Osun Guber: How PDP, others are planning to manipulate election – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm over an
alleged electoral manipulation in the forthcoming governorship
election slated for September 22, by an act of compromising the
electronic card reading machines.

The party said some people have perfected plans to make room for the
usage of PVC without the card reader uploading photograph to identify
owners.

The Chairman of the party in the state, Prince Gboyega Famodun
disclosed this on Tuesday at a press conference in Osogbo, the Osun
State capital.

According to Famodun," This rigging technique had been used
successfully during the last Osun West Senatorial bye-election, which
resulted in the PDP having more votes than it would have had
legitimately.

"These electoral criminals are conniving with Corps members in charge
of the devices during accreditation process.

"Encouraged by their success during the last senatorial bye-election
in the Osun West senatorial district, the criminal riggers now plan to
extend their operation throughout the state on Saturday during the
governorship election.

"As a result of this, the APC is urging INEC to allow party agents
scrutinise the verification process in order to confirm the PVC
holder's image on the card reader.

"We are also urging security agencies to be on alert and get
themselves involved in the process so that the youth corps members who
will be used to perform this fraud during verification will be under
strict observation."
