Get the mandatory electronic voting, electronic loading and transmission of election results from the iREV to the collation center.

No manual accreditation, no incidence form, no manual collation, no glitch of server and no 4am release of result.

If this is done, then Peter Obi will be the next president of Nigeria in 2027.

It is easier to manipulate electronic voting than manual voting. If the government or the opposition get hold of the source code then the result can be easily manipulated.

For manual manipulation there is alot of explaining to do. Infact in Ondo state LP was declared winner because forensic assessment of paper ballots showed that a single individual thumprinted multiple ballot papers for PDP and the court considered those invalid.

Most personal details information, banking, education exams, govt processes are now done electronically within secure servers power by TELECOS. Though no system is 100% foolproof, electronic elections have had proven success in UI, Estonia, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and the last US elections. Nigeria can't afford to remain behind.

The electoral, democratic and constitutional processes needs to be bettered with or without their limitations. The only people kicking against this development are the anti-democratic elements.

If anybody accepts the presidential election/national assemblies be conducted first no way for HE Peter Obi,let start with governorships/ state assemblies elections,any discerning LAWYER in support of good governance should approach the court,starting with presidential/national assemlies is not constitutional.

I do not think the INEC chairman has taken MALARIA medications recently,for publishing useless time table.

It's a recipe for disaster if electronic voting and result transmission is made mandatory in a country like Nigeria where so many things could go wrong on that day. I'm sure the headless mob knows this but they're just preparing the grounds for dispute after they lose the elections as usually

It's time for patriotic citizens of this country to demand in real time transmission of election Results

Without a transparent electoral process in Nigeria, the whole process will just be a waste of time and resources.

During the last governorship election held in Anambra state, the results were transmitted electronically on real time and we did not wait for eyeneck before we knew the results and outcome of the election. This is what we want in the presidential election!

When will they separate presidential from the other elections?











Isn't doing the same thing the same way and expecting different result insanity?
