SENATE PRESIDENT GODSWILL AKPABIO HAS DEFENDED THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY’S DECISION TO REMOVE THE PROVISION THAT WOULD HAVE MADE REAL-TIME ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF ELECTION RESULTS MANDATORY.(PHOTO).


 Senate President Godswill Akpabio has defended the National Assembly’s decision to remove the provision that would have made real-time electronic transmission of election results mandatory.


Speaking at the launch of former senator Effiong Bob’s book, “The Burdens of Legislators in Nigeria”, Akpabio cited insecurity and poor network coverage in several states as key reasons for the move. He explained that in at least nine states, unreliable networks could lead to invalid results if e-transmission were enforced nationwide.


Akpabio emphasized that the legislature only makes laws, while INEC is responsible for elections and deploying technology. He added that critics, including opposition parties and some commentators, misunderstand the lawmaking process.


He stated:

“The Senate does not conduct elections, we don’t deploy technology, we only make laws. INEC must apply the law… The timing, scope, and modality rest with INEC.”


The decision has sparked debate, with critics arguing that electronic transmission is vital for transparency and credibility in Nigeria’s elections.
