Electronic Transmission Of Election Results Not Mandatory, Says APC (Video) by Naijalarry: 3:40am On Mar 04, 2023

The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says there is no law making it mandatory for INEC to transmit electoral results electronically.

Dele Alake, Special Adviser on Media and Communications at the PCC made the declaration in Abuja on Friday when he spoke at a news conference.

Mr Alake said the transmission of election results was at the discretion of INEC.

According to him, the Electoral Act 2022 does not contain any mandatory provision regarding the transmission of results.

“The complaint over electronic transmission of election results is not supported by law.

“Section 38 of the Electoral Act 2022 relied upon by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) to challenge the result of the Feb. 25 presidential election has nothing to do with transmission of election results.

“Section 60, sub-section 2 of the Act deals with transmission of results and it is at the discretion of INEC. The Act does not contain any mandatory provision regarding the transmission of results.

“In any case, the process of transmitting results from polling units, whether real-time, two days later or at any time, cannot in anyway change the results that have been announced,’’
Mr Alake stressed.

He added that what was important was the counting of votes in the presence of party agents and to the hearing of voters.

Mr Alake said it was absurd to insinuate that time variation in uploading results would cause a change in the figures.

“In any case, the process of transmitting results from polling units, whether real time, two days later or at any time, cannot in anyway change the results that have been announced,’’ he said.

He added that the news conference was to respond to the candidates of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and that of LP, Peter Obi, following their recent statements as regards the election results.

He described the efforts by the PDP, the LP and the NNPP to approach the court over the election results as a welcome development.

“We must thank them for finally opting for the rule of law as against the initial belligerent posture as they continue their baseless journey of chasing after a mirage.

“Those that lay claim to democratic credentials are expected to be conscious of those inimitable minimum requirements of law and order, even in the face of perceived injustice.

“The initial knee-jerk and hothead call for anarchy by their proxies was ill-advised and would in no way serve any noble cause. It is good to know that reason has prevailed.

“We welcome the decision by the PDP, the LP and also the NNPP candidates to test their claims as ridiculous as they are in the court of law as provided for by the Constitution,’’
Mr Alake said.

He said listening to Mr Abubakar and Mr Obi at their different news conferences, left the APC family confounded.

“As we all can see, these two otherwise experienced politicians are pinpointing lack of adherence to the guidelines as basis for discrediting the votes lawfully cast by Nigerians.

“We shall examine the so-called process that was purportedly breached by the electoral body and how it, in their wild imagination, undermined the credibility of the election.

“The claim that INEC did not use the BVAS is false; those who voted across Nigeria, including Atiku and Obi, were accredited by BVAS,’’
Mr Alake said.

He added that except for bad losers, stakeholders should rather be celebrating the tremendous improvement the use of BVAS had brought to the electoral process instead of discrediting the election.

He said that 2023 presidential election was a watershed as it produced unprecedented outcomes and defied conventions.

According to him, the deployment and use of BVAS is the only reason the elections produced strange outcomes and upsets in many cases.

“The loss of Katsina and Lagos states to the PDP and the LP respectively, were contrary to expectations.

“BVAS brought the intended credibility to voters’ accreditation such that many governors and well-established politicians lost elections in what should be safe bet areas.

“The era of ghost-voting and stuffing of ballot boxes is gone. As the experience in the last governorship election in Osun has shown.

“Over-voting would automatically lead to outright cancellation of the results of the polling units based on the provision of the new Electoral Act,’’
he stressed.

Mr Alake said the same PDP trying to pull the wool across the face of Nigerians was the culprit in the Osun governorship election.

He added that contrary to the claims of Mr Abubakar and Mr Obi, the reasons for losing the elections were foretold.

“Besides the delusional expectations created during the campaigns to hoodwink the public, most PDP leaders knew their party had been decimated by Obi.

“The Southeast and South-South that were traditional strongholds of the PDP constituted the core support base for the LP.

