falling below the expectations<\/a> of Nigerians and stakeholders at home and abroad.<\/p>\nOsaze-Uzzi, in a live interview on Thursday\u2019s edition of Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today, addressed the \u201cfurore\u201d over glitches with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the upload of results to the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV).<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could not envisage a situation with the tension of the country. With the uncertainty and all that has happened in the last 10, 12 day, I don\u2019t think INEC could afford doing any wrong again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThings went awry last time around and confidence, I think, is at an all-time low. Some people may begin to get over it, but I think the vast majority of Nigerians are satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust is a fragile thing,\u201d Osaze-Uzzi stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cINEC conducted elections in 1998, 1999 \u2013 people just wanted to get rid of the military, it wasn\u2019t perfect but it was acceptable. In 2003, people were not happy. 2007 was the epoch of it all. Trust was next to zero,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Osaze-Uzzi however added that with the changes in personnel and reforms brought into place, trust began to build up, reaching a crescendo in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the time you brought more technology, by the time you conducted Osun, Edo, Ekiti, Ondo, and then they saw the way technology improved the process, Osun was picture-perfect. People [said], \u2018They could really do this.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cExpectations were now high and people were ready to forgive the sins of the past. I think at that time, INEC became one of the most trusted public institutions,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Additionally, the former INEC director faulted INEC for its prioritisation of timing above process in its conduct of the presidential elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a call to be made: Do you delay things and ensure you follow the process to the letter, even if it means delaying this thing for a week or whatever period of time?<\/p>\n
\u201cOr do you save time, save tension, just go ahead and bypass some of the processes laid down in your regulations? I think it took the former. This time around, I think process triumphed over timing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
