My people, see wetin dey happen for Naija politics as we dey waka enter 2027 election matter. Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar don come out for Minna, Niger State, yabs wey dey concern how dem fit run proper elections with all this wahala wey dey happen.
Atiku don shine him eye for the way dem dey mix electronic and manual transmission for elections. He talk am say na confusion wey this kind style dey bring for voters and electoral officials. Wetin he need be full electronic transmission wey go make everything clear like say dem dey chop fresh jollof for party. He want make all opposition parties join body and demand say make dem do am correct.
As Atiku dey gist, he no forget to chook mouth for the recent wahala wey happen for Senate concerning Clause 60(3) of the Electoral Act. He no gree say wetin dem do fit carry Naija go anywhere, as e bi compromise wey no dey reach am for him side. “All these manual backup no go help us at all, we need real-time electronic system, na wetin go make sense,” he yarn.
When dem ask am about 2027 presidential election, Atiku just dey smile. “Which kind question be this? I don dey come here before, na respect I dey pay for our own General IBB. I dey work for my party, African Democratic Congress (ADC) now. We dey build from ground up, from ward level to national level,” e talk.
He also don clear am say ADC no get zoning matter like PDP get am. Na only PDP get that one for their constitution, so people wey dey talk zoning for ADC make dem relax for corner.
As all these political gist dey happen, Senate don still dey find way to adjust their Electoral Act. Dem don agree say results go dey fit transmit electronically, but na only for places wey technology fit waka. Manual collation still dey there as backup in case some area no get good network. But dem no gree make electronic transmission mandatory and dem drop real-time upload of results. Na wetin we dey face for dis Naija wahala.
