Hmmm. We are in for a very long ride

Omowale2023:
Nigeria needs serious help. Honestly speaking. Other countries are doing it. Why can't Nigeria do the same?

Because the government know that we can't do anything.

The lives of innocent people are not their concern.

After all they are willing to pay peanut to thugs.
Some will be elevated to positions that they are not qualify for.

helinues:
The senators who voted against the bill should be denied reelection.

It's obvious they are those who did not perform and can't rely on their performance to win election

I'm so loving this new you.. We shouldnt use everything for politics.. Governance and advance of democracy matters

My prayer is that God in his wisdom should help the country break into 6different countries because the way it is -a dangerous colloidal mixtorture

Very lame and stone-aged excuses from the senate president! I can’t think of anywhere in Nigeria I have been to that I can’t successfully upload a document and send to someone in any part of the world. Highest is a couple of minutes lag then it goes. So why can’t a trillion budget achieve this simple task with transmitting results upon completion of voting?

Assuming his lame excuses of lack of electricity and all is an issue (which I don’t know how when you can as well have standby generators), whose responsibility is it to provide electricity and necessary infrastructure? Is it still not the government’s?

Again, what’s a trillion budget for - pay adhoc staff, print papers and bride for results manipulation?

Oga Senator, that’s not the demand from one NGO, it’s a demand from well meaning Nigerians that are yearning for democratic advancement and credible elections!

We can't keep giving du.mb excuses

Even with the highest number state, APC is not even sure of winning a free and fair election.

Omowale2023:
They won't agree to Love transmission of results because of 2023 elections.

They know obi won it.

Are you talking about the same guy who was so naive that Obiano kicked him out of APGA for trying to control his government after helping him win?

Was it not Atiku who rescued the propagandist liar from political IDP camp in 2019, only to betray him four years later and indirectly help Emilokan’s turn at the treasury

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

R2bees2:
Their argument is that there are communities without power supply which could be a serious problem during E-Transmission of results, so how do we ensure it won't be a problem. I think it is a strong point

It's not a problem. There are POSs' everywhere, so what technology are they using that Nigeria can't use?

RichBoy247:
After kicking, they should also punch. We run this government, not them

It is temporary. Dont be too boastful.

I.laughed when I read ...you don't have a electricity in your village . Isn't this an indictment on tbeee government inability to provide social amenities for the masses ...yet some people will still vote for incompetence

You mean Falana and all these people are Obedients?

Nasman387:
Even with the highest number state,

APC is not even sure of winning a free and fair election.

If the opposition is not united behind a strong candidate then they will lose again like they did in 2023, with Kwankwaso and Obi division of PDP votes.

Do you know what ordinary people can do to make the political class unite for a return to PDP deregulation and privatisation policies of prosperity

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria is the second country in the world with the lowest voter turnout, worse than war-ravaged Afghanistan and Libya, a new ranking by Picodi has shown.

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.

It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.

Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.

How?
How did Atiku bring obi to relevance? I don't blame you, in 2019, Atiku had his most votes in the South because of Obi. In 2023, Atiku couldn't win the north, Tinubu floored him on his home turf. Even in Atiku's state in 2023, Atiku won Obi with just less than 10k votes, but here you are, thinking Atiku gave obi national prominence. You must living under a rock

How is 10k the difference between Atiku’s 6,984,520 votes and Obi’s 6,101,533 votes

jameshankss:
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

They have 82 Senators out of 109 members

They have 242 out of 360 Federal House of Representative members

They have 30 Governors out of 36

They control the Judiciary

They control INEC

They have succeeded in splitting the ranks of almost all the opposition parties

They control both the institutionalized and non-institutionalized organ of coercion

Despite all these...

Why Is The APC Afraid Of Real-Time Electronic Transmission Of Results?

If they make transmission of results electronically compulsory, in the case or area where there is no Network or they are unable to transmit the result, it would amount to cancellation of the results from that area. I hope you now understand. Trust Nigerian, they would deliberately sabotage the network on that day and make the transmission of results impossible thereby invalidate the results

The 10k votes is an illustration, it should not be considered as the real thing. However, my opinion and points still remain valid, Atiku couldn't win Obi flawlessly in his own state and you claim Atiku brought Obi to Prominence?
You are joke, honestly speaking.

While you are entitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to your own ALTERNATIVE facts. Atiku beat your useless betrayer to a distant third place in Adamawa.

2023 Elections: Atiku Wins Home State, Adamawa With Wide Margin

The PDP candidate polled a total of 417,611 votes as against Tinubu’s 182,881 votes and Obi’s 105,645 votes. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) came a distant fourth with 8,006.

Sir, the whole thing comes to the conclusion that Atiku never brought Obi to Prominence, you can argue all you want. Atiku never brought Obi to Prominence. You can it to the bank.

Fgo31:
Why was there no electricity or facility in those areas that will not permit a real time transmitting of electronic transmission?. It is a deliberate effort to make the community stagnant. It is a deliberate effort to make the nation poor. Electronic transmission shouldn't be a debate if we have a working system and a working country.

That one is not even an argument the government is budgeting 1tr for this sham of an election so I think eyeneck can make provisions for that challenges if they so will, we have mini/compact solar that can help with that it's even movable all these things aren't excuses

I thought the APC has taken over 30 states in Nigeria and claim they'll be victorious in the 2027 elections. What are they afraid of now? Hahahahaha..... Akpabio, Tinubu and their cohorts are afraid of e-transmission of election results. No e-transmission, no elections come 2027

Ofunaofu:
The call to make electronic transmission mandatory isn’t born out of ignorance of the Electoral Act, it’s precisely because people understand it.

'Where convenient' is the loophole.

Convenience should not be the referee of democracy. Elections is serious business and every single votes should count

If INEC can transmit results in some places, then the logical demand is to fix the gaps and make it standard everywhere, not to preserve discretion that invites inconsistency, controversy, and mistrust.

You think common sense is actually common?

All those shouting Real time transmission of elections data are not even aware that there are people that could sabotage the transmission in a particular zone thereby Invalidating the results from that zone , giving undue advantage to their preferred candidate...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

See the kind of argument you are making in 2026... aren't your ashamed of what you just typed? Transmitting results real time is a way to make sure that what is counted at the pooling units is the same as what the returning officer submits at the collection centres. Thereby removing this issue of mutilated results and politicians writing results at the comfort of their homes. Besides if anyone would have the ways and means of hacking INEC, it should be the ruling party. So why are they afraid?

Rubber-stamp Senate led by Akpabio is oozing out unbearable stench by jettisoning the will of the majority of Nigeria.The mad rush into APC by defected governors and others is targeted towards securing forcible entry into second term.

So what happens when it does not work?
We cancel the election and have chaos?

It is not enough to have outrage
We must deal with reality of Nigeria
A country with no electricity?
If that issue was so important why just making noise about it now
One year to election
Is it legislation or infrastructure that will make it work?

Election results have been rigged forever
You don't end that with emergency legislation


You are suggesting our elections are voided if anything compromises the internet

We have zero control over the Internet and if external state or rogue actors sabotage it what next

The question remains if it is made mandatory and is struck by a glitch then what?
We cancel the elections and repeat until there is no glitch?

Alaye , shut it...this is Nigeria , anything can happen at anytime...as you are shouting yourself hoarse on e transmission , other rogue elements are planning a sabotage that will Invalidate a lot of results...use your head not your a****s

Like they are not already sabotaging the existing process right? So it's better we continue on this current heavily flawed process? If your are patriotic as you claim, you would support anything that can improve our electoral process in in anyway.. as for the last line..
