APC jittery, blackmailing INEC over BVAS – PDP  

Abuja Ahead of 2023 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Thursday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is jittery over the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

The Independent National Electoral Committee (INEC) has insisted that it will deploy BVAS in the 2023 elections.

APC national chairman, Adamu Abdullahi, had Wednesday said, “First, I was privileged to serve as a Senator. Our concern is how ready are we to deploy some of these technologies as regards transmission because we are taking a major step in transmitting election results in real-time.”

Reacting to this, the director of Strategic Communications of the PDP Presidential Campaign organizations, Dele Momodu, while interacting with journalists, expressed surprise that at this time and age, APC still want Nigeria to operate analog elections. 

The director, Strategic Communication, said the world has gone digital and anything that will eliminate political thuggery, cheating and rigging, adding that “I will expect any reasonable political party to support it”.
