Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has dismissed the allegation by the All Progressives Congress that the PDP was planning to rig elections in Adamawa State.
In a swift reaction yesterday night to Alhai Lai Mohammed’s allegations, Fani-Kayode said, “There is no question of us wanting to rig in Adamawa or anywhere else. It is yet another manifestation of the delusions of the APC. We are committed to a free and fair election in every part of Nigeria including Adamawa.
“On the allegation that we wanted the manual accreditation in order to rig, how can any responsible party accept a situation whereby Card Readers are not functioning properly and they don’t want Nigerian people to have a fall-back position?
“The reason why the APC are comfortable with this dysfunctional Card Reader is because from day one, they wanted to use the Card Reader system to rig the election and disfranchise millions of our supporters.
“If they have nothing to hide or if they did not have any sinister and evil agenda, they would have encouraged INEC to adopt any other system including the manual system that would enable people to vote. They do not want that because they are a party of riggers and it is their intention to rig this election. We would not allow that to happen.”
