The Conference of Nigerian Political
Parties (CNPP), has expressed its support for the use of Card Reader for
accreditation of voters in the 2015 general elections.
This is contained in a statement
signed Mr Osita Okechukwu, CNPP National Publicity Secretary and made available
to newmen on Sunday in Abuja.
The statement noted that the mock
test of the Card Reader conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), had further emboldened and reinforced its resolve to adopt the device.
It however urged INEC to take note
of the `few lapses’ observed during the test and improve on the device to
engender free, fair and transparent elections.
“We are making this declaration
because in the absence of genuine reason, we adopt a device which has been used
to conduct free, fair and transparent elections in many countries.’’
The statement said that CNPP
concurred with valid evidence that the use of the Card Reader for accreditation
of voters would minimise if not eradicate snatching of ballot box.
It added that the device would also
minimise thumb printing of ballot papers and snatching of result sheets.
“Accordingly, we take exception to
political parties that are wittingly or unwittingly against the deployment of
Magnetic Card Reader,’’ the statement said
