Ondo: PDP Campaign Cautions INEC On Use of Zpad

The @OfficialPDPNig National Campaign Council for Ondo Governorship election cautions the @inecnigeria not to compromise the credibility of the coming October 10, 2020 Ondo Governorship election with the contemplation of...

... using the unreliable Zpad technology in voter accreditation process.

Our campaign recalls that the Zpad technology had failed during a test-run deployment for voter accreditation in Nasarawa bye-election; a situation that informed its rejection by @inecnigeria for voter accreditation in the September 19 Edo state governorship election,...

... where it was only used to assist in direct uploading of results to @inecnigeria’s virtual portal.

We therefore urge @inecnigeria to limit the Zpad technology to the purpose for which it has helped the commission to attain integrity as witnessed in the Edo governorship election.

Our campaign also charges @inecnigeria to discountenance the blackmail by the @OfficialAPCNg against the replacement of the over 5000 card readers that were burnt by @OfficialAPCNg agents to frustrate the conduct of a credible governorship election in Ondo state.

We also call on @inecnigeria to note that the @OfficialAPCNg is bent on its plots to frustrate the commission’s efforts following clear indications that there is no way its candidate, the failed Governor @RotimiAkeredolu, can win in a free, fair and credible election.

The @OfficialPDPNig campaign, standing with the people of Ondo state, demands that the Chairman of @inecnigeria, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, personally oversights the processes of recruitment of state polling officers.

Our demand is predicated on information available to us that @inecnigeria officials detailed to handle the process are about being compromised by the @OfficialAPCNg to engage their members as INEC adhoc staff with a view to using them to rig the election.

For us in the @OfficialPDPNig campaign, the irreducible minimum standard of the integrity for the Ondo election is to adapt the achievement attained by the commission in the September 19 Edo state governorship election.

We want to inform @inecnigeria and all stakeholders that we will follow every process in the Ondo election to ensure that the Ondo people are not robbed of their legitimate votes at any level of the electoral process

Moreover, our campaign restates our party’s demand that Governor @RotimiAkeredolu, his self-confessed militant and thug, Issac kekemeke and other @OfficialAPCNg agents of violence should be invited by @inecnigeria and security agencies and cautioned to desist from...

... acts of violence like the one recently perpetrated by them in Oba-Akoko, where our candidate, @TayoJegedeSAN, was almost assassinated, but for the intervention of the people.

It is instructive to note that after spending four years in a self-serving administration, Governor @RotimiAkeredolu has nothing to offer the people of Ondo state except a campaign of violence and divisive tendencies.

Governor @RotimiAkeredolu, in his self-serving administration cannot point to any developmental project that he has contributed to Ondo outside violence, entrenchment of corruption and enrichment of his cronies,...

... relations and their cohorts with resources meant for the wellbeing of the people of Ondo.

The @OfficialPDPNig campaign therefore appreciates the overwhelming support accorded to our candidate, @TayoJegedeSAN, across the length and breadth of Ondo state which signposts the end of the misrule of Governor Akeredolu and the @OfficialAPCNg in the state.
