Secondus blasts INEC over smart phone ban

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has condemned the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ban the use of smart phones at polling booths saying the commission is perfecting rigging formula for the ruling All Progressives, APC.

Secondus who spoke during an interactive session with PDP leaders in Bayelsa State on Tuesday said that Nigerians must rise up to frustrate all the rigging strategies being perfected between INEC and the APC.

He said INEC’s decision on the use of smart phones was a deliberate plan to kill means of gathering evidence against their alleged rigging arrangements which was being fine-tuned and tested in Ekiti and Osun states.

According his media aide, Ike Abonyi, the national chairman said that the regime of APC was killing Nigeria and its citizens.

“They have borrowed over N11 trillion, yet there is nothing to show, hunger is raving the land and people are dying daily across the country,” he said.

He said that critical stakeholders and the international community were worried at the debt profile of the administration which had “risen to such astronomical level amidst huge corruption in the system.”

“I crave your indulgence to stand up against all the evil plots of the APC by collecting your PVC and using it judiciously to vote them out in all elections in 2019,” he said.

Secondus said the country was under siege with the APC government harassing and intimidating critical organs of the government – the Judiciary, the Legislature and individuals  – in its mission to cow and suppress dissenting voices.
