First, let me congratulate the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmud Yakubu, all his staff and the Members of the National Assembly Committees on INEC for re-enkindling our hope in the building of our Democracy. The passage of the Bill to enable INEC transmit election results electronically both the House and the Senate is worthy of celebration. It seems a simple and straight forward activity.
Faced with moral probity in our struggle for power in Nigeria, we have always said it is better to choose a lesser evil. However, with time, these lesser evils grew with practice and refinement until they became embedded in the fabric of our collective lives. With time, we saw yesterday’s thugs, ballot box stuffers and snatchers, vote pilferers, all mutate into respectability.
This development does not mean that the bad days are over. If anything, it means that the forces of darkness will fight back and seek to subvert this new law. The criminals and their cronies will get to work and, as we have seen with the Internet, the fraudsters are often ahead of the game. INEC has to scale up its technological innovation and create a firewall to protect these gains.
