The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has issued a strong warning against any attempt to weaken the electronic transmission of election results before the 2027 general elections.

The coalition said using electronic transmission helps fix problems by making sure the results sent from polling stations can’t be changed by politicians, corrupt officials, or other people with a lot to gain.

In a statement from its National Coordinator, Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the group expressed worry over what it called the increasing actions by some political figures to weaken or stop the complete use of electronic result sharing.

According to CNG, Nigeria has faced many problems in its elections over the years, and these issues mostly come from the stage where results are collected and counted.

There are claims that during this process, the results are changed in a way that does not reflect what the voters actually wanted.

The Coalition said, “We make it clear, without any hesitation or diplomacy: sending election results electronically is not something that can be skipped, tested, or discussed. It’s essential for fair elections and the final protection against election theft.

“Nigeria has endured for too long a system where elections are manipulated, and this has taken away the people’s right to freely pick their leaders. For many years, the biggest problem in our elections hasn’t been the voting itself, but the way results are counted.

“Numbers seem to change for no clear reason, some winning votes vanish, and the choices people make get ignored in favour of the decisions made by powerful political groups. It is exactly this criminal space that electronic transmission tries to remove.

“Electronic transmission ensures that once election results are sent out from the polling stations, they can’t be changed by politicians who are desperate to win, officials who might be corrupt, or hidden groups that try to influence things behind the scenes during manual counting. It ensures the ballot stays safe, maintains people’s confidence, and helps keep the country stable.

“Any resistance to this change can only mean someone is against being transparent. We are very worried about the recent remarks, actions, and laws connected with the Senate President and some groups in the National Assembly that seem meant to weaken or stop the complete use of electronic result transmission.

“These actions are not just frustrating; they are risky, take us backward, and go against democracy. When democracies around the world are using technology to improve transparency, it’s disgraceful that some top officials in Nigeria are thinking about going back to old-fashioned, unfair practices.”

It added that having repeated unfair elections could make people lose trust, lead to more violence after elections, and cause serious problems with whether the government is really allowed to rule.

The group asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to stay strong and continue using the full electronic system for sending results without any changes, and they also asked the National Assembly not to pass any laws that could make the election process less open and transparent.

It added, “People who don’t like e-transmission are against it because the old cheating system benefits them. They worry about a system where every vote actually matters. They fear a system they cannot manipulate.

“They fear the people’s verdict. The Senate President and his team need to remember that they hold their positions because the people have given them permission, not because they believe they have a right to it.

“The National Assembly isn’t a place where politicians just protect themselves; it’s a part of the constitution designed to make democracy stronger and ensure that every vote is respected and safe. History won’t treat kindly anyone who, in any way, tries to reduce the openness of elections.

“Nigeria can’t handle another round of contested elections, violence after the polls, legal fights, and problems with trust in the government. We can’t keep risking our country’s stability just because some top political leaders don’t like being held responsible.

“Credible elections go beyond politics; they are important for the country’s safety, the economy’s strength, trust from businesses, and the unity of the people. When people stop trusting the voting process, they also start losing trust in the country as a whole.

“And when faith collapses, unrest follows. Electronic transmission is not just a technical change; it serves as a protection for peace and national unity.”

It called on civil society groups, youth organizations, and the media to increase their efforts in advocacy and monitoring, and he encouraged Nigerians from all regions and political backgrounds to make sure their elected leaders are doing their duty.

CNG said it would fight against any effort to undo the electoral reforms, saying that anything less than fair, clear, and tech-based elections would not be acceptable to the people of Nigeria.

“We need to speak as one: our votes are important, and they should be kept safe through technology. Democracy can’t just rely on trust; it needs real systems that can be checked and proven.

“Nigeria belongs to the people, not to those in power who act behind closed doors, not to those already in charge, and not to those who make secret deals. As we get closer to 2027, let this message be clear to everyone and in every voting place: we will not allow anyone to take this country back to an earlier time. We will not let anyone take away the future of our children by manipulating elections. We will work together as a democracy to protect every vote that Nigerians have cast.

“The time for electoral darkness has passed. The era of transparency must prevail. The Nigerian people will not accept anything less than honest, open, and modern elections in 2027,” it said.

We heard this yesterday na. Make una contribute buy star links for corpers for non negotiable transmission. Corper allowee no fit run am.

