The Presidential applicant of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, says Mr. Mohammed Sani Musa, the Managing Director of the organizations creating Permanent Voter’s Cards and the machines utilized in printing the cards is likewise the Niger-East senatorial competitor of the All Progressives Congress.
In an announcement marked by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shuaibu, the PDP applicant approached Nigerians and the universal network to observe the way that Musa is the MD of Act and Activate Technologies, the organizations given decreases by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The PDP hopeful noticed that Musa had even boasted about being the provider of PVCs on his LinkedIn profile.
He said an inquiry at the Corporate Affairs Commission demonstrated that Musa is the MD of Act Technologies which provided the machines utilized in printing PVCs while Activate Technologies, which is situated in indistinguishable compound from Act Technologies and has similar chiefs, does the real printing of the cards
Atiku noticed that both Act and Activate Technologies is sister organizations situated in the Maitama zone of Abuja.
The announcement read to some extent, “It is public knowledge that Sani Musa, popularly known as Sani 313 is a card-carrying member of the APC and a close associate of several stalwarts of the party, including President Muhammadu Buhari who apparently pushed his nomination.
“Shockingly, the APC senatorial candidate for Zone B of Niger State, Mr. Sani Musa, has a contract with INEC to supply key voting materials in an election he is participating in, which is a clear conflict of interest and raises questions of probity and oversight in the issuing of INEC contracts.”
He said examinations had demonstrated that the INEC contract which incorporated the ‘upgrade’ comprised of pre-programming the card perusers to acknowledge counterfeit copy PVCs (duplicates of certified PVCs) that the firm imprinted in Nigeria.
Atiku said these two exercises were attempted with the goal that the APC could help its vote count in its fortifications or power cast a ballot in Polling Units at PDP fortresses to be invalid and void by over-casting a ballot.
He said a worker of the firm was likewise gotten on camera at the Abuja Airport Domestic Departure Lounge on December 29, 2018 opening an authority INEC envelope and after that taking care of various vote shapes which he was verifying against his cell phone.
The PDP Presidential Candidate said while Alhaji Sani Musa has the directly to hold any open office regardless of his line of business, it is ethically ridiculous to permit a notable provider of touchy INEC materials to share in a decision in which the key materials to be utilized for the survey were provided by him.
The announcement included, “It is public knowledge that Sani Musa, popularly known as Sani 313 is a card carrying member of the APC and a close associate of several stalwarts of the party, including President Muhammadu Buhari who apparently pushed his nomination. But shockingly, the APC Senatorial candidate for Zone B of Niger State,Mr. Mohammed Musa, has a contract with INEC to supply key voting materials in an election he is participating in, which is a clear conflict of interest and raises questions of probity and oversight in the issuing of INEC contracts.”
Endeavors to talk with Musa to react to the charges demonstrated fruitless as he neither picked calls not reacted to an instant message.
A representative for Musa, Emma Makun, told our journalist that he didn’t know anything about the two organizations.
He said, “I don’t know anything about any companies. Why not approach the companies to find out if Musa is the MD.”
At the point when our reporter visited the two organizations situated in a similar compound in Maitama, a specialist, who wouldn’t recognize himself, said the twin organizations had shut and would just revive after races as printing of PVCs had ceased. He said the organizations had no spokespersons.
The National Commissioner for Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, Mr. Festus Okoye, neither reacted to calls nor an instant message. It was the equivalent for the Director for Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi; just as Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman.
