The Peoples Democratic Party has vowed to resist the All Progressive Congress (APC) in its attempt to rig the 2015 general elections with the discovery of a data base where it is alleged the the party was cloning voters cards.
a press statement today by PDP said: “At the weekend, the Directorate of State Security (DSS) made a shockingdiscovery to the effect that the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has been engaged in the cloning of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and
utilizing technologies to hack into INEC’s data base to compromise the
2015 general elections.
This discovery at the APC office in Lagos is a clear confirmation of our
stand, and fears by well-meaning Nigerians of APC’s criminal
desperation, lust for power, plot to cause confusion and truncate our
democracy.
Indeed, Nigerians now know on what strength the APC, a party that
clearly lacks genuine followership among the citizens, has been boasting
that they will emerge victorious in the 2015 general elections and
threatening to form a parallel government if they lose.
Since its formation, the APC has been accusing everyone including INEC
and security agencies of working to rig the 2015 elections in favour of
the PDP. Little did Nigerians realize that such were smokescreens
designed to divert attention from their heinous and unpatriotic plots.
W believe that the APC, in its desperate attempt to grab power by all
means, has already established cloning and hacking centers in all the 36
states of the federation to actualize their dubious machination to
subvert the will of the people.
We insist that the cloning of INEC PVCs is criminal and strikes at the
very heart of our electoral process. We share the fear of a majority of
Nigerians that the APC may have already started cloning ballot papers
and other election documents.
It is in this regard that we call on all Nigerians and lovers of
democracy across the world to note the desperation of the APC. Our
citizens must therefore remain vigilant and resist any attempt by the
APC to steal their mandate.
We also call on security agencies to fully investigate this atrocious
cloning and ensure that whoever is found culpable faces the full weight
of the law.
This development also places an additional burden on INEC, which must
now work to prove that it is not complicit in this heinous crime against
the Nigerian state and its people.
Nigerians have made huge sacrifices for the democracy we enjoy today and
we cannot afford to surrender it on the altar of blind ambition and
narrow interest of the APC.”
