Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the card reader machines the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) intends to use to accredit voters during the March 28 and April 14 elections as a fraud capable of scuttling the elections.
The governor, who expressed doubt over the forthrightness of the INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega in handling the elections said; "Unless INEC has an agenda that is different from conduct of free, fair and credible elections, use of the card readers should be suspended for future elections so as to enable proper test running of the technology."Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose, who said he was not against the use of any technology to ensure credible elections, added that the flaws recorded during the last Saturday test run exercise were too fundamental to be ignored. He pointed our that Jega was not being truthful on INEC preparedness for the election, saying; "Jega told us before February 14 that INEC was ready.
He heaped the blame for postponement of the elections on security. "However, the same INEC that Jega said was ready to conduct elections on Febuary 14 was testing card readers on March 7, meaning that all the flaws that characterised the Saturday exercise would have been witnessed on February 14. Wouldn't that have been disastrous?"
The governor, who said no righr thinking person will want to experiment with major elections, added that; "INEC ought to have tested the card reader technology with at least, a bye-election before using it for the general elections." He said; "From the Saturday exercise, it can be assumed that it will take an average of one minute for a card to be read. Given that accreditation of voters will start at 9am and end at 12noon, the card reader will be able to read 180 voters cards in three hours. What will then happen in polling units with 500 voters or more?"
Speaking further, Governor Fayose said the machines failed to recognise Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in most of the states where the Saturday test run took place while in some, the machines' batteries lasted for less than three hours.
"For instance, in Ebonyi State, we were told that Card Readers didn't recognize the fingerprints of voters who registered for the 2011 general elections. Even the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr. Lawrence Azubuike, acknowledged that the authentication process by the Card Reader was very poor.
"In Taraba State, many voters complained that the Card Readers could not identify their fingerprints. "Most importantly, it has been discovered that the card readers can be pre-programmed to reject PVCs. The card readers can also be pre-loaded, even without using the right PVCs.
"Therefore, Jega and his INEC must have to further convince Nigerians on their real intention for trying to use a technology that is yet to be tested and adjudged foolproof for a major exercise like the president election that is capable or making or marring Nigeria."

Its a fraud, simple!
Jega oh! Jega. This elections will lead to serious problems. We can see the hand writting on the wall already.
nor be small oh
Well said and he spoke his mind out. I really don't knw if to agree or disagree wit him. All I hav to say is "Everytin works well for those dat believe in God".
You are very correct sir. Am in Ebonyi and my card is so authentic cos am a law abiding citizen. But it rejected my card . It was so startling to me. I was so happy that those that issues it to me weeks back were present when it rejected my card. Please this card reader must be suspended
this card reader wahala.. i love Nigerian Politricks
visit 9jahub.com
Jega is obviously partisan.
Enough oohhhhhh
Those that luv free and fair election should condem the card reader. Cos ur party my be affected on that day.
Biko who let Fayose out of d cage in d zoo???
This Fayose must be mad...if INEC failed,the fault is from the top because there's no proper monitoring from the presidency.if the card reader will take 1million days to work,we must use it.the so called Fayose is not qualify to be local government chairman let alone governor.omale jatijati
I dont wanna be in Jega's shoes right now.He's suddenly become a pawn in the chess game between APC and PDP.But we all know he's taking the fall for the biggest fish.Thesame fish that brought him in.Cant say much about the card reader until i hear from Jega himself*
Why is this dog still barking? He should have been leashed or be in police net by now ....only in naija! Now hes proposing another fraudulent way for pdp to win election. wtf is wrong with our government? Why the cry about card reader if they want a free and fair election ?
Take cheap cannabis, get high , and talk nonsense . Noise maker.

