The Zikist-Buharist-Movement (ZBM), South East, has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lost the 2019 presidential election owing to the use of card readers.
This was contained in a statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the group’s Secretary, Barr. Godwin Onwusi.
He spoke while reacting to a statement credited to the Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Mr Peter Obi, that “the fraud which characterised this year’s election has greatly undermined the country’s democracy, its future and has significantly damaged the ongoing fight against all vices and tainted the integrity of those responsible.”
Faulting Obi, the ZBM said “the fraud and violence are not substantial enough to vitiate the general election. We understand where His Excellency, Peter Obi is coming from, an era when as Governor in 2011, the then President Goodluck Jonathan got millions of votes in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu states. That era is gone, thanks to the ubiquitous Card Reader, which makes rigging at collation center cumbersome.”
While insisting that Buhari was a respecter of the rule of law going by his stand on the upcoming supplementary elections, Onwusi said, “May we ask Peter Obi, what their pillar of support, ex-president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo could have done if his main strongholds – Kano and Bauchi are threatened and hanging on the cliff-hanger of inconclusive elections?”
