The Senate spokesperson, Ajibola Basiru , has said it was not public outcry that changed the mind of some senators on electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Amendment Bill, but the discovery of a section that addressed the concerns of the senators.Mr Basiru was one of the 52 senators that voted in support of the clause that sought to subject INEC to the dictates of the Nigerians Communications Commission and the National Assembly for the transmission of election results.
While speaking on “Politics Today,” a political programme on ChannelsTV on Friday, Mr Basiru said the senators did not change their minds because of the public outrage by an ‘autocratic minority” but because of the proviso in section 63. “We can also recognise our position, we can always amend our position, not because of shouting minority, or individuals who are the elites. We make decisions based on the people that elected us.
“There is now trail to ensure that results are transmitted, there are paper trails,” Mr Basiru stated. Mr Festus Okoye, INEC’s Commissioner for information and voter education, who appeared alongside Mr Ajibola on the programme, said the commission is waiting for the version that will be transmitted to the president for assent.He added that the commission was involved in the legislative process of producing the bill.
