Atiku claimed the APC was in possession of a telephone-like device that will allow the party fast-track election in places where they are expected to win while slowing down the process in region the party may lose.
He said APC operatives have been trained in China and have returned to the country ahead of the election.
He said: "We have just discovered that the APC have hired many of their operatives and have taken them to China to be trained, and they have been so trained, and they are back, and they are equipped with devices that are meant to slow or fasten our card readers," Atiku said.
"So, if you are in the South-South, South-East and North-Central, you are likely to get your card readers to be slowed by those APC operatives. We have seen the machines; we have interviwed some of those who have gone on this training, and we have passed that information to the campaign council to pass to you.
"But if you are from the North-West, North-East or Sout-West, the tendency is that they will use these machines to fast-track the readings of your card readers, so that many of their supporters can vote while disenfranchising the other three zones. I thought you should know that we have supplied the information to the campaign council, and you will even see the copy of the machine which each and everyone of those operatives is to hold. It is like a telephone but that is its job. I felt I should let you know, and you should be guided accordingly."
