDP in power is the biggest problem in Nigeria.

On card. Reader we stand

Surely they will gather....but they will gather in vain

Am concerned anyone against INEC @ this time
Isn't patriotic

Ko possible

I dey laugh!

What wont the PDP fear? they fear GMB,they fear elections, they fear jail, they fear PVC, now they fear CARD READER. Berem, what is the issue between Barcanistar and Gbawe? Both are intelligent members that I respect and enjoy their opinions on this forum. I also don't see Obiageli as frequently as she used to be?

Hmmm

Am nt suprised.
D card reader is 99% rigging free and pdp cant do without rigging eg ekiti

buhari for a gud,free and fair election.
Buhari 4 president

Criminals looking for every available scam to thwart their impending thrashing at the polls.
GEJ's days are numbered.

Pls my good people don't waste ur vote is better not to vote at all than to waste ur time, energy and money

Pls vote APC for the real transformation Nigeria deserved


Hated by many, wanted by few, disliked by
some, confronted by many, what a failed
Government. we know that even the devil
still have followers so its not big deal still
seeing them standing firmly for the failed
government.

PDP looks so unsettled despite the postponement,they are still undecided on how to rigg the elections........
I can smell defeat already brewing......

Though the use of the card reader may help for credible election, but it is
really supposed to be tested before a big election like this.

I could remember, during voters card registration before 2011 election,
alot of people were unable to register on time because the system failed to detect their finger print
