APC accuses PDP of enlisting Russian hackers to compromise 2019 elections

- The APC accused the PDP of plotting to compromise the 2019 elections

- The party claimed the PDP has enlisted the help of Russina harckers

- It said this is the outcome of the party's Dubai meeting

The All progressives Congress (APC) has raised allegation against the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accusing the party of enlisting the help of Russian hackers to compromise 2019 elections.

Vanguard reports that Yekini Nabena who is the deputy national publicity secretary of the APC in an interview in Abuja claimed the PDP is working towards compromising the servers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in next February’s general elections.

Nabena also wondered why the PDP was now against same law that it had used in conducting past elections in the country.

He said what the PDP is doing now is a result of its plan that its perfected during their recent meeting in Dubai with Atiku Abubakar.

He said: “The Act we are using now was created by the PDP. They created a law and they are now afraid to use it. That does not sound right. What the PDP are doing, they are playing out what they designed in Dubai. They started with the labour strike on minimum wage in order to cause problems in the country but it did not work; they brought ASUU strike, it did not work and then they tried to instigate fuel scarcity which also did not work. These were all part of their grand design in Dubai and so the last bid is the Electoral Act. Look at the way they are going about it, saying if the president does not sign it, they will file on to the streets in demonstration. Look at them, at their age. But we are waiting for them.

“Normally if you vote, the Electoral Officer is supposed to count the votes and announce them before transmitting to the collation centre. But now you are telling us that they do not need to announce the votes, that they should just transmit.

"That is all part of their Dubai plan, trying to bring in Russian agents to hack the system. That is their joker. To hack into the system and manipulate The figures before transmitting them. Saraki and all of them went to Russia and perfected the plan with the hackers. So, we all know what they are trying to do…trying to bring in stolen money into the system, but vote buying and money politics won’t work this time around.”

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Nigerians to be wary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, in the weeks leading up to the 2019 elections.

Legit.ng reports that in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC accused Atiku of not wanting to sign the national peace accord ahead of the 2019 elections.

Atiku signed the accord on Wednesday, December 12, a day after other presidential candidates, including President Muhammadu Buhari, signed it in Abuja.

His absence was blamed on a “communication lapse” between the national peace committee, organisers of the accord, and the PDP national secretariat.

But in a statement, the APC said the excuse given is “hogwash” as the PDP and its candidate were invited at the same time as other political parties and their candidates.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
