The All Progressives Congress ( APC ) has congratulated the
Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) on its
decision to use the card reader for the forthcoming
elections .
In a statement by Dele Alake, Director of Strategic
Communications of the party’ s Presidential Campaign
Organisation, the APC said that with INEC ’ s decision to use
the card readers and its insistence on accepting only the
Permanent Voter Cards ( PVCs ) for voting , a massive blow
has been dealt to the carefully laid out rigging plans of the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) .
The party further disclosed that INEC ’ s decision has derailed
the PDP ’ s plans to massively deploy cloned voter cards on
the days of the elections .
Alake called on all Nigerians to back INEC in what he called
its “patriotic decision ” so that the forces of retrogression
will not sway the electoral umpire to change its mind .
