We have other parties there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo whatever the outcome of deliberations and bills that are passed through the National Assembly must be considered as the output of the combined effort and collective will of the entire members of the legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must be realistic as a people. It\u2019s okay as a people to aspire the greatest ideals to the finest condition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think that when we look at our country, I\u2019m speaking to you right now from Asaba, Delta state and before I connected this morning, I went through literally about three networks to be able to find a stable connectivity to be on this show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know whether Nigerians assume that whatever is going on in Lagos or in Abuja is the same in the rest of the country in terms of facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI too wish it was different. I wish all of the connectivity issues sorted so that we can upload real-time electronic transmission of election results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
