The PDP yesterday warned INEC not to use the card reader to rig the party out of power in the forthcoming elections.
This was said by Dr. Cairo Ojuogbo during a South-South zonal executive meeting of the party in Asaba.
He said that the party was not against the card readers, but it was against the disenfranchising of voters.
Vanguard says:
According to him, INEC has a chairman and 12 commissioners with two being appointed from each of the zones in the country, adding that the commissioners from the zones should be allowed to appoint collation officers in their areas and not only the chairman solely making the appointments. Speaking further, Ojougbo said the South-South region would give bloc votes to President Goodluck Jonathan, insisting that the party has worked very hard to earn the votes of the people.
He commended party faithful for their commitment to the reelection of Dr Jonathan and expressed optimism that their efforts would yield positive results.Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Dr Steve Oru, who also spoke during the meeting, assured that the people of the South South would vote enmasse for the PDP. Chairman of the party in the Delta Central, Chief Tom Amioku who spoke in the same vein enjoined the party leadership not to be disturbed by the rumours that the Urhobo would not vote for the PDP.
