Senate Debate on Electronic Result Transmission: Who Dey Play Us?

My people, the political wahala for our obodo Naija no wan end o! E get as the matter dey hot for our Senate chamber regarding electronic transmission of election results. E be like say dem wan turn our electoral process to jungle. Wetin dey happen?

As politicians dey gather discuss, e don clear say dem no want make our votes count the way we go expect. Dem don make plans to play around the rules wey fit spoil everything. Senator Victor Umeh wey dey represent Anambra Central don shout say if National Assembly no fit code electronic transmission wey go show results real-time, na serious gbege we go face.

This matter no just be joke. E get as this thing dey touch the heart of democracy for this country. E be like say dem dey plot through hidden corners to shift the goalposts. Wetin go happen to all the promises wey dem don make? Last-last, na who go suffer am? Na we wey go carry our feet go vote.

The wahala begin when dem gather for closed-door meeting wey dem claim say dey don agree to allow electronic transmission. But when na public meeting come reach, dem turn am upside down and say na just ‘transfer’. This one no be am at all! E mean say we don go back to 2022 Electoral Act wey don show say transfer no be the same thing as electronic transmission.

Umeh don raise alarm say if we no wise up, this kind mistake fit happen again during the next elections. E don dey clear say many of our lawmakers still dey act like say dem no know wetin Nigerians want. Dem no go allow the tech wey fit save our democracy get full ground.

And as e dey hot like this, reactions don dey fly everywhere! People wey follow this issue dey vex well well. Many dey ask, why dem no want make we fit see our results as we cast am? Na who dey benefit from all this confusion?

For the whole Nigeria, the shadow wey dey loom be say if result transmission no clear, na only manipulation we go dey see. As election dey come, na trust we go need, not just technologies. If the average Naija citizen no fit believe say dem go count the votes well, wetin be the point of voting? E be like say dem wan drag us back to election days where everybody dey fear ah won’t even go near polling units.

We must remain vigilant! The fear many people don get wey dey shout for the amendment dey very legitimate. The technology dey there, the desire dey there, na to just use am properly be the problem. Nigeria don prove say we fit use technology well, but why dem dey get cold feet for election?

My people, make we shine our eye. E go better if we fit push for accountability. If dem no wan listen, we go dey raise our voices — loud and clear. Na our democracy we dey fight for, no be their private business!
