Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, says technology has been able to prevent rigging such that no political party can win an election by a wide margin as was the case in the past.

Yakubu said this on the ‘Osasu Show’ which was posted on the show’s YouTube channel.

He said the Permanent Voter Cards and the smart card readers had been able to tackle rigging, hence the reason for the tightly contested elections in some off-season elections like the Ekiti and Osun governorship polls last year.

The INEC boss said, “Between 2015 and November 2018, we conducted elections into 195 constituencies, the largest number of off-season elections.

“The turnout varied from a little over 50 per cent in Katsina to as low as 2.9 per cent in Ifako/Ijaye in Lagos and 3.4 per cent in Eti Osa state constituency in Lagos.

“I think the thing to say about turnout is that because elections in Nigeria have progressively and incrementally improved, there is no possibility now that you will have the kind of margins that we used to experience in our elections before the introduction of technology — basically the PVC and the smart card reader.

“The elections in terms of outcome and turnout of votes are becoming more international. You can see the outcomes of the elections are becoming more and more competitive and closer to the kind of results we see even in advanced democracies.” Yakubu said the Commission was ready for the elections, which begin in less than four weeks’ time.

why you are all here,debating,insulting yourselves, doing likes and shares, online polls, and all that, you do not make up to 3% of the actual voters, you are only the few enlightened ones who genuinely care about the well being of your nation, but from my study,I am sorry to inform you that the largest chunk of the voters are out there,jobless,uneducated, unenlightened, no access to information, they re not aware buhari slumped or suffers dementia, they do not even understand they do not care, they can't read or comprehend, then d agberos, d street urchins, election period is their season, of cheap money,oppression,a form of relevance, so the politicians who have the cash and means buys them over, this re the people that determines who wins in my country, a tragic irony!I voted buhari in 2015,but all information and indications available to me, I won't vote him again, neither am I a fan of atiku either, though presently atiku is a better fit than buhari,but I can never trust d PDP and their precedents, so I vote a sowore or ezekwesili, even if they don't win, my conscience is satisfied
I totally understand your decision. But sometimes it is better to be more logical than conscientious. I may be wrong though.