Only God knows what will be the outcome of this election. Am tired pls let it come and go so that life will continue
Mmmmmaaaaadddddd man!!!
U act so desperate, as if u already knw Jonathan is going 2 lose. It's dis desperation dt will bring about ur lose. If u don't say shit, ffk wld say, if nt ffk patience wld say, if nt her then it's asari. U guys r desperate n over zealous. Foolish pdp people.
Dolo. Sakarai.
This dude talks like an illiterate, the card readers are for accreditaion and not for voting. He obviously wants to rig so bad he comes out openly to condemn the card readers, what we should be hearing is that INEC should make the readers more efficient
Yeah it will mar election rigger like u, shameless man...
Vote no fight
Is dz man not tired of talking??? Must he be d news at all tyms!!! I hate dz man called Fayose like shit I swear...na only him waka cum
Why is Fayose so scared,he is scared his rigging secret will be blown out in the open if APC wins the presidential election. HAHAHAH, better dont give yourself high BP, ur the one talking abut someone else's health.

Hmmm, just bcos ur party got pvc from the ignorant Nigerians for 20k, now the card reader will b a waste of tym? Hmmmm.... continue
fayose pls face your state
Waooo! What an "eye opener". It's not completely bad to play the "devil's advocate" on some sensitive national issues. I'm beginning to fall in love wt Gove Fayoshe's radicalism in buttressing the truth from his own perspective. First,he was the "whistle blower" concerning Buhari's ill health and need for medical attention. At last Buhari confirmed that he also had some medical attention while in the UK. Now,he's giving us another eye opener wt regards to some hidden gimmicks from INEC's calculated deceit wt regards to d efficacy of the card readers. FAYOSE, D PEOPLE'S CHOICE, CARRY DE GO!!!
And the apc will start shouting that truly there is no hidden agenda in all this Jega and card reader thing. They/inec was ready and still after almost a month they are just texting the card reader and what did we get. Total failure by Jega and his cohorts if they are truly sincere, they should honourably resign that is what will be expected of any other authority. On the law court when a party raises eyebrows about the fairness/impartiality of a judge, the judge is expected to excuse him/herself from that case. I don't see why the standard has be lower in an election this important.

Otherwise, the president has to use his powers to force him/Jega out as he has shown his inability to hold this very election by his biases and lies which are glaring for all thinking people to see.
Go and sleep
For the first time you are talking sense. I agree with you in this case. It should have been tested with the bye elections first. Jega needs Process Experts. You can't be doing UAT with two weeks to election
This Gov Fayoshe is a wise man. I swear!
But sincerely,the card reader needs to be test run and the political parties should not accept the use of the card reader because it might be of advantage to any lucky party.Just saying
True talk. Isupport
We nw know d enemies of Nigeria.Some PDP members tried to use cloned cards yesterday and d card reader rejected dia cards and d police men left dem coz they were PDP members. Just for dt reason, i and my entire houshold av decided and resolved to vote for Buhari and Dakuku Peterside. Sai Buhari
Oju ole reee.... Oleeeeee. I guess dis is also ur personal opinion and not that of ur party.
I am so happy to hear you say this Mr Fayose...Means you now agree and accept that the so call election that made you governor of Ekiti is nothing but Fraud.
U want to use technology to fight corruption as said by gej but u dnt want to use technology to stop riggin. If u want to try it later y not now u dick head
this Fayose man has become a BIG desperado! hmmmm...he should take it easy so that if God do otherwise......his dissapointment will not be so great
Shot d 4uk up...all lib readers ar tired of u aprt 4rm d Admin=linda

Fayose keep telling them the truth. Them no de hear word. Them go soon call you mad man because they hate true word.
The idiocy of fayose is amazing to me
Thus man is just a restless noise maker,when he was campaigning he was quiet and humble,now he is just acting like an untamed he goat..

