PDP Isn’t Afraid Of Card Reader- Sambo

Despite the PDP Governors’ Forum and some top officials of
the party have openly kicked against the use of card reader by the Independent
National Electoral Commission for the forthcoming general elections, the Vice
President of Nigeria, Namadi Sambo yesterday  while speaking during an interactive session
he had with members of the Kano State chapter of the Nigerian Union of
Journalists, was quoted by his spokesman, Umar Sani to have said the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, isn’t sacred of the card reader, but what the party
actually wants is a free and fair election which the card reader cannot
guarantee. Continue…

“One thing I will tell you is that PDP is not afraid of
anything, not even the card reader. We are not afraid of the card reader. To be
very honest, what we want is free and fair elections.

“We don’t want anything to go wrong through the use of the
card reader. In Ebonyi State, the INEC commissioner there said he is going to
repeat the testing and in so many other states there have been problems with
the card reader, to the extent that INEC themselves have introduced an
incidence form.

“That is why we are saying, let us do this thing properly.”
