Ibrahim Babangida Back INEC card reader,denied involvement in ING plot

         

The former president Ibrahim Babangida released a statement which show support for the use of  INEC card reader in the forthcoming elections,this is contrary to what the PDP stand for and the news flying around of his hidden activities.
In a statement released on Wednesday through his Media office, says the card reader is  a smart innovation that is worth trying in this digital age where almost everything is driven by technology.he praise INEC for it attempt to bridge the gap in technology in our electoral system.


In his statement he said:

“We must appreciate the creativity and innovation of the card reader which INEC has introduced to make for better election credibility and transparency.

“In a digital world where almost everything is driven by technology, the offer of the card reader is a welcome development. We may not get to the fullest merit of this, but it is a good way to start. This is one way to bridge the technological gap between those developed and under-developed nations of the world.Let us repose confidence in the system in the interest of the unity of our great country.”

 “Following different reports and analyses in the print and on-line media, it has become expedient in the life of our political history to make certain clarifications to avoid unwarranted cynicisms usually promoted by naysayers and political apologists to score cheap political mileage. One would have ignored this lazily scripted and well orchestrated political permutation as the usual run-of-the-mill chit-chat and ridiculous permutation that is often on sale in our political lexicon, but for record purposes, this statement becomes instructively appropriate.

“To state the obvious, let it be on record that I am not in any way connected with alleged “plans” to encourage, promote, orchestrate or moot, the idea of an interim government or whatever “contraption” so called. I did state categorically in 2011 that I was quitting partisan politics and wouldn’t want to be ordered around in any way or form as seeking public office in whatever guise. I took that decision when I attained the age of 70 and I stand by that decision till date.’’