I think Fayose might be making sense here ooooo
Even if we dnt lyk fayose,he always speaks d truth, d card reader is a fraud,Jega has bin compromised by d APC and INEC is no longer independent! #JegaMustGo... GodBlessNigeria
Fayose has turned a soothsayer, he seems to know everything pertaining to this election, especially when it concerns APC.
This is just a sign thatEkiti state gov is an illiterate like people said. How could people embrace manual more than digital. Digital fraud can be easily traced....tired of all these rigid politicians...
Fayose is already scared dat the use of card reader will not favour is party.........other countries has been using card reader...wat stops Nigeria??? The card reader machine is been tested now....and its working well...
FAYOSE GO AND EAT AMALA IN UR BUKA AND SLEEP......Only if U can sleep and wake up after d election is over......NOISE MAKER
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
O gaa o. I keep asking what disadvantage will this card reader and the PVC impact PDP that won't impact other parties and what advantage will it confer on other parties to the exclusion of the PDP?
I'm so sad all these unintelligent ranting is going on in our political space.
Finding a way too postpone the election again mm anyhow gmb would win
This agbero talk too much Abeg
It's expected from some1 like Fayose....thief calling a thief thief hahaha
This boy again? Ayo, kini problem e gan paapaa? What exactly is your problem? If GEJ loses this election, you are in trouble oooo....think twice oooo. You too dey run your mouth, pls be quiet for a moment and stop acting like a school boy. There are more brilliant and intelligent Governors in the country and we dont hear them say any claptrap like you always do. Ekiti is known to be fountain of knowledge....it baffles me to see a man like you being the Governor of a great state that is endowed with vibrant and intelligent people. Well, na stomach infrastructure cause am sha.
I tink this is first time this man said something that makes sense to me
I tink this is first time this man said something that makes sense to me

I may not like Fayose but this is a completely true talk he has made here.
Abeg make we Nigerians think am well.
Seriously INEC have to respond to all dis issues expecially backup ba3 this issues are so important to be ignored
fear done begin catch am.shebi u get mouth
I have my doubts too. We should just hope that the other back up logistics are in proper shape, and mistakes rectified before the d-day. In my own opinion, I think INEC's planning, timing and run-up to the election leaves less to be desired. I agree with some of Fayose's submission.
Lol...Fayose go sleep jare u no get talk...is so obvious dat pdp can't cheat wit d card reader...#card reader must stay
Crook way they call persn crook smh
Can Ayodele Fayose just find a way to express his problem rather than jumping from pillar to post. His noise is becoming unbearing....Haba
This Fayose is a jackass.....
IN A REAL COUNTRY PEOPLE LIKE THIS FAYOSE WONT EVEN BE IN PUBLIC SERVICE,TALK LESS OF BEING A GOVERNOR OF A STATE TO MANAGE IN TRUST THE PEOPLE FUNDS AND RESOURCES HENCE THE QUESTION TO KEEP ASKING : How do we as a people reduce the levels of seemingly unquenchable greed in our system, the extreme level of mediocrity across public and private institutions and the ever increasing habit of spreading falsehood especially in government circles.
Personally I believe these factors listed above are the bane of our society for they include some of the key factors that have practically eroded our value systems acquired from (traditional/religious/civilized culture), and they are feeding the monsters of corruption, violent crimes, religious and even social distrust.
Fayose is bold! He is what APC needs.
Fayose ! Useless thug ! Nothing in ur life is straight...what a hopeless Govt...GEJ and the Federal Executive Council approved N6b to buy the card reader for INEC...only for them to come and reject it becos it will counter PDP riggin plans...what kind of clueless and incompetent govt is this ???????
Dis man is jst a noise maker. Tot dey knw abt dis card reader of a tin? Y r dey now creating scene out of it? I blv wt or wtout d use of card reader, wat wl b wl surely b
God is revealing to us the truth in style. I am beginning to lose trust in Jega. GEJ all the way.

