My people, you sabi wetin happen for Senate wey no fit stop to dey make us vex? E be like say dem don cast away any idea wey fit make our election results dey transmitted electronically. Na wah oh!
For Wednesday, dem wey hold the Senate meeting come reject one proposed amendment wey sabi reach everywhere. This amendment wan make sure say when dem dey count our votes, everybody go fit see the results real-time as dem dey happen. But instead, dem keep everything sharp, sharp as e be na, by no agreeing to make electronic transmission mandatory.
Abeg, make we talk about Senator Tahir Monguno from Borno wey push that matter. E be like say him no want change wetin dem don dey do. Dem gree to keep wetin we sabi as the Electoral Act 2022 wey dey say that presiding officer go just transfer results as Commission gree. Wetin be this na? Dem dey follow old-school, no be so?
This one no go help our democracy at all because if results no dey transmitted electronically, people fit get wahala to know the true matter of how we dey vote. Wetin go happen make people dey trust the process? Na wetin we dey ask here.
As we dey enter the election period, if dem no fit secure this amendment, as e be now, e fit even be like say dem dey take us back to the stone age. Wetin you fit talk about this wahala? Na so we go just dey follow old methods wey no dey work?
So make we dey watch as this matter dey unfold, cause e no go better if we no take action to sha. Na democracy we get! We go dey yarn more as e dey happen for this one.
