Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A public affairs analyst, Shehu Mahdi, says Nigeria has everything it takes to adopt the real-time transmission of election results.<\/p>\n

Mahdi made this statement on Friday when he featured in an interview on Arise Television monitored .<\/p>\n

He was speaking on the ongoing national debate of e-transmission of election results in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Senate on Tuesday amended Section 60 of the Electoral Act to allow presiding officers at polling units to electronically transmit election results to the Results Viewing Portal, IREV, of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.<\/p>\n

Reacting, the public commentator said, \u201cThe Senate is toying with the future of Nigeria. We have the resources, manpower, financial capacity, and infrastructure to facilitate the live transmission of results. Enough of the pretence and breach of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be on record that the leg dragging and the knee jerking by the Senate in respect of of live transmission of election results is an injury to the nation, an injury to democracy, an injury to the local and image of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Senate assumes that Nigeria is not ripe for live transmission of result, when is it going to be ripe? It is more than ripe considering the fact that the Federal Executive Council, the National assembly had been conducting their meetings and their sessions via zoom.<\/p>\n

\u201cA country where zoom is a means of communication is a country that is adequately prepared for live transmission of results. Nigeria is fully equipped for e-transmission of election results.\u201d<\/p>\n
