ECOWAS<\/a> Member States: Achievements, Challenges, Challenges and the Way Forward\u201d seeks to proffer solutions to electoral inconsistencies in Member States.<\/p>\nMe Jega, who superintended the process that ushered in the Buhari government in 2015, commended the passage of the bill by the National Assembly which now gives INEC power to transmit results electronically.<\/p>\n
He said it was a positive development ahead of 2023 elections.<\/p>\n
He stated that it was one of the legal frameworks that would guarantee credible elections in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt that Nigeria has the competence and capacity to deeply electronic transmission of result.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 2012, INEC has been piloting an electronic transmission of result system with robust software, with robust security, and they have piloted it in many elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy now that the National Assembly has agreed for this to be done and has created the legal framework<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the major areas where fraud takes place in the elections of Nigeria is in the transmission of results manually.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the polling units, to the ward level, to the constituency level, electronic transmission of result will wipe this out,\u201d Mr Jega said.<\/p>\n
Mr Jega also urged Nigerians to trust the new process, adding that \u201cit is wrong to assume that results will not be accurately transmitted without a 100 per cent network coverage\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said that even in developed countries, \u201cthey are sometimes confronted with the challenge of poor network, but once 70 per cent of results can be transmitted electronically, it is a pass\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is wrong to assume that if you cannot have 100 per cent coverage internet coverage then you cannot do electronic transmission of results, who says so?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can do it in 80 per cent of the polling units, or even 70 per cent, it is still an A and you will have eliminated fraud in 70 per cent or 80 per cent of the polling units in terms of transmission.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven in developed countries, there are still areas where you can have challenges of internet connectivity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to accept that in these modern times, we can use technology to improve the integrity of elections and it is the only way to go,\u201d Mr Jega added.<\/p>\n
Mr Jega also urged the National Assembly to review the draft bill that allows the trend of extreme monetisation of politics in Nigeria which allows only the rich to participate in politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are other things in the draft bill, for example, monetisation of politics, they have increased the threshold.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said to be a president, you can spend up to N2 billion in campaigns, to be a governor you can spend up to N1 billion, to be senator you can spend up to N500 million and this is extreme monetisation of politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are other provisions that the members of the National Assembly needs to consider and drastically reduce otherwise, or they will turn our democracy to plutocracy, which is government for the rich.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
