The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has insisted it has the capacity to transmit election results electronically from remote areas across Nigeria.

DAILY POST recalls on Thursday that the House of Representatives was thrown into confusion as members debated section 52(2) of the electoral amendment act bill, which deals with electronic transmission.

The PDP representatives walked out of a session on Friday after Ahmed Wase, the presiding officer and Deputy Speaker, claimed that section 52(2) had been carried.

But Adeleke Adewolu, an Executive Commissioner at the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, told lawmakers at the House of Representatives on Friday that only 50 per cent of Nigeria has the 3G coverage required for transmission.

However, speaking on Channels Television breakfast show on Saturday, Mr Festus Okoye, INEC’s National Chairman and Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, said the Commission’s position was clear.

Okoye said, “We have uploaded results from very remote areas, even from areas where you have to use human carriers to access.

“So, we’ve made our own position very clear, that we have the capacity and we’ve the will to deepen the use of technology in the electoral process.

“But our powers are given by the constitution and the law, and we’ll continue to remain within the ambit and confines of the power granted to the commission by the

constitution and the law.”

Transparency is far from it in Nigeria

Transparency is far from it in Nigeria

You are Lalasticlala's right!

Let us use crowwee to transmit it , I think it will be better.

The politicians are scared about man in the middle attacks during results transmission. A serving Senator said a former ruling party has Yahoo Yahoo boys who can do the dirty work.

If INEC said they have the capacity, I believe with the use of encryption and possible Blockchain technology, they can preserve election results whether static or in flight.

NB: We can't forget that the 2016 Elections in the US was hacked.

Dem no go hear word, na wetin dem wan do dey their mind.

Dead country

.

Jagbajantis transmission

That last paragraph... Well...


Also noticed that one Adeleke Adewolu, a southwestern commissioner at the NCC is talking trash because he wants to save his job. These particular set of people never cease to amaze one with their treachery.

Hmmm

Inec saying one thing, APC saying another. They really want to rig election for tinubu to become president come 2023...

Truth shall be reveal

Northern Nigeria says no.

And they have won.
But that is not important.

Let us laugh at ipob because obi Cubana bought cows.

Ipob are our biggest problem.

Ichorkor

You are Lalasticlala's right!

you be witch, how you take know that he is lala ? You are right

it's very sad
we Nigerians have a very long way to go

Ok

Card readers by the same INEC fail to accredit voters 30 - 50% of the time yet you have the capacity to transmit results you think you have when card readers of over 5 years now you cannot master.

No one will be fooled by this paid foolishness. Even in advanced democracies they have realized the dangers of an electronic dependent electoral system and are reverting to paper.

NCC remains the only institution that can give us real data on issues of coverage. INEC staff want to award contracts to themselves.

Can INEC foil hacking? No but they delude themselves they have some idiotic capacity.

Pdp INEC from River state abi?
Nonsense

iwaeda:
“But our powers are given by the constitution and the law, and we’ll continue to remain within the ambit and confines of the power granted to the commission by the constitution and the law.”

Simply meaning no electorate transmission.

Countries are migrating forward, Nigeria is going backwards. And almost half the National assembly members schooled abroad

Useless fellow that don't mean well for this country. God will surely pay you all, for choosing yourself first instead of the nation

CSTRR:
Northern Nigeria says no.

And they have won.
But that is not important.

Let us laugh at ipob because obi Cubana bought cows.

Ipob are our biggest problem.
