I oppose the Senate’s decision to combine electronic and manual transmission — Atiku

I agree with Atiku on this. I earlier made a post about this:

https://www.nairaland.com/8615894/why-senates-electoral-amendment-still

De blurryness don de clear .. ah tot the ADC was congratulating Nigerians and de Senate for passing a chameleonic bill that will only enhance confusion and blatant election rigging

Atiku just too useless I swear

Atiku is heating up the polity as usual, by 2027, he will retire to Yola finally.

With or without it....you can't win

Seeplusplus:
Atiku just too useless I swear

And you think you are useful

The manual is a loophole to rig

COMRADES, no sane Nigerian will agree with dual transmission of electoral results
Electronic transmission of results or nothing

Seeplusplus:
Atiku just too useless I swear

Must you comment?
Tufiakwa

Electronic o..
Manual o...
Transmit o..
Transfer o..

President Tinubu won't even sign anything..

Wetin Una wan do

Atiku is still looking fresh and robust while Peter Obi has lost a lot of weight due to desperation and frustration.

Yess spot on sir, This APC guys won’t ever let network work in their opposition strongholds and then use that as an excuse for manual transmission.

He is right but Atiku should just go and rest, he has nothing to offer

Atiku is on point. No giving the Dr a rigging change

It MUST be mandatory transmission of results. No room for elections thieves to perform glitches again.

Seeplusplus:
Atiku just too useless I swear

It should be obvious who the useless person is here, seeing that Atiku was the brainbox for PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies that led to 16 years of widespread prosperity.

How useful to Nigeria 🇳🇬 are you, in comparison with Atiku

Electronic transmission of election results remains largely theoretical in most electoral systems worldwide. In the Nigerian context, approximately 95% of activities conducted before, during, and after elections are manual in nature. Voter accreditation via the BVAS is manually executed; voting itself is manual; vote counting is manual; and the completion of result sheets at the polling unit is likewise manual. Even the scanning or photographing of results for upload constitutes a manual process. Furthermore, the collation of these transmitted scanned results at the ward, local government, state, and national levels continues to rely predominantly on manual procedures.

These realities underscore not only the structural limitations of the process but also the persistent challenge posed by a general deficit in emotional intelligence within the public discourse surrounding elections in Nigeria.

Go tell that to the Senator representing your Senatorial District or contest for the Senatorial seat. It’s about time you contest for a different office. Your failure so far at winning the Presidency is legendary!

Freshandfitpod:

What do you or your favourite politician have to offer better than Atiku has offered in solid economic growth, unparalleled by others

There's no need of voting. The election is already rigged

Melagros:

Then get to the gate of the National Assembly and join the protesters. We have seen Obi and Amaechi right in front, with Obi setting the example decently.

Let the protest not be confined to social media spaces, or support offered from distances, when leaders of the opposition have the business of gathering together in front of the National Assembly to protest peacefully.

You are a nonentity

You can start your own protest or rather, sit at home

Tinubu till 2031.

You mean the Senate decision that your confused party has hailed already. Let us see how your party would come out and change mouth. Confused losers, Lol. Some were even hailing Gbajue. We watch if Gbajue will also change mouth and follow Atiku. Confused losers.

You got the words out of my mouth and it is spot on
They knew what they would do. Back to 2023.
Why use the two systems together?
They have already made a room to fail.
Is it not Nigeria again? It doesn't take so much for network to fail, either technically or man-factored.

Those accomplices called senators would be laughing at those praising them for allowing the two .methods of collating results.
Nigeria woes largely are man-made.

Exactly my fear in the other thread. The clause is very dangerous and has made the bill as good as what it stood for in 2023.

With your plan to HACK into INEC Server will not materialise, the game is up. We go for both manual that will generate the results to be transfer electronically. In Nigeria we vote manually with help of electronic

Agbadorian go for check up. Hit up your psycho doc.

Kudos to Atiku.

If Free and fair Election is held inside Aso Rock, Tinibu will lose even if he is contesting Position of best Amala Eater.

Like you opposing has any meaningful effect

When you were vice president, why didn't you try to make it work then.... Oh I forgot you were busy packing money

Macphenson:

What does mandatory mean
If there is no transmission or glitch that we cancel the election

Either there's network or not, let them just enter the figures then snap and Upload the result sheets too, the uploaded data and image will get sent once the device gets to where there's network while on transit.
Like someone posted in another post, let this same process tale place at ward, LG and State level collation centres also, upload your figures as well as the result/collation sheets
