The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress is plotting to slow down election process in areas where he believes the PDP is stronger.
He added that the APC operatives involved had plans to deploy gadgets that would make the process quicker where the APC was stronger.
At the emergency meeting of the PDP on Tuesday, he said,, “We have just discovered that the APC have hired many of their operatives and have taken them to China to be trained, and they have been so trained, and they are back, and they are equipped with devices that are meant to slow or fasten our card readers,” he said.
“So, if you are in the South-south, South-east and North-central, you are likely to get your card readers to be slowed by those APC operatives. If you are from the North-west or North-east, the tendency is that they will use these machines to fast-track the readings of your card readers so that many of their supporters can vote while disenfranchising the other three zones.
“I thought you should know that we have supplied the information to the campaign council, and you will even see the copy of the machine which each and every one of those operatives is to hold. It is like a telephone but that is its job. I felt I should let you know, and you should be guided accordingly.”
