The Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Jelili Adesiyan yesterday in
Osogbo during a PDP campaign rally has said
there was nothing wrong in the introduction of technology into the electoral
process in the country but stressed that it must be well intentioned and not
aimed at giving some candidates undue advantage over others.
“It is good to have card readers for elections provided it
is well intentioned. During the last year governorship election in Osun State,
they cloned PVC from Lagos and used them here. But with the card reader such
will be impossible,” he said.
The United States government has also said they are solidly
behind the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to make use of Card
Readers in the March 28 and April 11 elections. This was made known today in a statement issued by the US Embassy in Nigeria.
