Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loathes Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), and therefore is averse to its use in the forthcoming election.
The governor also accused the ruling party of being petrified by the use of PVC because it would expose their alleged rigging methods and stop electoral fraud.
Oshiomhole made the statement on Wednesday, February 26, while receiving over 2,000 PDP members, who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, at Government House.
He said: “You can see they are running away from card readers like armed robbers running away from police detectives. They hate the card reader. The elections must hold and the card readers must be used. Electoral fraud must come to an end.”“The Nigerian people must be the masters of their own game, using the one man one vote mantra. Those who have lived on electoral fraud are now being retrenched by the new technology.”
“But let me ask you to watch out because right now, they take advantage of the very people they have impoverished to buy their cards. They can do everything but they cannot stop their defeat.”
