Smart Card ReaderThe Leaders of the Youth Wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have warned that they will resist any attempt to stop the use of card readers.

The group at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, the nation’s capital, said the card readers will help sanitise, Nigeria’s electoral process and any effort to stop the use for the 2015 general elections is a clear attempt to rig the polls.

The group alleged that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is the main party that is opposing the use of the card readers.

The Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, had clarified the party’s position on the use of card readers during the forthcoming general elections.

He said the PDP is not against the use of the electronic device, provided they are tested and trusted before the election date.

He also maintained that the party’s confidence for victory in the forthcoming elections does not depend on the use of the card readers, expressing that it depends on the party structures across the country which, according to him, the opposition lacks.