“The PDP went into the election without its limbs and lied to itself that it could win the race.

“It is worthy of note that Atiku also accepted this fact during his press conference, when he lamented that his party’s votes in the Southeast and South-South were carted away by the LP,’’
Mr Alake noted.

So why was billions of tax payers money spent on something that is not going to work? Who procured the device? At what price?

APC is really evil, if you are celebrating the robbery that was done last Saturday in the name of elections; may you be rigged out of any position you naturally merited, may any promotion that you are qualified for be swapped with another person in whatever name you worship. Amen.

After the bigoted result we saw last week where LP won 95% in the southeast while other regions spilt their votes among parties, people can now see the obidient mob for what it really is.

If election is reconducted today, Obi will lose so much, he won't see 25% in more than 8 states.

"Mr Alake said the transmission of election results was at the discretion of INEC"

something that is meant for public consumption cannot be made on the discretion of a particular body. At least before the election, iNEC was giving the public an impression of a free and fair conduct of the process, so what happened.

Crooked people. Now they have taken over the job of INEC. Does it not prove that INEC was compromised in favour of APC?

Next Saturday we will wait at the polling booths, no matter what happens, to ensure our votes count. We must also ensure that no INEC staff changes our results.

Nigerians, do no be distracted for now. All focus should be on 11th March. Vote LP from top to bottom let's weed out bad governor's and state house of assembly members.

Wether the transmission of result is mandatory or not, court will decide. But for now, operation deliver all the LP candidate next Saturday.

shocked Their Candidate-Bola Tinubu and party chair were once caught saying they dont believe in INEC's BVAS. They quickly said that was not true.

Now, they have been against the electronics transmission of results too despite the APC dominated rubberstamp NASS passed the electoral act that mandated electronic transmission of results? .

Now this idiot like the stupid Senate President is coming out now again to tell us this crap? Nigerians these ares the wicked hypocritical bastards that are operating the structure of criminality and corruption ? So the APC does not see the advancement in technological innovation as development?

These are the bastards that have held this nation from progressing since 2015 yet they are enthusiastic about improving a simple democratic process as electioneering? Nigerians behold the enemies of state have been exposing themselves yet we took them for granted.

It is obvious that Atiku and obi chances of success are small..they would end up disgracing themselves at the tribunal

Even At 4:18 am? 🤡
First, it was Obi won't get 2k votes
Obi won't win any Polling unit
Obi won't win any LG
Obi won't win any state
Obi will drop out latest November 22
Obi will not win more than 5 states
Obi will not get more than 5 million vote
...
Obi's chances of success is small
Now you've won, focus on celebrating your candidate, no. You're here up very early to continue from where you stopped yesterday.

Since yesterday, your candidate's party has been dropping updates that would make the world see Nigeria and Nigerians as monkeys.

If you're so confident in your candidate's win, what are you afraid of that you couldn't sleep?

Actually, if there's a rerun and there's no disturbance at polling units and results are uploaded to inec server in real-time, it'll be a walk in the park for Obi.
The entire nation is in mourning. Watching foreign news about it and how it affects the little respect we have left should disturb you. Unless you have no business leaving the country.
What happened last Saturday should really bother you.

No sane person needs any further evidence to know that APC and INEC are in cahoot. Just imagine this senseless, arrogant and treasonable statement @ this point of nationhood.

From Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, Femi Fani-Kayode, Dele Alake, Festus Keyamo, Adamu Garba etc, it have been one treasonable statement or the other from anything APC. God! This is terrible! Can't believe I share nationality with these bunch of retards and fucktards.

I don't see why the states withdrew their case against the FG on transmission of election results from polling units to irev portal from the supreme court

INEC not adhering to the electoral process with respect to the transmission of voting results from polling units to irev portal is illegal under the electoral act and a constitutional issue to federating units

This presidential election will be annulled like June 12...
