You are right?
But u see that man called Tinubu is wiser than all these mumu parading themselves as opposition. He knows they will deliberately make a mess of the e-transmission so as to have a ground to reject results incase it didnt favour them. It is easier to prove the case of manual records in court than e-transmisiion that someone can employ the Russian hackers to mess up the whole thing once they sense they are losing. They tried it in the last election, that's why Yakubu quickly abandone the real-time stuff. In Tribubal where they can contest the INEC released results, no opposition could present their data in tribunal, all they were contesting were Tinubu didnt have certificate, Shetima was not eligible, Tinubu didnt win Abuja etc.
With the current APC formation and Tinubu preparedness, the opposition figures know that they cant defeat Tinubu. They dont even have 20% chance. Tinubu will use vote buying, oppression, and other tactics and not necessarily result alterations as it has always been done. Opposition cant withstand his vote buying and strategies to win election, only thing they can do is to compromise the e-transmission process by involving foreign agents to interrupt the process. Nigeria technological stamina has not developed to that level to withstand this type of foreign more advaced cyber threat. And lack of patriotism is also not helping unlike in other countries.
I don't know what is difficult in doing your e-transmission and allow people who want to do their manual also do theirs. The two of you can now contest the two processes if there is any discrepancy and present the process you trust in court.
APC didnt say there shouldnt be e-transmission, they are only saying manual should go paripasu, just to checkmate the hacking-prone e-transmission.
But u are supposed to suspect these oppositions who are crying only e-transmission, that manual shouldnt be done simultaneously bcs that's the only process a Russian hacker can never compromise.
Get sense.

Yes I will agree with you but with the kind of money that we spent during election we can still employ good and competent people to handle to handle the security challenges.

If we keep on believing that we are not ready for E transmission of results honestly there will be no time that we will be ready.

If it was to Jonathan era u could have seen what could have happened.

Everybody could have blamed Jonathan.
Anyway we are still watching.

But why do we have so many dumb people in this country? Any law without a provision if the clause fails is bound to cause and create chaos. Imagine there is no network in Obi's polling unit, will they be happy if the results of the votes are not counted just because the e-transmission is not possible? What happens if some people spend lots of money to buy signal jamming equipment and deploy it in their opponent's region to prevent e-transmission, will they not be crying if the results are voided? Please use your brain. Imagine if card reader was made mandatory when Jonathan biometrics could not be captures, would he have voted without manual option?

do you know why many rep members and senators won the incubent ones in 2023? Because reps and senators results were transmitted live but the portal for the presidential results was disabled from the backend that its INEC that sabotaged the live transmission when they saw APC can not win. Why are you dont you want free and fair election? Do you think many senators will return if the results for the next year general election is to be transmitted live? Dont you want the policticians to seat up and do their jobs instead employing fools to insult tax payer? Dont you love your country?

Let us know your suggestion on what to do if network fails at a polling station.

If one network fails they get a back up network. Its that simple

It is Seyi Tinubu that will suffer the rigging when Bola is no more and Lagosians have done their own Otoge movement like Kwara state to flush out the family that enslaved them for 50 years.

The same way the new rulers of Kwara state are busy rigging the Saraki family is the same way Seyi Tinubu will be rigged out in future.

Have you transfered money manually this year? You need proper help. You need help. You need it very fast

Moving money from one commercial bank to another is not real-time transmission sometimes due to network area.

That's why I mostly use opay, palmpay n monie point DX days.

Person don send me money B4 e use days before I see am. Is that real-time??

I prefer the typewriter to a computer.

No need for battery, fuel or electricity.

Maybe INEC should bring in typewriters for result typing.

Typewriters are scarce for riggers.

You are certainly ignorant. The bvas uploads the scanned copy of the form EC8A into the irev as soon as the bvas machine gets to the local government headquarters where network would be stronger. Poor network does not stop the counting or the scanning of the result. Get informed before coming online to expose your ignorance

Quite obviously u are oblivious to what is being discussed?

Electronic transmission is allowed, there is a clause that says if for any reason the results cannot be transmitted electronically, the Eyeneck in their discretion can be done manually.

The deluded ones say no, if it is not done electronically, then the results should be discarded.

Oppression is already creeping in at the federal level. With the overwhelming dominance of one political party in the House, minority voices are slowly being pushed aside and silenced. If this continues, the masses including you may soon have no choice but to submit to whatever form of intimidation or control they decide to impose.
Read about what happens in a one-party state. When power is concentrated in one place, accountability weakens, opposition fades, and citizens gradually lose their voice.
Funny enough my name should tell you I'm also APC member.

