Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has described as laughable the plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to register 100 million Nigerians in her ongoing membership revalidation, accusing the party of plotting to hack into Nigerians’ Bank Verification Number (BVN) to boost membership.
Anyanwu, a Chieftain of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, wondered how a party that has brought poverty and sorrow to Nigerians since her assumption of office could expect the same people groaning in pains to embrace her, adding that the people were wise enough to know that such dubious act was targeted at destroying their future the more.
He regretted how APC used deceit to cease power in 2015, adding that her latest macabre dance and political rhetorics to register 100 million Nigerians into her fold was a game plan to rig the 2023 elections in order to afflict the country with another pandemic
In a release issued by his media adviser, Comrade Ikenna Onuoha and made available to newsmen, Senator Anyanwu further called on Traditional Rulers in Imo state and Nigeria at large to remain watchful and refuse to hid to APC’s request to submit list of civil servants from their communities, pointing out that such plot was targeted at hijacking their Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) to forcefully register them.
“APC Governors have directed Traditional Rulers and community leaders to compile names of their people and submit same to the party’s Secretariat across the country. This is in a bid to boost their party’s membership drive through hook and crook.”
“Nigerians should not listen to them, and their deceitful antics to rob them of their peace and tranquility. It is on the record that APC has not won any election since 2015, but still struggling to be relevant having seen that Nigerians are no longer taking her serious. It is laughable for the party and her leaders to dream of winning future elections by fraudulently hacking into their BVN to boost membership.”
“APC has deceived us for too long, and Nigerians should reject any entreaties from her leaders to supply their names, voters’ card or other relevant information. All these antics were meant to take over their BVN in view of 2023 elections.” He averred.
