Technology can’t end electoral flaws – Former INEC Chair, Yakubu


The immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, says technology cannot end the flaws that continue to undermine the credibility of Nigeria’s elections.


Prof Yakubu stated this in a newly released book titled, ‘Election Management in Nigeria: 2015–2025′.


DAILY POST reports that the 200-page publication gives a comprehensive account of INEC’s operations, achievements, and setbacks during Yakubu’s two-term tenure, which began in 2015.


The former INEC chairman, while describing the book as the first, most comprehensive record of the milestones, lessons and challenges of his two-term tenure, reflected on a decade he called one of the most significant in the history of election management in Nigeria.


He also acknowledged the limitations of technology, noting that while it had advanced the process, it was not a panacea.


“The decade between 2015 – 2025 has been one of the most momentous in the history of the management of elections in Nigeria.


“There have been several milestones, many challenges and useful lessons in the conduct of elections and the management of the process within this period.


“Additionally, technical challenges with equipment and connectivity failures have sometimes hindered the smooth conduct of elections,” he said.


According to him, in response to the challenges, INEC undertook a series of reforms, including intensified voter education, training for electoral officials, and closer collaboration with security agencies to ensure the safety of voters and personnel.


He noted that policies were also developed to guide the deployment of electoral technology.


Looking ahead, Yakubu stressed the need for continued reform and vigilance.
