Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former spokesman of the House of Representatives, Honourable Eseme Eyiboh, has said that the 2023 election will be an absolute return of power to the people.<\/p>\n

Eyiboh, who made this known in a chat, was reacting to concerns raised by some politicians over the use of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System introduced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.<\/p>\n

Some Nigerians had expressed optimism that with the introduction of the Biometric Voters Accreditation System (BVAS), rigging might become a thing of the past in the nation\u2019s electoral system.<\/p>\n

But APC claimed that Nigeria is not yet ready for such technology.<\/p>\n

Recall that the All Progressives Congress, APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, kicked against BVAS deployment and the INEC Results Viewing Portal, IReV.<\/p>\n

Adamu doubted if the introduction of BVAS for transmission of election in real time would produce a fair result for the nation during the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

He explained that Nigeria does not cut the image of a nation that is ready and prepared to take the risk of deploying such technology for use in an election.<\/p>\n

But, Eseme said that with the introduction of BVAS, all other equipment, and with the firm position of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on a credible poll, power will surely return to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress candidate for the House of Representatives for Eket\/Onna\/Esit Eket\/Ibeno federal constituency, further stated that the era of someone winning because he is incumbent or has so much money was over because of the new technology introduced by INEC.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe introduction of the Biometric Voters Accreditation System, BVAS, other technologies and the entire strategies put together ahead of the poll will ensure that power returns to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201d2023 is an absolute return of power to the people. One man, one vote,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
