The energy being dissipated by the All Progressive Congress in
\nadvocating for the use of card reader in the coming elections has been
\ndescribed as another sinister motive of the party to cause confusion
\nduring and after the election.<\/p>\n
The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose said this in a
\nstatement made available to journalists by his Chief Press Secretary,
\nMr Idowu Adelusi in Ado Ekiti on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Fayose noted that APC is known for its penchant for promotion of
\nconfusion and division in Nigeria for political gain even at the
\nexpense of the well being and unity of the country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He explained that in as much as the usage of the card reader is noble
\nthe preparation of the INEC for it has been very poor which is
\nbelieved to be a conspiracy between the electoral body with the APC if
\nthe agitation of the APC on the card reader is anything to rely upon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr Fayose explained that INEC Chairman Professor Attahiru Jega has
\ntold Nigerian that the card reader battery can go flat at most five
\nhour which means that unless there is alternative power supply the
\nmachine will be rendered useless after the battery has gone flat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The question now is that will the INEC provide power generators in
\neach of the poling unit in the whole country so that by the time the
\nbattery is down the electoral officers could switch to the alternative
\npower; Without this the introduction of the card reader is nonsense.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The governor also said that Nigerian should know that INEC has never
\nhidden the fact that the card readers are internet base in delivery
\nand considering the fact that most of the Nigeria towns and villages
\nare not fixed with internet that means that the card can not deliver
\nuntil when it get to where there is internet to deliver its result
\nthen it means that the usage would be a failure because a lot of
\ncontradictory information would have dealt havoc on the entire
\nexercise before the card reader can deliver its results.<\/p>\n
Fayose estressed that when the election in Ekiti and Osun States were
\nconducted the Independent National Electoral Commission didn’t use the
\ncard reader , APC did not cry wolf so also when the governorship
\nelections in Anambra and Edo States were conducted without card reader
\nAPC didn’t raise a foot but now that they know there is no way its
\npresidential candidate can win without rigging they want Nigeria to
\nsee sense in the usage of card reader that had never be tested or
\nacknowledged to be free from manipulation.<\/p>\n
“I can say boldly that the leadership of APC have hidden agenda in the
\nusage of the card reader that is why their clamour for it has been so
\nvociferous when they know abinitio that there is no way their patty
\ncan win this election.”<\/p>\n
“They are looking for preemptive excuses for violence during and after
\nthe election so that they can gain some undue sympathy whereas the
\nusage of the card reader is not important to the election as the
\navailability of security which they campaigned against like hell on
\nearth”<\/p>\n
The Governor posited that in all the recent elections where has the
\nuse of card reader became a disputable discus to warrant the
\nunwarranted campaign for it by the APC saying that the party has left
\ncampaign for their ailing presidential candidate, Major General
\nMohamodu Buhari to card reader in which they believe could be
\nmanipulated in their favour and when it fails to blame it on PDP or
\nPresident Goodluck Jonathan thereby their supporters can go to town
\nwith their chaos.<\/p>\n
He added that APC as a pary has never supported or advanced the course
\nof progress of Nigeria, rather the party enjoys seeing the nation in
\ncrisis always that is why their recent clamour for the usage of card
\nreader gas further exposed their retrogressive antics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