In 2026, the senate leadership is afraid of electronic transmission of results?

There must be something they are not telling Nigerians .

Let’s hope this pressure from the CNG will wake them up to doing the right thing.

Its a non brainer
Many legislators are interested in boosting our democracy thru real time transmission of results
Its d house leadership influenced by Oga at d top trying to kill our democracy
Some people just have criminal tendencies in their blood but hide it under the cloak of politics.

If them implement E-Transmission, Tinubu no go get reach 1million votes. 😁

Its all too obvious that they r dead scared of smthng.
Everybody wants this but only a few want to remain in d analog system where they have perfected rigging over d years.
Till they r able to manipulate d new process trust them to resist it.
Go to any govt office where corruption is rampant and try to introduce a technology to stop it and see how they will hate u, fight u and bring 1000 reasons why it shudnt be done

What is Tinubu scared of? Even after buying all the governors?

Or they mean to say Eating Fura and Drinking Kunu is non negotiable.

Una mind go dey

The part of the country that will be the most hit complaining too. That's good 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

NLC should shut down this country if they reject electronic transmission of electoral results

Hope all this so called pressure group wouldn't melebe melebe according to wike when dollar starts raining on them

When PMB was contesting for Presidential seat where was this coalition.

Nice one

Without the electronic transmission of results, 2027 election is a waste of time and resources

As if they understand what electronic transmission of result is

Wow!

That the north can go against rigging elections? Incredible! See eh! Lessons are learned from Nigeria. Mehn!

1. Keep working hard to be your best. Once upon a time, the north would boast of having the political power. Now, they are crying hard. And their cry is so loud because they know they aren't dealing with Jonathan. Interesting.

2. Anything and Everything can favor you no matter the present position. Keep working hard and don't give up.

3. God can use anyone to prosper you and achieve your goals. Even your worst enemy can be used without him/her knowing. As bad as Tinubu is, he is the one God is using against the north to make sure Nigeria is free. How? Tinubu wan rig 2027 election by doing "eye-service" everywhere. But the core north is now against him. See how God is moving Nigeria forward. Like "play play", this bill will be passed. And the north don't even know now that it's a double-edged sword they ate plotting. How any northern candidate will win based on competence is what I am trying to get after direct transmission is passed.

Story!!! We will not do it ad no transmission coming anywhere. Go to court we will meet you there that divide and rule tactics from the North ended with Gej, go to court.

I only pity obi for his failure to understand his position as political manique a k a flashlight won't help him a bit. All the North want is power back to them but want to use the South to stage it as they did to Gej then take us back to Fulani era where cows is Number 2 citizen sorry we are ahead of you all e go surprise you all wetin go shelle.

We dey watch patiently make una empty una basket finished we launch....

E transmission is a must but regardless Apc will win by miles only a delulu will think that they won’t win in 2027!

You sound quite hollow and dense with this 'South' talk. Who told you that the average South Easterner or South Southerner would not prefer a northerner to this extremely tribalistic, parochial, and detestable agbado goat currently holding power? Don't even get me started.

Shove this 'South' talk down your derriere. Let agbadorians realize that they are on their own. There is nothing like "South". Everybody will bear their father's name.

As long as you people did not canvas for electronic transmission during your kinsmen's regime then you don't have any right whatsoever to canvas for it now. Enjoy the same rubbish you guys gave to us during your regime. You guys don't own nigeria... Nigeria is for all region

Oga, wake up and smell the coffee. You're waving to a bus long gone. The SS and the SW are for Tinubu. As for our perpetually wailing folks who like playing the victim card, you can gum with the Fulanis all we care.

A few people in power cannot be allowed to override the wishes of millions of people in Nigeria. It's electronic transmission of vote results or no elections.

Thief Thief, it's that how the effigy that fell in Turkey, wants to get himself into power again.

These guys stole soo much they forget installing a "anonymous rigging software" is more honorable than blatant disregard of public demands... money and power corrupts the mind

It's really morphing. From "Tulumbu will never win APC plimalies", to "Tulumbu will never be plesident", to "Tulumbu will never be sworn in", to "Tulumbu no go get I million votes". You need to make yourselves happy, though. It's not easy bearing pain and agony since February 2023 (almost 3 years now).
