PDP relies on Dubai connection, hackers for 2023 elections, Says Ex-APC spokesman

A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Yekini Nabena, on Wednesday vowed that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party cannot win the 2023 election unless it deploys hackers to manipulate the servers of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

This is even as the Bayelsa-born politician accused the presidential flagbearer of banking on his Dubai connections and ‘Hushpuppi’ strategies ahead of the February 25 elections.

Nabena, who made the statement during a briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, told newsmen that the ruling party does not see the opposition party as a threat.

“PDP is nothing to talk about as far as the 2023 general election is concerned, although we are watching them keenly based on their past records because we already know their plans and what they are banking on are their Dubai connections and Hushpuppi strategies,” he said.

The APC chieftain also urged the INEC to step up its game and make adequate protection for its server, alleging that the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party only banking on hackers to manipulate INEC server and change results in 2023.
