POLITICS TODAY: Still On The Furore Over Electronic Transfer Of Election Results

Following the confusion that erupted during plenary when there was disagreement earlier on the move to remove the recommendation of the committee, the Senate minority leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, PDP, Abia South raised a point of Order for division so that Nigerians would know who voted against the electronic transmission of results.

In the House of Representatives the clause which provides that INEC shall determine the mode of voting/transmission of election results was left intact after attempts made by some members between Thursday and Friday to amend it failed. Speaking exclusively with LEADERSHIP in Abuja, INEC’s national commissioner for information and voter education, Festus Okoye, said the commission had invited 49 companies for a Request for Information demonstration and that it was yet to shortlist any company for the purposes of supplying any of the machines.

The commission, however, dispelled insinuations about its ability to transmit election results electronically in 2023. “So, we have made our own position very clear, that we have the capacity and we have the will to deepen the use of technology in the electoral process.”“Our powers are given by the constitution and the law, and we will continue to remain within the ambit and confines of the power granted to the commission by the constitution and the law,” he stressed.

Secondus also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to save democracy in Nigeria by not signing the bill into law.

two foolani slaves, these two can only do what the caliphate wants and nothing more .
