PDP Plots To Postpone Elections With DSS Report--APC

The recent invasion of the Data Centre of the All Progressive Congress by the Department of State Security (DSS) has been described as a plot by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to push forward the fast approaching general elections.

The party made this assertion when it addressed pressmen at the APC Data Centre, Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday.

National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed described the summary report released by the DSS as an embarrassment to all intelligence-gathering organizations around the world.
Recall that the DSS had released a summary of the findings following a raid on the party's Data Centre at Number 10, Ajibola Street, Ikeja, on Nov. 22 2014.
The DSS, in its report, had alleged that the APC had an 'articulated plan to inflate the party's membership data as well as hack into INEC's voter registration database through the creation of party membership forms and cards to match INEC's voters register across the country'
The party's spokesperson noted that "orr immediate response, which was issued on the same day and which got a big play, was to dismiss the findings as hogwash, a great disservice to Nigeria and an embarrassment to all intelligence-gathering organizations around the world. Our stand on the 'findings has not changed."
According to him, the DSS report is bunkum, garbage, and is not worth the paper on which it is written.
He, however, said that "we will like to tell all Nigerians that the crap called 'findings' is part of the ongoing efforts by the Jonathan Administration to postpone next month's general elections. Having seen the handwriting on the wall vis-a-vis the growing rejection of the PDP by Nigerians, the Jonathan Administration has gone into a panic mode, while embarking on a plan to postpone the elections.
"Apparently, the thinking at the DSS, which is working in cahoots with the PDP, is that its report that the APC plans to hack into the voters' registration Data Base of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will raise doubts about the integrity of the voter's register to be used for the forthcoming polls, and subsequently force a postponement of the elections since the existing register cannot be used for the polls.
He added that "unfortunately for DSS and the PDP, this thinking was based on a wrong premise, as we will show shortly, and it has backfired.
