Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola yesterday said that it was against the concept of democracy for PDP governors to reject INEC's decision to use card readers in the forthcoming elections.
He said that the PDP governors are afraid of using the card readers because they know the device will prevent rigging and multiple voting.
According to him, the use of card readers “has placed a moral burden on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan since the proposal to use the card readers was funded by the federal government.”
“The PDP government is afraid of defeat. That is why they are kicking against the use of card readers. The Jonathan administration funded and promoted the idea of PVCs when INEC proposed it.
“Now that they realise that it will be difficult for them to rig the election if the card readers are used, they want to change the rules at the middle of the game. It is not possible. Card readers will help prevent rigging.”
