Card Reader: We’re Vindicated – PDP by Nobody: 7:08am On Mar 29, 2015

The Peoples Democratic Party has said that reports of challenges with the use of voter card readers across Nigeria have vindicated its opposition to the deployment of the device.

While card readers functioned smoothly at various voting centres during Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections, there were complaints from many centres about slow or completely dysfunctional machines.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, authorised the use of manual verification of voters after several complaints.

The PDP, which had opposed the use of card readers for the elections, said the development has justified its argument against card readers.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, told PREMIUM TIMES the ruling party had been vindicated.

“It was only the PDP that raised the issue of the challenges we might have with card readers. We said INEC should rectify or discard the card readers.

“When we raised these issues, people said we were being alarmist and opposed to the card readers. Now the election is going on and there are challenges with the card readers all over the country,” he said.

He added that as things stand, PDP was only concerned about “free, fair and credible election”.

“All we want is for this election to be free, fair and credible. If anyone rigs this election, it would be obvious to Nigerians.”

The Peoples Democratic Party had led other groups and individuals to pose stiff opposition to the use of the card readers for the elections.

PDP's fear of card readers is the fear of defeat. Hearing card readers alone sends shivers down their spine. Say no to rigging, say no to GEJ.

Mtcheeew....

Were the card readers not test runned?

Is it only pdp members that were affected?

Is it not expected that such a thing might happen?

Anyway.... Thats a sure way for them to know that their talk of fighting corruption with technology will fail.

Can't wait to start seeing pdp members rent space in kirikiri maximum prison yard

The card reader incident will be a trigger for unprecedented court cases.

Manual accreditation was not implemented until 1pm when most frustrated eligible voters had left the PUs because of the failure of the card readers

Jega should be prepared to face the gun as all unbiased stakeholders shared the same fear on the insistence of a first time use of a technology in a tensed presidential election.
