Jonathan Calls For Electronic Voting In Nigeria by ManirBK: 9:59pm On May 27, 2019
A former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has advocated that Nigeria must embrace electronic voting to sustain its democratic values.

The former President disclosed this on Monday at a Lecture/Book Presentation to mark the Second Term Inauguration of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, in Port Harcourt.

Dr. Jonathan said that if democracy must endure, the democratic process must be developed in a way that people will have confidence in the electoral process.
He noted that the African Continent must come up with a minimum standard for the establishment of the Election Management Body.

Dr. Jonathan said for the purpose of confidence building for credible elections, no single person should have the power to constitute the Election Management Body.

He said: “We must come up with new standards for constituting our election management body in a way that people will have confidence.

I believe in some quarters what they do is that a body of people constitute the Election Management Body. It is not in the hands of one person.

“When you leave such responsibility in the hands of a politician, no matter how good the person is, there will be the tendency for people to suspect that the right thing is not done. When people don’t have confidence in the system, whatever they do, it is difficult for the people to accept.”

According to him, “The continental body, African Union, should come up with a minimum standard across Africa for constituting Electoral Management Body”.

He did not introduce it.

In fact, Jonathan's government resisted it.

It's not the fact that you are wrong, it's the boldness in the wrong that is surprising.

It was at the discretion of the president to sign the bill, just the same way Buhari refused to sign that of 2019.

Continue asking silly questions.

INEC is an independent body.

When INEC sought to introduce card readers for the use of the 2015 elections, the PDP resisted it and even put pressure on the ousting of Jega the INEC chairman.

And who signed the electoral bill at his own discretion?

PDP going against it does not mean, Jonathan was not in support of it.. same way, if Buhari had decided to amend the electoral act before 2019 election does not mean APC is for it..

GEJ shld sit down at one place. It is now he realise that electronic voting is the best for Nigeria.
Why didn't he start the process of bringing it to fusion from 2011?

You don't know anything and I don't need to keep educating you.

Jega applied the card reader exploiting the already established electoral act.

Just as PDP wanted Buhari to sign an act allowing for the electronic transmission of results which they were hoping to compromise.

PDP, and by extension Jonathan did not envisage card readers. That's why once Jega introduced it, PDp began to convulse.

Dont need to trade Insults with you, GEJ signed that bill, he had the discretion of turning it down. Inec may have introduced it, GEJ appointed Jega and made it law so it's his glory. Same way Buhari takes credit for BVN implementation.

Dont deviate from the topic of GEJ calling for electronic voting.
