VP Sambo says PDP is sure of Victory at Polls
The Vice President, Namadi Sambo, has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party is not doubtful of victory as the General elections draw nearer.
Sambo made this known in a statement via his spokesman, Umar Sani, who had an interactive session with members of the Kano State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists.
Speaking about the ruling party’s opposition of the use of card readers, he said: “We are not afraid of the card reader.
“One thing I will tell you is that PDP is not afraid of anything, not even the card reader. We are not afraid of the card reader. To be very honest, what we want is free and fair elections.
“We don’t want anything to go wrong through the use of the card reader. In Ebonyi State, the INEC commissioner there said he is going to repeat the testing and in so many other states there have been problems with the card readers, to the extent that INEC itself has introduced an incidence form. That is why we are saying, let us do this thing properly.
“As a party, we believe in the rule of law. That was why we signed the Freedom of Information Act. Even to address the issue of corruption, you must start from a free, fair and credible election. If you don’t do it, you have not started to address corruption.”
