DSS Revelations On Discovery From APC Data Centre Vindicates Us --PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said it has been vindicated by
yesterday's revelation by the Department of State Security Services
that the All Progressives Congress, APC, planned to compromise the
electoral process by hacking into INEC's data base, with the aim of
rigging the February general elections.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on
Wednesday, said Nigerians and the international community can now see
that the ruling party was not crying wolf when it earlier raised an
alarm that the opposition party was cloning INEC's Permanent Voters
Card, PVC, and utilizing technologies to hack into the commission's
data base.

"When we alerted Nigerians that the APC is on a sinister mission
against this country some people dismissed us as crying wolf and
playing to the gallery. Now that they have been exposed, the world can
see that the APC is indeed a party of criminals in desperate quest for
power.

"Everyone now knows on what strength a party which lacks genuine
followership among the people has been boasting that it will emerge
victorious in the elections with threats of violence if it loses.

"It is shocking that while other parties are working hard to win
votes, the APC was busy procuring hacking equipment and training their
members on how to subvert the will of the people and steal their
mandate. This is indeed a slap in the face of Nigerians and the worst
assault on our democracy.

"What can the supporters of the APC say now that they have been
exposed? What can they say now that the true colour of a party, which
has been parading itself in a messianic robe has finally been
revealed?

"The APC and its leaders, especially its Presidential candidate,
General Muhammadu Buhari, with his so-called moral credentials, are a
huge disgrace to our nation. They have proven to be persons of
questionable character who should not be entrusted with leadership.
They should hide their faces in shame and seek forgiveness from God
and the people", the statement said.

Calling on Nigerians to continue to be vigilant, Metuh urged the
security agencies not to rest on their oars while charging INEC to
ensure that "it is not complicit in this heinous crime against the
Nigerian state and its people".

The ruling party also urged that all those found culpable in the
criminal plot should be made to face the full wrath of the law.
