I hope on the day of election they will not say they did not test run the machine, hence some technical glitches

Excuses are excuses, performance is key. If you loose don't complain.

This is very certain now that many of them will not return back in 2027.
I hope INEC will abide by the rules.

Freshandfitpod:
What kind of clause is this, no network will fail, stop being negative, all we want is perfection.

Let's also consider some communities without network coverage, everything is not about rigging. Most of rural-rural settlement don't have gsm network, should we now consider there vote invalid because of 'must' transmit electronically?

Finally, Nigerians can vote with confidence

fergie001:
No difference, 😂

They will all declare communication failure.

Or ‘glitch’ as it’s now come to be commonly known as!

Something I have learnt in all of these ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION issue is TRUST. Trust is lacking on the part of Nigerians to INEC, to Presidency and to th Judiciary.
And in a country where trust is lacking, everything becomes a challenge.
We all know that ordinarily, today's adoption should make the deal for everybody but for lack of trust!

Just to please some people

But manipulation go still sup
@zenith point

Some voting units, centres and lgas that are special to the actors with some privileges will simply have the signals and networks turned off or jammed on the election day with this clause...

Election litigation lawyers must be rubbing their hands in glee.

The drafting quality of that provision is poor, perhaps due to the draughtsmen being under pressure to accommodate all sides.

A genius-level, confusionist compromise provision conjured by Mr Akpabio and his APC Senate team that says a lot but will bring little to no change on election day.

The provision has more holes in it than an 18-hole golf course.

It is a gift to lawyers as I expect election-related disputes centred around the interpretation of this provision will plenty yakata.

That move by the Senate is a total waste of Plenary time.

There should be no alternatives oo..

If the system fails, they should wait.
If the results didn't upload, THE COLLATION FOR THOSE PARTICULAR POLLING-UNITS INVOLVED “SHALL” NOT COMMENCE -- until the results get successfully uploaded to the IREV-Portal.

.

THEY WANT TO CREATE LOOPHOLES.
With this, they will be allowing lots of glitches back-to-back, so that they can resort back to the use of papers.. (that would also be lots of waste of our money invested in these systems -- which would definitely fail again on the day of election)

The Act should also retain that duplicate copies of the result-sheets should be given to the police and the Party agents.

The most disgusting thing is that Bola Tinubu's supporters and APC offline and online bandits are all rejoicing that the Senate did not make electronic transmission of polling unit election result compulsory without a clause.



So these guys who claim to wish Nigeria progress and development are actually sore losers only pretending to be lovers of Nigeria just because their tribesman is the incumbent President destroying every sector and fabrics of Nigeria, gosh!



Worst of it all are the youths who ought to be pushing for this because this is the only way ordinary Nigerians from poor family backgrounds can ever rise to become elected leaders in their states, LGAs without needing to swear an oath for a corrupt political godfather like Fubara to help them rig election and make the elected government official.


This boils down to the natural deficiency of the black man

On election day Na to buy starlink, carry am enter polling unit because we need to guide our elections results

Don’t get your hopes too high! This was the same way they lulled you into a false sense of security in the run-up to the 2019 elections! Then naive Nigerians, who innocently assumed results will be uploaded to a secure server, went out to party on the streets like it’s 1999, only to have a rude awakening when the rug was pulled from beneath their feet by the so called supreme court that declared INEC were under no obligation to transmit the results via IREV or whatever it’s called!

VDM said it all, the clause is dead on arrival. Just set aside money the inec officials and they will manufacture problems with the networks. Dollars go pass 1,500 this year due to election bribery

fergie001:

So why trying to force them when you know there's no difference. Infact no need for election because Tinubu will still find way to win. It is a waste of our money. What do you think?

Britishpea:

You know wassup! Tinubu and his gang have done their homework and are one step ahead of the naive civil-society groups, professional bodies, opposition figures and others calling for the mandatory transmission of results! They have a map of just where and where they need to ‘intervene’ to get the ‘results’ they want on the day!

richmond500:

I just don't see the difference between this and last election..

fergie001:

Exactly..

Putindbutt:
So what's the difference between this and what was initially adopted last week?, Lol. They only rearranged the sentences since bitter losers don't want to get sense.

The Presiding officer will eventually decide which one to use at the polling unit, whether E-transmission or manual.

All your noise and protest, how has it ended up?, how market?... You clowns 🤡

It baffles me how you prefer injustice and corruption over your country you claimed to love, because someone from your tribe is the current president. It's really disgusting reading your comments on Nairaland. Spit

mrvitalis:
This doesn't make sense at all

With bivas transmission doesn't require network, once transmitted it locks and delivers to the server once there is network

At least u can't tell me ward collection won't have internet

It is not as difficult as they make is appear, just being mischievous. Why can't they inatead collate the bvas machine at the local government headquarters where the network is likely to be stronger, so that the already uploaded result will just drop into the irev automatically.

Racoon:
”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....."

They should be reminded that they once advocated for it. Now they want to dodge it @all cost when it will cost them their structure of electoral criminality. The world have gone beyond this rhetorics.

Fake products, drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom fraud etc are all corruption in varying form with far worse implication

Uncle Tinubu will not find this news good.
But na lie
Everything will be done to favour uncle

They can convey their bvas machines to their LG headquarters so that the uploaded results will drop into irev automatically. It is not rocket science.

Make opposition kuku invest in Starlink for polling units.

You will hear technical glitches on that day, hence manual transmission of the results.

fergie001:
Not may .... Shall.. they are politicians for a reason.

They will all declare network failure, even the ones inside Govt Houses will say same thing 😂

Network or not, transfer or transmission Tinubu will retain his seat in 2027. All these are just noise pollution.

I'm not surprisingly surprised. They can shot down light throughout the country for the whole day or for some States they want to manipulate.

Once there is no light or Data blockage, who do you want to blame
.

Congratulations in advance to our amiable president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his reelection victory.

First Nigeria president to secure 25% in every state of the country.

Just imagine what a human being is saying .
To be frank I pity all of you with out good intentions.
U don't want merits.
U r hypocrites
U hate truth

What manner of a people are you lots?

Welcome development.

Lol.. “they should wait”.. for how long? 😂 don’t be ridiculous this man!

The irony is that IF AN ISSUE ARISE WITH E-TRANSMISSION ITS STILL FOLKS LIKE YOU THAT WILL BE SCREAMING “RIGGING”

Take a chill.. the Senate has done the right thing.
