“Electronic Voting Is PDP’s Idea To Rig Election” – Senator Ali Ndume Blows Hot

“The truth of the matter is that we had 6 elections in this country and the one that was administered under the government of APC was adjudged to be very credible where you saw opposition winning elections under a sitting government. That was not the case during the PDP”.

“If you are thinking is that APC is doing this to take advantage of it, we would have taken advantage of the previous elections that were conducted credibly”.

Senator Kabiru Gaya, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission panel said he voted against his committee’s recommendation on electronic transmission of results because the amended version was better.

“I did not vote against my bill, Senator George Sekibo who accused me of doing so was just playing to the gallery.

“If you prepare something and you later saw an improved version of it, you can go for it.

“There is nothing wrong if the chairman of a committee support the amended version of a report he presented.

“It is not possible as it is, to transmit election in one part of the country and refused to do so in other part.

“It has to be uniform. The card reader can work anywhere in the country but you need network coverage to transmit results.

“Although INEC has said it is ready to do electronic transmission of results, but we have to involve the NCC and the National Assembly to create check and balances.

“The NCC will come to the National Assembly and we will determine whether its claims were practicable or not NCC.”
