APC Will Regret Supporting The Card Reader – Smart Adeyemi

Is it really true that the PDP is afraid of this general election?

I think that cannot be true for a government that is in power to be afraid of elections. But I think the opponents must have something to say in order to get the attention of the electorates. But be that as it may, those are part of the propaganda and blackmail of the aggrieved former members of the PDP who constitute themselves into a political party now called the APC.

I hold the strong view that Nigerians are now more convinced, more than ever before of the fact that the PDP is actually ready for elections. If I may ask, where is the APC now? After the postponement, they’ve gone underground, they are confused, they are in disarray; they lack focus now. They have exhausted all their manipulations and propaganda to the point that they have nothing to say about the ruling party any longer.

On the other hand, the PDP is forging ahead more than ever before. Nigerians are starting to appreciate all the achievements recorded so far, the transformation agenda of this administration which cuts across virtually all the sectors and I hold the view that come the 28th of March, the PDP is going to win not just the presidential election but we are going to have majority members of the National Assembly.

This is going to be so because as I speak to you today, the opposition has nothing to offer. As a matter of fact, they are stuck already. They are off the radar.

So you think the APC cannot fight corruption?

The APC is not in a position to even fight corruption. In fact, if you are looking for corrupt people, you should go to APC. How can you give what you don’t have or how can you take away what you are living with?

If you tell me that PDP is bad party, that is your own perception, but I will tell you that APC is even worse than PDP.

If you want to give us the performance rating of President Jonathan compared to other civilian governments before him what would be the score?

I stand here and I stand to be quoted that I do not know of any civilian administration that you can compare his achievements in the area of infrastructural facilities, in the area of social amenities, in the area of expanding and galvanizing socio-economic activities than Goodluck Jonathan. Yes, I agree with you equally that there has not been any President that had the misfortune of fighting the worst war any administration will fight.

Goodluck Jonathan fought the worst war. In fact, Goodluck Jonathan should be crowned as a Field Marshall of Nigeria. If there is any Field Marshall that should be appreciated in Nigeria, it’s Goodluck Jonathan because he fought the worst war, that is fighting insurgency and suicide bombers.

Is the PDP afraid of Card Readers?

The card reader will work against the APC than the PDP. The card reader will be an advantage to the PDP because the PDP has not been involved in the manipulation of card readers. The PDP is not cloning PVCs; PDP has not been involved in the purchase of cards. PDP has not been involved in asking a particular tribe not to be given cards in some States.

It’s the APC that are doing that and they will be shocked that they will not be able to use those cards. It’s the APC that is acquiring cards through backdoors believing that they will use them. So, if the card reader will be used for the reason that Jega has told us, it is welcomed. The card reader will reveal a lot of fraudulent acts of the opposition. The PDP has not really bothered about doing anything under the table to win the election because there is just no reason for it.

It’s the opposition – those who are desperate in APC. The desperadoes they are the people who are involved. The APC has realized that the card reader, more than ever before will come to affect them. Now, they are coming to realize that. Has any of the security agents arrested officials of PDP for cloning cards? Have we forgotten so soon that in some States, trucks were arrested carrying PVC cards? They were States of APC. It’s not PDP State. We will see what will happen to them because they will be so ashamed of themselves.

They will be drenched in such manner that to come out will be a problem for them. (Ojo Esin APC ti fe ro)When people are making noise and when people come together, you ask for what purpose? If your coming together is not for good, you will fail. The coming together of APC, all those you see in APC, they came together out of grievances and selfish interests. As from 30th of March, they will start decamping back to PDP. They will come back home. These are people who are just out to champion their business cause. Let nobody deceive you.

Of all the politicians you see, less than 25 percent of them are committed to the wellbeing of the people. Many of them are in politics because they want to protect their business empire. Many of them are in politics because they have scores to settle. Many of them are in politics because they feel that is the way to save themselves from certain atrocities committed in times past.

Many of them are in politics because they assume that is the short cut to expanding their financial empire and consolidating. So, when you see people gather and they are shouting, their shouting is meant to safeguard them from years of accumulation of our common wealth. Some people have sat down on it. Let them come out with manipulations of propaganda.

How many PDP leadership are involved in media propaganda? How many PDP people own media houses in Nigeria? Those who have shares in powerful media organizations are APC members and they are using it to full advantage. But that will not win elections because Nigerian people will stand and vote and you will see what is going to happen on March 28th. APC will suffer unprecedented defeat. In fact, great will be the fall of APC on March 28.
