ASABA-LEADERSHIP of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the South South region, yesterday warned the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC not to use the card reader to rig the party out of power in the March 28 presidential election.

Handing the warning during the South South zonal executive meeting of the party, in Asaba, chairman of the PDP in the zone, Dr Cairo Ojuogbo said the zone was against the decision of INEC to make its chairman, Prof Attaihiru Jega the sole of appointee of collation officers across States in the federation for the March 28 presidential and National Assembly elections.

Ojuogbo however said the PDP in South South was not against the card reader, but it should not be used to disenfranchise eligible voters from casting their votes, stressing that anybody with the Permanent Voters Card, PVC should be allowed to vote.

Disclosing that whether the card reader would be used for the election or not, he said the issue was being handled by the party at the national level. On the appointment of collation officers, he alleged that Prof Jega had already directed one his aids who is a card carrying member of the APC to nominate those to be appointed as collation officers for the elections.

According to him, INEC has a chairman and 12 commissioners with two being appointed from each of the zones in the country, adding that the commissioners from the zones should be allowed to appoint collation officers in their areas and not only the chairman solely making the appointments.

Speaking further, Ojougbo said the South South region would give bloc votes for President Goodluck Jonathan, insisting that the party has worked very hard to earn the votes of the people.

He commended party faithful for their commitment towards the reelection of Dr Goodluck Jonathan and expressed optimism that their efforts would yield positive results.

Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs, Dr Steve Oru, who also spoke during the meeting, assured that the people of the South South region would vote enmasse for the PDP. Chairman of the party in the Delta Central, Chief Tom Amioku who spoke in the same vain enjoined the party leadership not to be disturbed with the rumour making the rounds that the urhobos would not vote for the PDP

The PDP Governorship flagbearer in Delta State, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa said he was confident of victory for PDP in all the elections, adding that the party was not scared of loosing any of the elections because it was working hard to secure the peoples votes.

Failures..

Giving excuse for their failure b4 elections.

Na wah for PDP and this card reader matter o. They must truly have something sinister in mind for rejecting it.

Those card readers better work perfectly on that day or we might just set this country on fire.

For a tensed election such as this, are we ready for this card reader technology?

What if the batteries run out before accreditation?
What if touts come in and snatch the reader?
What if bonafide electorate finger prints cannot be read?
Are we ready for the law suits that will follow disenfranchisement from these readers?
Why if law enforcement agents in connivance with a party simulate violence to destroy these gadgets?

Are we ready for the outcome? Before you quote this is Nigeria and the politicians are desperate. They will rig with or without the card readers but are we ready for tge outcome? Are the INEC officers safe with this?

If there is an incident form to allow anyone with a card accredited, why then do we have a card reader?

[size=13pt]PDP isn't scared of card readers. They are scared of free and fair elections [/size]

Lol na jega go cast d 60 million vote? PDP re just being jittery cos deir riggin galour don expire.

Heard dey have deir own card reader now I guess wat dey ll need now is tapping into INEC data base.

The fear of card readers is really causing panic in PDP.

Jega carry go joor! Nothing dey happen!

how is card reader related to rigging

lol..dont even knw to say. u mean the country on fire or ur zone on fire

PDP always afraid of a free and transparent election. Change has come. Sai Buhari.

From every indication, PDP may rig this election using the card reader to the amazement of the opposition.

Reasons
The incident form is now a big loophole to the accuracy of number of voters in a particular polling unit.

Jega is not incharge of technical department of inec hence anything can happen before, during and after the election leading to massive cancellation of opposition booths on the account of alleged rigging.

The cry by PDP on the use of the card reader may be a plan to deceive APC who may have a legitimate reason to reject the outcome of the elections.

Beware - The more you look the less you see

incident form has a limitation of 15%

emiye:

No, it is now dependent on the approval of the party agents.

Well said..

But I am sure the APC hav got their own plans too, to rig this election and probably in a smarter way.. They are always a step ahead of the PDP..

If the use of card reader and PVC is what we need to get the PDP out of our lives in Nigeria so be it. Nigerians are suffocating under the rough grip of the PDP 1999.

Ngwakwe:

I am not aware of that new directive, what i think will be that of the 15% incident form, the party agents must still approve of it for it to be filled.

That's true.

If the elections were allowed on 14th February, APC would have scientifically rigged the elections.

As it stands now, PDP done settle Jega's boys behind their boss.

The two parties are devil incarnate.

In this 21st Century, where every Nation is advancing technologically. The PDP.IG and the "Igbo's" have decided to be retrogressing instead of progressing, they blindly oppose the use of card reader as if their life is attached to it.

But wait o. These people have forgotten they are just minority, when the no of eligible voters in South South And South East is too small compare to what we have on ground in North west alone.


PDP.IG are just afraid of their well reserved failure, a great doom awaits them on march 28.

Meanwhile, Sai Buhari!

Jega said it, that every voter with a valid PVC must be allowed to vote with the consent of party agents while the card reader records only those cards authenticated the fingerprints.

Same blood flows tru the veins and arteries of these people. They won't spew one trash without garnishing it with threat. Una yansh don open, card reader don come and nothing can stop it. U all shld keep taking after Mama #Peaceout.

ok, i believe you, but i am still for the card readers in many ways.

!1. It identifies a fake card 2. It strikes fear in to the intending impersonator, as the card reader will also display the pix and the bio data of the owner, a 30 year old looking man holding a card that will display a different face and a 56 year old man knows he must have lots of explanation to do.

Proper procedure is very important

The PVC collection rate in the North is a perpetuation of electoral and census fraud.

You should know by now that Nigeria has so many political ghost polling booths where a man determines the outcome.

The incident form is now a lifeline for those ghost polling Booths to function.

The noise about the collection rate in the north a fraud is nauseating, every geo-political zones tends to have attitudes and perception to a process, there is no prove that fraud was involved, sw has the worst collection rae of the 6 geo political zones, 4 out of 6 of these states are APC controlled state.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to rig. The opposition is now national in outlook, it controls 40% of the 36 state structures and has the ability to install agents in the over 120,000 polling booths,also.

The consequences of not using card readers at all is worse than using the card readers half heartedly.

To rig, the rigger will now have to manufacture names from the voters register to fill incident forms, and hope everyone at the polling booth is completely one way

There are only ghosts and one man in many interior polling booths across Nigeria and this man has the complete list of voters in his Booth.

Secondly, do you think those IT technicians uploading those name to the card readers are infallible?

There is this rumour that those Card readers can be preloade with authenticated voters before accreditation.

There is enough money to go round now.