Card reader or no card reader, all we want is a free & fair election.
Thank you sir, I believe every word there. Waiting for your next update
Ayo...Ayo...Ayo, you no dey tire? PDP said you are not speaking for them and yet, you keep talking and talking and you don't know when to stop. Pls act like a Governor nau....abeg Ayo, pls act like a civilised Governor. We have other Governors and we don't hear anything from them. Does it mean you were truly a car washer in the garage before you became a Governor? Ayo, people are complaining about you a lot, you are not making us proud as our Governor jare....we regret voting for you.
You are sick!
Mr idiot
What is wrong with this Man called Fayose he is only scared of Buhari winning because his case of election malpractice will be brought back to investigate if not what is wrong with the card reader if not for people like him and the PDP who always wont to win true the back door. May God save us from their hand (PDP)
FAYOSE IS REALLY VERY VERY AFRAID. CARD READER WAS NOT USED DURING EKITI RIGGED ELECTION NOW HE KNOWS ASIRI WA TU HE IS AFRAID. GO HOME AND CRY CARD READER IT WILL BE JOBLESS YEYE GOVERNOR
Animal in human skin/fowlyoursay
Its dawning on this thug they will loose this election, now the excuse is flying out. INEC should have done a test of the card readers before confirming election date, besides whats his problem with INEC chairman when its his Boss GEJ that appointed him. How come nothing is happening about the leaked tape, should he even be talking? when you look at the kind of people we have in power in Nigeria, you cant help but loose faith.
You and grammar fighting seriously.
Fayose too is also a fraud.
Forget about your hate for Fayose. Look deep into the subject above. Calls for serious thought and Concern.
Anytime I see this joker I feel bad for the state and people of Ekiti .. How did they end up in this mess.
This is not a governor, he's a joker .. Bloody foolish man
The PVC card reader test run was an unexpected disaster. It was complaints galore everywhere !
FAYOSE, as usual , has only been courageous to say what everybody can see but too timid to say !!
Amazing... it's really a major issue. God help nigeria. This fayose is just a confusion monger why is he a governor what time does he have to carry out his duties to the state he swore an oath to? God help us all.
Linda cotributed 2 d decay of dis present society must u publish every rubbish he spew u bloggers are makin him important well since u r eating 4rm d corrupt people u make dem as a focal point
Fayose my guy I have been waiting for another blab from you since and as usual you don't disappoint me. To say a man like me once took look up to someone like you always make me cry I remember d Fayose I once knew a vibrant young Governor one of the best Nigeria ever had then. Then I always watch your program on BCOS then never missing a single day till d impeachment saga started and dat was the end of a man a great man with a bright future I knew then I always pray in my mind dat you should be vindicated but it seem d trouble brought out d demon in you now when I see you I always feel pity for you a man I was saw as a lion dat stood against Obj now a puppet dat talk at anytime now I think Dats the price you have to pay to get power back but I think its not worth it. Now you now stand as an element of mockery, a tool that is used a toothless *** just ***king up and down. Well I pray you change if not for anything at least for someone like me dat once see you as a Messiah but if u won't I will keep.....................,,
Govenor Fayose is talking sense and people are condemning. Lets face facts please.
Wat a berk:(
Fayose no comment. NIGERIANS have moved on with the rest of the world Forward Ever and Backward Never.
Forward Ever and Backwards Never.
Forward Ever and Backwards Never.
Forward Ever and Backwards Never.
Fayose has always been right
I think he is making sense. Even mad people do make sense sometimes
Mr Man, you are humogous joke and everything about you is not only laughable but ridiculous. If anyone should attempt to discredit Prof Jega, it should not in any way be you. The same Inec that conducted the election that puts u in that seat you occupy and he is the same chairman that oversaw that elections. Now you question Jega's character and integrity? Young man, take several seats.
Worst than a jackas@muyiwa
Look at a so-called democratically elected governor openly campaigning for an election to be rigged !!! Fayose I have these words for you: You can fool some people all the time but you can't fool all the people all the time. Get set, your days are numbered ...
Your statement made a whole lot of sense sir, does inec have any hidden agenda? I don't pray so. They should be more than prepared for this coming election.
The goat is scared of going to jail
I have never seen or heard any sensible statement from this man called Ayo Fayose.......just thinking.....if this is how PDP leadership holders then it further makes our choice of Buhari much simpler. Stand up for change from mediocrity and hogwash talk....say no to GEJ and let's March in Buhari.
Fayose how do u think self?
Fayose how do u think self?
Nawaoh.
Though Fayose talks too much but there is real sense in wht he said......there is nothing beyond manipulation. ...and if the battery doesn't last and it takes up to a min to read Jst one card like he rightly said, d aim will probably be defeated ...I NEC was never prepared for d election and d postponement was Jst d right thn to do
I think they have mixed weed wt amala for this man. Something they have been using in other country for years is now giving u guys sleepless nights. Oga ooo. No more 16 is greater than 19....lol
You're just scared of the card reader fayose
Maybe pdp has tried to use it for fraud and failed
And you think apc has done it and succeeded
Get over yourself
Pdp has lost already
That's why you're always ranting
Card reader will be used. Amen
I learnt how to use the card reader during inec training for the elections
And it will be very hard to commit fraud on it
Or use it for personal gain because of the way is programmed
So if your brain is too blocked to understand the principle behind it
