The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to convince his party of over the Voters Accreditation System (BVAs).
He stated this on Monday while speaking at Chatham House.
In his words, “We are still building confidence in our democratic and voting system.
“INEC is yet to assure us that during this election electronic transmission, the technology to be used for accreditation and the total votes count is reliable, dependable and assuring in our democratic process before we introduce a complicated element of ballot counting.”
Recall APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, also expressed same concerns last month when he met with a pre-election delegation of the Commonwealth Election Observation Mission in Abuja.
“Our concern is how ready we are to deploy some of these technologies as regards transmission, because we’re taking a major step in transmitting election results in real time,” Adamu said.
