The main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) should stop shopping for excuses to give Nigerians when its loses the 2019 elections, Director General of the Voice of Nigeria(VON) Osita Okechukwu has stated.
He said the PDP should instead concentrate on having a decent campaign in the run-off to the election.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was reacting
Reacting to the PDP’s outrage over appointment of Amina Zakari as chairperson of Election Collation Centre, Okechukwu said the party should leave propaganda and concentrate on real campaign.
He said: “One is constrained to advise the PDP to leave propaganda, stop shopping for excuses and concentrate more on real campaign.
“For the truth of the matter is that the electoral machine under the state of the art Card Reader, one of the greatest antidotes to rigging invention, is impeccable.
“There is no way Hajia Amina Zakari can manipulate the Card Reader process. How can she alter or stop the results from Enugu, Ekiti, Bayelsa or even Jigawa or any other State for that matter?
“I laughed when I saw my friend Kola, spokesman of the PDP banging the table that Amina will manipulate the results. How?
“Is she going to be the Returning Officer? Is PDP Agent going to sleep? Is there fear that he will be compromised by Amina?
“My understanding is that Amina’s role is more administrative than electoral result management, pure and simple.”
Speaking on the non- signing of the Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari, Okechukwu said: “President Buhari is a fan and beneficiary of the Card Reader and was even the one who reminded the National Assembly of the omission of the Card Reader.
“The Card Reader process which starts with immeasurable accreditation mechanism has plugged up to 98 percent of the traditional method of rigging.
“Please ask yourself why politicians resorted to vote-buying? Vote-Buying is now the main vice of our electoral process, not ballot box snatching or other rigging methods.
