The All Progressives Congress has said the Peoples Democratic Partys opposition to the use of Card Readers during the oncoming elections has shown the accuracy of the APCs accusations that the ruling party plans to either prevent the election from holding or to rig it.

In a statement in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described as very curious the fact that the PDP that rushed to the press to deny the APCs claims, quickly turned around to confirm them.

The party said, At the press conference we addressed on Wednesday, which rattled the PDP and the President Goodluck Jonathan Administration so much, we listed the conditionalities of the PDP/Jonathan Administration for holding the election: No PVC, No Card Reader, No Jega and the fact that the party wants the military deployed to harass and intimidate voters.

We mentioned Card Readers at least three times during the press conference, and said they (PDP/Jonathan Administration) are doing everything possible to sabotage the machine and prevent its use.

Both the spokesmen for the PDP and the Jonathan Campaign Organisation rushed to the press to deny any such reprehensible plan. But a few hours later, the spokesman for the campaign organisation told an incredulous country that they would oppose the use of Card Reader, apparently after the spokesmen were overruled by their party.

APC added, Obviously, these men are outsiders in their own party and it is now obvious that the opposition knows more about the inner workings of their party than they do.

In an apparently-choreographed show, some 15 portfolio political parties called a press conference to also announce that they will oppose the use of the Card Reader, vowing to boycott the elections and use a legal process to prevent the use of the machine.

The party said these syndicated threats are the latest indications of the mortal fear in the corridors of power about the machine that has now become the nemesis of election riggers and manipulators worldwide.

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Wednesday urged the South-West to ignore President Goodluck Jonathans repeated promises to implement the National Conference report.

The APC campaign said the Presidents promises contained nothing that approximates to the zones collective interest.

According to the organisation, whilst it was not averse to any group supporting any candidate for the forthcoming general elections, it considered it important to state that a recent purported endorsement of Jonathan by former Confab conferees from the South-West was predicated on spurious and utterly dishonest reasons.

This was contained in a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign, Malam Garba Shehu.

He noted that the points of the Yoruba agenda that could have favoured the South-West, including regional autonomy, restructuring, devolution of power and parliamentary system, could not sail through at the conference.

Shehu alleged that the real reason for the endorsement was the because of personal economy.

The statement read, Some of them have had their personal finances transformed by way of juicy but dubious security contracts and handsome cash largesse by the government of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan at the expense of Nigerian people.

We consider it asinine that any group can predicate its support for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan on his promise to respect any agreement. The antecedents of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan speak eloquently of a serial promise breaker, unreliable keeper of gentlemanly agreement and unabashed turncoat!

It will be recalled that the first real show of Dr. Goodluck Jonathans immense capacity for not keeping to pacts was when he, in 2010, conveniently walked away from his partys North/South zoning arrangement, of which he was signatory to, with indescribable villainy.

The campaign argued that of all the 492 members of the National confab members, none was elected by the people.
