"ACN Wants Electronic Voting in 2015."

The Action Congress of Nigeria on Sunday said the country must use electronic voting in 2015 in order to ensure the integrity of its elections. The party also called for the hand over of elections back to Nigerians instead of the judiciary.

ACN in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said with electronic voting, the overall cost of elections will be far less; there will be stability in the polity, the atmosphere of war usually associated with elections will disappear and the involvement of the security agencies will be de-emphasized.

It said though Section 52 sub-section 2 of the Electoral Act bans the use of electronic voting ”for the time being”, the National Assembly should move quickly to amend that part of the law, while the Federal Government should provide the Independent National Electoral Commission with all the resources needed to make electronic voting a reality.

The statement reads:
”We assure INEC of our full support towards using electronic voting in 2015. We also appeal to all other political parties, Civil Society Organizations and indeed all Nigerians to join us in pushing for a system that will eliminate the role of thugs and sideline vote thieves during our elections, in addition to making our elections free, fair and credible.

”While electronic voting is not a magic wand, it is the surest way yet for Nigeria to join the league of countries that have wiped out electoral fraud, which is the worst form of corruption. It is also the best way to hand over Nigeria’s elections back to Nigerians, instead of having the judiciary determine who wins what contest. Two years is a long enough time to achieve this.”

The party argued that even Ghana, which has organised perhaps the best elections in this part of the world, has realized it can no longer continue with manual voting, hence it did not wait for troubles associated with electoral malfeasance to break out before embracing electronic voting during its last general elections in December.

”It is not just enough for us to sit back in envy while the world hails our neighbour Ghana for being a model in electoral rectitude and participatory democracy. Let us ask ourselves what we need to do differently to shed our toga of electoral fraud and brigandage.

”Yes, there were some hiccups during the last elections in Ghana, which were conducted with electronic voting. But Ghana quickly moved to correct whatever problems came up. The system also allowed Ghana to extend voting without fearing that ballot boxes will be hijacked or stuffed,” it added.

Now if the essence of electronic voting is to hand back election to the citizens, guess you can now logic why they are now opposing it while calling themselves "progressives"? Band of nauseating hypocrites everywhere. Meanwhile let's mention all of their supporters and members here;
-Sarrki.
-Hellineus.
-Seunmsg.
-Mannabbgrills.

Just imagine! The same wicked people. Everything they have ever supported or opposed, they did the worst. From fuel subsidy, instigating insecurity, electoral criminality, bastardization of democratic processes and now, forgery of national policy documents( budgets, tax laws, legislative proceedings).

Today, same people are saying timely electronic transfer of election results is not needed. Nigeria should maintain the structure of criminality despite having almost all governors in the coven.

They have inflicted so much ills, chaos, problems and challenges in our national life that it will take centuries to correct. You need to have a dead conscience to be an APC member or supporter.

Terrible set of humanity I tell you. Godswill Akpabio have committed a lot of legislative criminality against the Nigerian state. He will forever go down in infamy and his waterloo will be epic. Karma does not forgives or forgets.

APC is criminal fortress inhabited by enemies of good governance

Same thing they were clamoring for over 10 years ago is what they are fighting against now

I am waiting patiently for 1 handle, just 1

Every past administration they criticized they are doing in"sanely much more worse

I think we already have electronic voting. By 2031 we should be talking about electronic voting.

The legacy that made a sitting president confess the election that made him president is unfair to other candidates.

Buhari did well with the electoral process tho Asiwaju hasn't done much.

You lied! The PDP instituted the 2010 and 2015 electoral acts that were modified by the NASS as the 2022 amended electoral act with the attempt @BVAS and electronic voting that the APC structure; from Tinubu to senators opposed, and has continued to opposed till date despite buying over governors?

So why is the APC afraid of electronic transfer of election results despite advocating for same years back? Nigeria would not end after Tinubu. Whatever approach they use would be doubled and used against them in time to come. You lots can continue to defend lawlessness, but bear in mind that what goes around also comes around.

Tinubu right from day one is an hypocrite. I have noticed that he doesn't talk about many things he used to advocate when he was an opposition. Take for instance electronic voting, payment of oil subsidy, sovereign national conference, political restructuring, true federalism and more.

The hypocrite keeps exposing himself as the day goes by.