Look at the unfortunate thing that happened to this country as human being calling others insensitive. This mistake of a life should be ashamed of himself of making a insensitive comment thinking it is constructive this dysfunctional system bore men with stone cold heart to the failure bewildering this country. There is ulterior motive to alternative clause to total transmission of results and is nothing less than the corruption that has spread like wild fire through the ballots. In a working country there should be rather some recourse, option and clause to how we will have alternative way that the results must be transmitted to the Irev and not the other way round. The world moves from analog to digital but elections bandits and their surrogates as well cohorts like you bank on the traditional and conventional ways to continue kidnapping and stealing people's victory people have wise up total transmission of elections results to the Irev is non negotiable. Thanks and have a blissful day!

fergie001:
Earlier, there was a rowdy session in the House of Representatives as Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive (APC - Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency) had moved a motion for the rescission of the earlier passed Electoral Amendment Bill 2026.

Recall that the House of Representatives earlier passed the Bill on 23rd December 2025, backing Article 60(3): mandatory real-time transmission of results through the IReV portal, a move the Senate passed with a proviso (manual voting when network fails).

Calls by Hon. Waive to recall the Bill caused an uproar in the green chamber prompting an Executive session (behind closed doors).

Returning to resume plenary, the House dissolved into a Committee of the whole chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Okezie Kalu. The Bende-born lawmaker however chose to carry the clauses in 10s (Clause 40-50, Clause 50-60), and hitting the gavel continuously with lawmakers in complete disarray.

Majority lawmakers called for a clause-by-clause review which the Deputy Speaker acceded to. Nonetheless, he however hit the gavel on Clause 60 with a proviso as passed by the Senate (manual transmission where network fails), causing chaos and protest from lawmakers who are demanding he turns down amendments to Clause 60.

Opposition lawmakers are standing and protesting. An unidentified Reps member shouting 'Ole' into the microphone....there is chaos in the green chamber.

Bamidele Salam (PDP- Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency) moves a motion to remove the proviso, seconded by Kingsley Chinda (PDP - Obi-Akpor), it fails with majority 'nays'.

Ugochinyere Ikenga (Imo) moves a motion for an amendment that results transmitted to IReV if successful must tally with Form EC8A, seconded by Ginger Onwusibe (Abia), amendment fails with majority 'nays'.

An unidentified member shouts into the microphone "they have collected money", and members stage walkout.

Minority caucus of the House of Representatives have stage a walkout chanting "APC OLE"

The House subsequently pass the Senate-type manual and electronic transmission of results via voice votes.

Shameless people, will walking out change the situation? Instead of trying to convince their colleagues they're walking out

nigeria is too divided tribally nd religiously to become a one party state...D only problem is tinubu as president is powerful & unfortunately also way more intelligent, tactical & more creative dan opposition.. so it now looks like cheating & oppression, my only advice is for opposition to probably hire tinubu to give dem ideas [color=#990000][/color]

We had that before. What people are agitating for is to see the results live. They believe something can happen to it on the way physically, but naively think nothing can happen to it on its way electronically or even in the server.

So now you know disenfranchisement is bad? During last election didn't some people come out to stop others from voting on grounds that they are from other regions? What did the government do about it? In the case of the so-called no network
Won't it even be more understandable that it's no one's fault ? In any case has there ever been in history where everyone voted in all elections?

Are you referring to or deliberately avoiding what happened in the South East? Should we forget about ipob threatening about elections?

This was how Peter Obi got about 90% of votes in the Southeast.

Today, he’s protesting for "real-time" transmission of these fraudulent results.

Our elections are not 100% faultless, no country has such BTW. Denying that it happens across the country, across states, across tribes and across political parties is hypocrisy or damnable ignorance.
Deliberately trying to deny legitimate voters or disenfranchise whole wards and even local governments without any reasonable option is madness.

Democracy is also about progress and development. Resorting to manual transfer of results in Nigeria negates everything democracy stands for

This is not resorting except you don't know the meaning. Allowing for both manual and e transmission of results is the sane and reasonable option. Blocking millions of people from voting without any option is chaos, which losers want. Democracy is about majority not about electronic transmission. Democracy has been in place for centuries without electronic transmission or internet. Saying it negates everything Democracy stands for is unreasonable.
