‘No serious minded Nigerian will waste a second of their precious time’ on APC’s hacking claim– PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is engaging in “infantile” behaviour over its hacking allegation.

Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, said this on Friday while reacting to the allegation by the APC.

Yekini Nabena, deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling party, had said the opposition party planned to use Russians to hack the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

But Ologbondiyan dismissed the allegation.

“APC is on the throes of death and as such it is clutching on straws for survival,” he said.

“How come APC is making allegations on behalf of INEC if they are not in cahoots to rig the 2019 election. How come APC is alleging of a plot to hack into the commission’s system even when the body had dismissed the possibility of such an occurrence.

“The allegation is a product of an infantile thinker and no serious minded Nigerian will waste a second of his or her precious time on this.”
