The Senate committed a COUP against our Democracy and the Nigerian people yesterday. Let me again remind the Senators that it is not wise to play with fire. It simply is not wise. Transparency is always better. My fellow Citizens, let nobody deceive or confuse you. What all well-meaning Nigerians want passed by the National Assembly @nassnigeria - @SenateNGR and @HouseNGR as @inecnigeria Reform is a Bill which legally mandates electronic transmission of polling units results in real time and without any CONDITIONS attached. What we want is what the members of the House of Representatives have already passed with this simple and HONEST text: “Clause 60(3): “INEC shall electronically transmit election results from polling units to the INEC Result Viewing Portal in real time and such transmission shall be done simultaneously with the physical collation of results.” Period! No ifs, no buts, no whataboutism and no provisos. The proviso below that the Senate added to Clause60(3) : “If electronic transmission fails or becomes impossible to use, the signed Form EC8A shall be the primary source of election results” IS A GRAVE DANGER TO OUR DEMOCRACY. It will permanently damage the same Transparency that we as Citizens are demanding for in all our Election Results. Your vote and mine CAN NEVER COUNT with such deceptive and ill-intended proviso by the Senate. The Senators know what they are doing. They simply don’t want TRANSPARENCY. Transparency through electronic transmission of results in real time at each polling unit will END their opportunity to RIG our elections. Fellow Nigerians, know this for real, @SenateNGR is determined to hijack Nigeria’s Democracy and continue with their Bad Governance that is perpetuating Poverty among Nigerians and killings across our Land. We, the Citizens of Nigeria and not politicians are the REAL OWNERS of Democracy. We must collectively stand to defend our rights to TRANSPARENCY. Our Girls Guide motto when we were in Secondary School is: Be Prepared. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
