Reacting to Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s comments that the Senate did not reject electronic transmission of results, human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong — made the following post on X:

Akpabio thinks he is talking to illiterates. The issue is making e-transmission compulsory. What is in the 2022 Act has been rendered useless by INEC, the Courts upheld INEC’s action. If e-transmission is not compulsory, we’re wasting our time.

These people are taking Nigerians for a ride. He lies with a straight face about official resolutions, then releases a falsified copy of the resolution to backup his lies.

LIKE= E-Transmission should be compulsory.

SHARE = E-Transmission should not be compulsory.

Preelection rigging. Tinubu wants to win by fire by force but God pass him.

Hehehe! With the alleged falsification of the Senate resolution on this issue, Nigeria is still on a long thing. Until there is push and legislation on;

-1). Use of card reader.
-2). No use of incidence form/manual accreditation.
-3). Timely electronic transmission of results from the polling centers.
-4). Quick modalities for post-election litigations before swearing in, there is no going to be any iota of sanity in our electoral processes.

Nigerians are really the most docile people on earth.

Without E-transmission at the polling booth mandated by law
Elections in 2027 is a total waste of Nigerians resources. Akpabio can pass law to make Tinubu a life president.

Results not uploaded in real time for the world to view only means anyone can sit somewhere and write results and tell you to go to court and still present the same forged result as evidence.

No checks, no accountability. Just same old ways of rigging elections.
However with realtime upload at the polling station backed by law, any results not signed by a Presiding Officer, and uploaded will be adjudged as void and a cancelled election in a court of law.

It allows for more transparency and accountability
with more scrutiny of election at the polling unit rather than at collation centres where alot of underhand practices would have happened.

It must be backed by law not just a mere exercise inec can decide to undertake as they please.

FEAR NOT . Our thumbprint go surely counts.

We sha don sabi the WINNER.the CRY CRY one

If you make transmission e-compultsory, what happen if technology failed or sabotage?

If there is no portal we can access and see winners before 7pm on election day. All elections na cruise 🤣

We go Dey wait INEC concoction

Even here on Nairaland, I see something like that. Ordinary voting poll, the results changed days later. These are the people who first abuse others that there are no polls online but they still don't like a fair process. We don't like integrity, we are afraid of truth. Truth does not fear. Lies do.

SixSeven:
Can you see how the poll numbers have changed after the poll has ended?

It was 57% against 37%, now it had reduced to 56% against 37%. Obi had 1 more vote from the last time it ended and Tinubu had 3 more votes after the Nairaland collation centre and server glitch adjusted the result I have no problem with approximates, I have a problem with the tampering of the total number of votes cast for each candidate.

Our problem is not e-voting or any other thing like that, our problem is the refusal to follow a process through and the desperate need to always manipulate things rather than having an objective process with its integrity intact.

I didn't expect anything to change but I deliberately monitored this thread and archived it to see how changes are made because the mods may hide some comments and in the future, the poll result can change after 4 days, who knows? I should not be doing this but I want to see the end result of the monitoring experiment as a social study. Out of nowhere we saw this poll and it closed so fast:

President Bola Tinubu is the Best President of Nigeria Since 1999- Nairaland Poll

These data boys have a lot of PR work to do, manipulation is not out of the equation.

So u people don’t know before that this election is a waste of time

Are you expecting a miracle before

Whatever they wanna do, let them go ahead. At least, I don't see Tinubu in Aso Rock after 2027 elections.

A total waste of time and resources if electronic transmission of elections results is not made compulsory

I suggested that Tinubu and INEC simply share the N1 trillion budgeted for the 2027 elections among Nigerians and dispense with the charade of conducting elections altogether. At least that would be more honest.

Why waste billions for that machine when you politicians 🤔 knew ringing is the key and food for you people to win an election 🙄 yeye people they know they don't need it oh but the y still bought it and now crying to use it.

I don't think any sane person should vote for Tinubu.

They know that Nigerians will vote them out,that's why they want to start rigging the elections before the elections proper.
What are they afraid of,'they wicked runs when no one is pursuing them'-Bible!

There is no reason whatsoever that Irev should be domicile. Transmission of election votes and results in the Irev is nonnegotiable that is where we can have free, fair, credible and transparent elections. The Irev system shows it is a working tool as well the only sacred weapon and remedy to shorthand elections malpractices and irregularities as well the Pathfinder to credible and less elections litigation. If Nigeria wants to fix this country INEC must be fixed first and for INEC to be fixed Irev must be fixed. No retreat! No surrender!! The power must be transferred to people through the ballot!

Ha
This your faith is admirable but it might not stand ooo tinubu is willing to do anything to stay in power.

Waste your time .. na you sabi .

The Devil has not been defeated yet. his still roaming around Earth

I don't understand how people that has been confirmed to rig the most in the last election be playing this kind of opposition? Except of course you are planning to rig through hacking the e transmitting platform. You are setting yourself up. An incumbent president with majority of Senator, house of reps and 90% of governors in Nigeria has nothing to lose. He didn't lose in 2023, he's not going to lose in 2027.

Why are the labour party senators and house of reps not protesting? Oh I forgot they all decamped to serious parties.

I don't see any reason why we can't have live transmission of the results and the numbers on NTA. Give it to one young man to do and they will link all results along with the signed copy of the polling unit result to the database that everyone can see. Any voter can fact check their polling unit using a link and this makes the process transparent. After all, APC has monitoring centres, so why are we making a big deal of 774 local government dataset? What are they monitoring?

There is no big deal in it, it's the magomago they want to do that is making it bigger than it is that they now call professors and all manner of people just to do counting and verify it. Aren't we ashamed as a country?

Peter Obi and atiku must be fools if they sign peace accord without E- transmission of results

Forget Akpabio is a partisan to APC should not be holding the senate chair

It has never been a game changer cos riggers will always prevail

Then they should just cancel 2027 election and let Tinubu govern in peace till 2031.

Very simple as APC

Who are those that rigged the most. They said the region had a higher cases of rigging they didn't state the party. So i really don't get the jargons you are saying.

Does this not tell you that Tinubu never won the 2023 elections?

Clearly, he is afraid of a free and fair election

LegendHero,

Tinubu is afraid of free and fair election despite having 30 governors

lol so all these controversies are because he’s afraid to contest a free and fair election?

Yes,it should be compulsory
