The outspoken senator representing Bayelsa East, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, has taken to his Twitter page to claim that the All Progressives Congress (APC) plans to rig the 2019 presidential election against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), candidate, Atiku Abuakar using an electronic voting machine.
In a tweet posted on social media on Thursday, the lawmaker who shared a video of the machine allegedly being test-run in Kaduna state, said the machine can allow for multiple voting with just an Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s password.
In the video, a man is seen using just one key-card to unlock the machine while several others queued to vote. With the key card, it is believed that multiple voting can be done.
The common sense senator however called on the authorities to investigate the planned use of the machine for elections in 2019.
He wrote, “Information reaching us is that this device, which was first used in Kaduna, may be used in rigging the 2019 election against @atiku. It is alleged that with this machine, you can vote multiple times with an @inecnigeria password. I call on the authorities to investigate this.”
