‘Why are you speaking on behalf of INEC?’ — PDP asks APC over hacking allegation

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is clutching on the straws for survival.

Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, said this on Friday while reacting to an allegation by the APC.

Yekini Nabena, deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling party, had said there is a plan by the opposition party to use Russians to hack thedata base of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

But Ologbondiyan wondered why the APC was making the allegation on behalf of INEC

“APC is on the throes of death and as such it is clutching on straws for survival,” he said.

“How come APC is making allegations on behalf of INEC if they are not in cahoots to rig the 2019 election. How come APC is alleging of a plot to hack into the commission’s system even when the body had dismissed the possibility of such an occurrence.

“The allegation is a product of an infantile thinker and no serious minded Nigerian will waste a second of his or her precious time on this.”
