Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has challenged the Department of State Services (DSS) to show Nigerians the copies of the cards it claimed that APC was cloning in its Data Office in Lagos.
A statement by Joe Igbokwe, National Publicity Secretary, described as “laughable”, explanation of the DSS spokesperson that the centre was being used to clone permanent voters’ card.
It said the claim was not only cheap but confirmed the hatchet role the DSS had assumed on PDP’s dirty ways to retain power at all costs, even with Nigerians clearly fed up with its misrule.
The statement further reads: “We believe that such allegation must be followed up with hard facts and which hard facts could be more convincing than the DSS presenting to Nigerians copies of the cloned cards, directly linked to the APC data.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the APC Data Centre is a legitimate operation by a legitimate Nigerian political party responsible for the digitalization of the membership of the APC and had carried out its lawful operations in adherence to the laws of the country.
“That the DSS has become a purveyor to the lies and dirty intrigues of the PDP cannot change this fact and we see what happens as far more serious than the Watergate Scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in the United States.
‘We are really baffled at how critical security agencies of the state have been muddled and clearly diverted to partisan influences. It is a monumental shame that the DSS has become such a rampaging attack dog for the PDP when it should be working to enhance the security of the nation.
“It is baffling how President Jonathan and the PDP have turned a critical security outfit into the raging attack dogs of the PDP. Is it any wonder that they have left Nigerians to their fate as insecurity threatens to overrun the entire country while doing the dirty missions of the PDP?
“We expect the DSS to immediately display the cloned cards it alleged the APC was manufacturing in its Data Centre and we use this medium to tell Nigerians that the APC will neither flag nor be intimidated in its resolve and desire to end PDP’s reign of corruption, ineptitude, division, impunity and lawlessness”.
