The Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Orji Kalu, says Nigeria requires 95 per cent of national network coverage to enable electronic transmission of election

Kalu said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja.

Recall that 52 senators on July 15 voted against electronic transmission of results in the forthcoming general election while 28 voted for and 28 absentees. The senators insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission should be compelled to seek clearance from Nigeria Communications Commission while the National Assembly would have to approve the verdict of NCC.“I have never been against transmission of results. I only said we don’t have adequate coverage where we live, this is the issue.

”I believe in electronic transmission, but I want to quickly urge the NCC to deploy their technology to ensure wider coverage; I believe in that process because it is transparent. ”I don’t want to listen to officials who want to buy equipment and make commissions, I am telling myself the truth, if we even have a coverage of 95 per cent it will be okay, but we have below 50 per cent in the entire country.”It wasn’t a party decision to vote against e transmission and not a clique decision, it was out of my conscience.