I will use mama peace words
You're brain dead
Fayose may just be mad!
You are the fraud. All your fake cards won't work. The test run was successful in Ekiti.
#smh -finally pdp is beginning to deny him but they always do so late.
Please, Buhari, take us back to the era where:1. One Dollar was less than one Naira. It is incredible today!2. Everything was on first come first serve basis.3. There was zero tolerance for corruption.4. Oil refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri & Kaduna were built & running at full capacity.5. Anybody with questionable wealth was afraid to display it in public. 6. There was Zero tolerance for indiscipline. Everything was in order7. Nigeria had no debt at all.8. Neglecting your children was a crime9. Littering the public place was a crime10. Twenty oil depots were built and functioning.11 Western world can't interfere into our nation.12. Chad invaded Nigeria, we sent them packing but did not harness their Land13. Our economy was NOT running on generator14. We can sleep with our eyes closed because we were secured.15. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia need not to set example on how to deal with drug pushers. 16. The Maitaseine Islamic Sect insurgency in the North was crushed on record time. 17. We want those days when Buhari was a military Governor but did not amass illegal wealth. 18. We want those days when Buhari was a Minister of Petroleum but did not hire a private jet for N10 billion. 19. We want those days when Buhari was a Head of State but did not loot the Treasury. 20. We want those days when Buhari was Head of PTF but did not steal the Fund even in the days of Abacha when stealing was the order of the day.
Supu !!!!
O na gi mulu gi
Fayose you talk 2much jare. Wetin na only be PDP?
Nottin in dis country wrks well.
You dont want card reader so you can rigg election again abi. bastard
True talk Gov. Fayose
Why is it that you the only one always ranting! Unnecessary ones at that! It is well oo. Talk less sir. James 1:26. @Bishop_Dammy
Fayose, is just scared. But nuttin will stop his second impeachment. I wonder why a state like ekiti can reduce so low. The man is nuttin but a thief.
Imagine dis Thief who is scared of nothing but another impeachment. Sometime I wonder who is Jonathan because of the calibers of people that he associate with. No wonder okah described him as same as Asari - that they re the same that Asari is even better
Why on earth dis kind of a person becomes a governor of a state?
Pls fayose we are tired of reading & hearing the nonsense you speak in almost a daily basis... Ain't there work left to be done in ekiti state??? You are just too jobless to be a governor , well you keep showing the kind of abgeru/tout you are daily... Mtcheeeeew
He knows the card reader won't allow pdp to rig...Nigeria n's say no to these useless tot. .We want card reader
Why mention PDP controlled states as proof, God will judge this Fayose and his cohor. playing games with d lives of poor Nigerians.
Fayose their is no short cut to heaven. As NIGERIANS we must do the right thing For this country to move forward.
Dis Guy is just an Animal, must he disgrace himself everytime???? His problem is with anybody Dats not PDP, na by force?
Fayose really need to take a chill pill and concentrate on his state affairs.
fayose is a disgrace to Ekiti.person wey curse am don die we 4go help u beg am but sowiee it late. Take fate.
Dear Fayose
Why can't you tell Nigerians the whole truth that you are computer illiterate?
I think he's right. The card readers got to properly tested to avoid problems on election days.
Fayose is saying exactly what happened so calling him jackass is baseless
Useless man. Election rigger oshi
PDP ! Can you tell Nigeria n's and whole world why you are scared of the card reader ????
The easy line for APC apologists and those bent on rigging the forthcoming elections is to call anyone raising concerns over the PVCs as PDP member or as being afraid to lose the election or as wanting to rig the election. This response, common as it now is, is such a shallow response, so crass and arrant mediocrity.
Here is the story.
42% duly registered voters not authenticated by card readers in Kano State while 38% was not passed in Niger State during the test run of the card readers and a honest person says this should be glossed over?
In Ebonyi State, in a particular polling unit, Nkaliki Echara Primary School, only 6 out of 25 registered voters who saw their names and profiles on the voters register were successfully authenticated. This translates to 24% success rate and 76% failure rate. In the same Ebonyi State, it took 20 minutes to authenticate one single voter. How long will it take to authenticate 500 voters? 1000 minutes meaning it will take about 16.67 hours (one hour for 3 voters) to authenticate 500 voters! What does that show, please? How much more time would be left for voting? In another polling unit, Edukwu Inyimagu Hall of the same Ebonyi State, out of a whopping 70 registered voters whose names were on the register of voters, only a miserly 3 were successfully authenticated! What happened to the balance 67? Only INEC and God can explain. This is simply translates to 96% failure rate!
In Nassarawa State, the story is the same. In a particular polling unit, out of 10 registered voters, only 4 were authenticated, 60% failure rate, while each voter took 15 minutes for the card reader to capture the finger print of just one voter.
In other examples, the card reader was hanging for minutes before re-functioning.
The failure rate should be of more concern to us than the success rate. So, the fact that slight success was recorded in States like Lagos should not be enough to gloss over the monumental problems inherent in the process, which problems are clearly pointing to the disenfranchisement of majority of voters.
Bottom line is that INEC should do a rethink on the use of the card readers. This is buttressed by the fact that, if by the time of voting, there are still people left who have not collected their PVCs, INEC may do well to consider combining the use of both the PVCs and TVCs.
As I write, I have not yet picked my own PVC.

