The Peoples’ Democratic Party \u00a0has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) for its claim that the ruling party plans to\u00a0render the card readers ineffective on Election Day.<\/p>\n
\n
It described \u00a0the allegation as \u00a0wild and baseless.<\/p>\n
In a statement in Abuja signed by Femi Fani-Kayode, the PDP said \u00a0\u00a0the Federal Government and the PDP did not have any plans to sabotage the card readers and did not need to indulge in such shady, sinister and tardy practices.<\/p>\n
\n
According to him, \u201cwe view this wild and baseless allegation with amusement. Frankly the APC deserves to be pitied. So desperate are they for power that their latest strategy is to come up with a different lie for every day of the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have lost control of their senses; their imagination has gone wild and they see things that are simply not there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis latest allegation is absurd; it is not rooted in truth; it is irrational and it is illogical. It is clear that the opposition are already preparing the grounds and making excuses for their own defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are running scared and they are already preparing the minds of their supporters for their imminent failure at the polls.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of saying something tangible and attempting to ginger up and encourage their supporters, all they indulge in is giving them a daily dose of sub-standard fairy tales and dirty lies. They should stop all this nonsense and desist from making these wild and baseless allegations.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP do not have any plans to sabotage the card readers and neither do we need to indulge in such shady, sinister and tardy practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to the elections which will commence in two weeks time and we have no doubt that the overwhelming number of the Nigerian people will vote for our candidates and support our party.\u201d<\/p>\n
