The party supposedly wanted them having stolen permanent voter cards (PVCs) to rig the March 28 presidential election in favour of APC presidential aspirant.

Malam Garba Shehu, media and publicity director of the APC campaign said: “If this clandestine plan is hatched like the use of the military to rig the polls in governorship election in Ekiti State last year, or the underhand treatment currently being given to INEC and other state institutions, we in the APC and majority of fellow Nigerian men and women would disbelieve it, resist it and question it till such an oppressive decision is rescinded and the anomaly rectified.”
He clarified that “information at our disposal show that certain state agencies like the Customs, Immigration, Police and so on are waiting on the wings to mop up PVC across the country (possibly from illegal immigrants) and bundle them on hapless religious leaders and District Heads of Northern extraction, to corroborate PDP’s over-flogged narrative that people in the Northern States have collected voter’s cards by proxy; even though INEC top-shots have publicly denied such allegations. The ploy to also heap this electoral offence on APC cum Buhari supporters is, to say the least, dastardly, cruel and heinous.”
“Election must not be seen or taken as a do-or-die affair. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians and the best hands should govern it. After all, the opposition has won elections in Senegal, Ghana, Sri Lanka, among others. Why should ours be an exemption?” Shehu questioned.

“What President Jonathan and his party should learn from their multifarious campaign of malice and mudslinging, to which millions of state funds are daily being pumped, is that Nigerians are not buying their lies and they will voice out their anger through the ballot at the polls in March and April,” the comment said.

The campaign spokesperson added: “No amount of cajolement or harassment can bottle the people’s power to elect their leaders. It is a constitutional right that not even the military has the power to remove. General Buhari is a man of proven integrity and honesty. These are the tangible and incorruptible attributes that endear him to the masses.”
Meanwhile, another rigging plot was recently disclosed by on-line news agency, where people presenting incumbent President were involved in bribing aiming to win governorship elections in Ekiti State.
But ahead of the coming elections both parties from time to time accused each other of different crimes, trying to discredit the opponent. So the information is yet to be confirmed.
