2023: Residents Raise Alarm Over APC’s Alleged Rigging Plot in Ondo South
Concerned residents of different communities in Ondo south senatorial district of Ondo state have raised alarm over an alleged plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and it’s southern senatorial candidate, Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim, to rig the February 25th election through an indirect data collection process.
The rigging process is planned through a surreptitious software theft of data on voters’ cards by the ruling party in Ondo state, by the issuance of a purported “Social Welfare Card” christened card ÀSEYORÍ to unsuspecting citizens, Nigeriancablenewsonline.com has gathered.
The residents, who pleaded anonymity, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and law enforcement agencies to nib the situation in the bud by putting a halt to this process immediately, and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“We have considered it imperative to call the attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Nigeria Police Force and most importantly, the general public to the ongoing illegal, clandestine and cunning collection of personal data of Voters’ Cards of the electorates across the six local government areas of Ondo South Senatorial District through the issuance of a purported “Social Welfare Card” christened card ÀSEYORÍ by the members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) and its Senatorial candidate, Dr Jimoh Ibrahim.”
“The card specifically demands the applicant’s NAME, ADDRESS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, VOTERS NUMBER, WARD & UNIT. The implications of this is that the unsuspecting applicants would willingly surrendered the same data and information already supplied to INEC to the APC for easy access and possible software theft of their Voters’ Cards.”
“Ultimately, this is tantamount to surreptitious software theft of data on voters’ cards by the ruling party in Ondo state to prepare the ground for scientific rigging of the 2023 General Elections.”
“We therefore urge the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Nigeria Police Force, the State Security Services and other security agencies to nib this ugly situation in the bud by putting a halt to this illegality immediately, and bring the perpetrators to justice.” Sources told Nigerian Cable News online.