In Nassarawa State, the story is the same. In a particular polling unit, out of 10 registered voters, only 4 were authenticated, 60% failure rate, while each voter took 15 minutes for the card reader to capture the finger print of just one voter.
In other examples, the card reader was hanging for minutes before re-functioning.
The failure rate should be of more concern to us than the success rate. So, the fact that slight success was recorded in States like Lagos should not be enough to gloss over the monumental problems inherent in the process, which problems are clearly pointing to the disenfranchisement of majority of voters.
Bottom line is that INEC should do a rethink on the use of the card readers. This is buttressed by the fact that, if by the time of voting, there are still people left who have not collected their PVCs, INEC may do well to consider combining the use of both the PVCs and TVCs.
As I write, I have not yet picked my own PVC.

Fayose stole Ekiti State money, was impeached for the stealing, stayed bitter at OBJ for not covering up his crime as Jonathan would have.
Fayose has stolen again, this time, a whole election. Scared he would be impeached again for theft and they sure are going to have to impeach him again because he cannot stop stealing.
Buhari will not cover up for the criminal. The only person that will keep this criminal in place is their grand patron. This is why he fights. Fayose fights for the use of the office of Governor for looting purposes, nothing else.
Fayose is a distinguished member of "The Enemies of Progress Club"
This is what "they" fight for.

It's sad for all the citizens of Ekiti to have this mental dwarf as a Governor . Ekitians are known to be highly intellectual , how can a sleazy garage tout become a governor in a state like Ekiti ?.
This barking UK thug and street boy should just shut is mouth and go rest his dead brain in gallow....
