Some Civil Society activists made the charge while addressing journalists, calling for a post-election news conference in Abuja, having observed the advantages and challenges posed by the card reader machines during the presidential elections.
The group commended INEC for its transparency and President Goodluck Jonathan for his statesmanship after the presidential results were announced, but insisted that the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and the card reader machines need to be implemented more effectively to ensure credible state level elections on April 11.
The activists also urged INEC to probe reports of irregularities in some states to prevent a re-occurrence of the 2011 violence.
