The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has alleged that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party is purchasing Permanent Voter Cards in states where the APC is popular in order to decimate votes that would accrue to the opposition party.
Tinubu who spoke at the APC stakeholders’ meeting at its Lagos Secretariat, Acme Road, Ogba, Lagos, yesterday also insisted that the card readers should be used to frustrate the hatched rigging plot of the PDP.
Tinubu alleged that the PDP had been buying up PVCs and VIN numbers of voters at the cost of N10,000 not to win the election but to de-populate those who are interested in voting for APC.
“PDP is jittery; they are afraid of defeat and pressured INEC to shift the elections. On our part, we are ever ready. They have been buying peoples’ PVCs and destroying them because they know they cannot use them. They have embarked on de-population strategy.
“We are training some of our party members to be vote canvassers, vote defenders and we will train them to be everything in ICT so that they will be able to post election results to us. There is no way for PDP rigging. Though the party does not want card reader to be used, we are insisting it must be used. PDP can’t rig us out,” Tinubu said.
Also at the emergency meeting were Governor Babatunde Fashola, the APC governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Henry Ajomale.
