As the presidential elections edge closer, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) has been alleged of hiring Russian hackers to compromise the polls.

The Coalition for Nigeria (CN) made the allegation in a press statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
Mr Dipo Samuel, Secretary General of the group signed the statement.
The statement read:
“When the then PDP aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, hired the United States firm and lobbyist, Brian Ballard to work for his emergence, we expressed concerns as to why the same man that helped US President Donald Trump to engage Russians in meddling with US elections has been brought into Nigeria. It is now glaring that Brain Ballard is not here to consult and deliver transparent strategy. Ballard was engaged purely to secure the services of Russian hackers to meddle in the electoral process, hack INEC, rig the elections in favour of the PDP and ply citizens with dangerous propaganda.

“As part of Ballard’s strategies being implemented, we further gathered that certain internal changes have been made at INEC to strategically position certain officials in posts that will enable them compromise that organization’s cyber security. These officials are known to be PDP sympathizers. Their brief is to make sure that the security upgrades that will ward off attempts to hack the Commission’s servers are not implemented. The plan is for them to feign istrative lapses and inefficiency that will ensure such patches are not addressed.

“We understand that Ballard’s contract is for a period of one year when the elections were a mere months away at the time he was engaged. The reason is that he is meant to stay on to coordinate a hate campaign against the government after the PDP has lost the election. This is really worrisome because such damaging campaign played a critical role in depressing Nigeria’s economy by discouraging investors’ interest in Nigeria. The PDP is again geared to repeat the same attack on the viability of the country.

“Coalition for Nigeria is therefore drawing the world’s attention to the rat infested firewood that the PDP with its Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has brought home by way of commissioning Russian agents to collapse democracy in Nigeria. We believe the whole world should be worried and seriously so:

“When the possibility of Russia’s meddling in the US Elections was first raised it was dismissed as mere suspicion by many while others placed such allegation in the realm of fiction. The picture is clearer today and there has been conclusive proofs that Russia did meddle in the process to make Donald Trump win to emerge president. What is still unfolding is the extent of damage done to the US electoral and political process as the fallouts from the interference still reverberate in that country. It has produced outcomes that are directly threatening confidence in the process while questions are seriously being asked about how to get out of the bind the incident has plunged the country into.

“ INEC must immediately take steps to guarantee the integrity of its servers and protect them from intrusions and cyber-attacks. The electoral body must also vet afresh all those that occupy sensitive positions and senior officials with decision making capacity. Once it has done the needful, INEC must then brief Nigerians to reassure citizens that it will not allow Russia repeat the stunt it pulled in the United States here in Nigeria.
“The federal government must immediately step up diplomatic efforts to get assurances from Russia that it will not, as a nation, interfere in the conduct of Nigeria’s elections while also warning its nationals against taking briefs that could jeopardize relations with Nigeria. Government must also work with other countries to put the pressure on Russia.

“The Nigerian Immigration Service in conjunction with the Department of State Service (DSS) should intensify the screening of aliens arriving the country to ensure that free age is not given to potential hackers to come and do damage here. The screening should take into aliens that might have already set up in the country before this discovery was made and those from countries that are proxies from Russia.
“The PDP should call off its brief to sabotage the elections and apologise to Nigerians. Where the party continues to work on rigging the elections, INEC should wake up to its responsibility and invoke the necessary clauses in the Electoral Act and INEC Act.

“We urge Nigerians to unite across party lines and condemn this evil plot. They should tell PDP and Atiku in clear that they have crossed the line in the matter of hiring foreigners to destroy Nigeria. It beats logic that a party can be desperate enough about winning elections that it is prepared to govern a graveyard nation.”

Atiku can do anything possible to rule this country
He proved that by prostituting himself between various political parties(he has no dignity)
He and his gang of looters are eager to empty the Nigerian treasury and we'll collectively protect this country from their evil intentions

#Say no to pdp¡gs

Lie Mohammed and his laptop crew will soon run out of lies and propaganda


Atiku has come to stay and he's our next President

Vladimir Putin helped Trump win. I heard he has vowed to Atiku since the United States is hostile to him by denying him visa

One begins to wonder why they are desperately and hurriedly calling for the amendment of the same electoral law they had used while in office. After perfecting the rigging plan, they now want buhari to accept the electoral act reaaranged to suit that plan. Ko le work, buhari is not that kind of balless coward you can box into one corner.
Pdpigz should test their popularity among Nigerians rather than this failed staccato attempts.

APC

When Nigerians hear the slogan "Let's get Nigeria working again", they get carried away.

To Atiku and other PDP stalwarts, "getting Nigeria working again" simply means having access to free money to fund their interests.

The other day, the VC of Atiku's university in a leaked memo lamented that Atiku being out of Government has affected the funding of the university negatively. Inspite of being the Senate President, Saraki was recently caught on tape lamenting to his ers about Buhari not allowing him to free money while assuring them that money will flow once again as soon as Atiku takes over.

Obviously, the last 3 years must have been a hell of period for people like these. We sympathize with them but they can't have the pie back.
No, not anymore.

Apart from goat which other animal can fly?

Why apc and their ers mumu like this. Who told them that is electronic or online voting?.... I weep for blacks.

Anything that can be done to send the lifeless one to his village is allowed.

He is just starting, let him go to the end of the earth, we are waiting

We don't need a president abeg. Let that sit be empty till i'm ready to be president.

Funny Apc

They are probably refering to Saraki's trip to Russia during world cup.

Heheheh...APC go and hire ur own ooo...as for me I have made up my mind

APC is officially a mad party... ed under the 'Association of Mental and Psychiatric Patients Parties' (AMPPP)


From now on, every BMC should identify themselves with their 'Patient Identification Number' (PIN)

Story story

He will end In shame

I don't think this is possible cos we do the physical voting here not the online one. Anyways Sai Baba till 2023

No wonder they want electoral reform so that it will favour them.

Confused liars!

How they will is beyond me but anything to kick that old haggard daura man back to his cows is a welcomed idea.

Obama sent his campaign manager David Axelrod to reorganise APC campaign in 2015, the western media carried out a campaign of calumny with Boko Haram and Chibok girls, Obama then did a 'viral' video asking Nigerians to vote for a new chapter, but karma dealth with Obama as his candidate Hillary Clinton lost and Trump won.

If Vlad Putin can help us do what he did to Obama in America to Buhari Nigerians will be grateful, he should send his campaign manager to Atiku, do a video asking Nigerians to reject Buharis next level
