So it should continue,\u201d Akpabio ruled.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">As debate continued, Monguno explained that public anger stemmed from the earlier replacement of the word \u201ctransmission\u201d with \u201ctransfer\u201d in the clause, a change many Nigerians feared could open loopholes for manipulation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, the new amendment was designed to eliminate ambiguity and rebuild confidence in the electoral system.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Senate, being an embodiment of the representative will of the people, will always act in consonance with the wishes and aspirations of the people,\u201d he said. \u201cThis amendment is to ensure that our laws reflect those wishes and aspirations.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The revised clause now explicitly provides that presiding officers at polling units \u201cshall electronically transmit the results from each polling unit to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal\u201d after Form EC8A is signed and stamped.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It further provides that where electronic transmission fails due to network or communication challenges, the signed result sheet will serve as the primary basis for collation and declaration.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the clarification, tension persisted as several senators questioned whether the controversial wording had even been properly captured by the Clerk during the previous sitting.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senator Abass Aminu (APC, Kebbi Central), who seconded the motion, described the development as \u201cthe beauty of democracy,\u201d insisting the Senate had the right to correct itself in the public interest.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the motion was put to a voice vote, the \u201cAyes\u201d prevailed, but drama followed immediately.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) rose under Order 72 to challenge the ruling as the House demanded a division for a formal vote that would have required individual senators to be recorded.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The move heightened anxiety in the chamber, but moments later, Abaribe withdrew the request, allowing the voice vote decision to stand.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attempts by Senator Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe Central) to make a personal explanation were also ruled out of order for failing to meet procedural requirements.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the immediate dispute contained, the Senate turned to the harmonisation process with the House of Representatives, expanding its Conference Committee on the Electoral Bill from nine to twelve members to ensure parity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senator Simon Bako Lalong was appointed chairman, alongside Senators Monguno, Abubakar Kyari, Abass Aminu, Tokunbo Abiru, Adeniyi Adegbomire (SAN), Jibril Isa Ochacho, Banigo Ipalibo and Nwebonyi.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Sen. Akpabio expressed hope that the committee would conclude its work quickly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf you are able to conclude within the next few days or one week, the President should be able to sign this amended Electoral Bill within this month.\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 2022 Electoral Act introduced mandatory electronic transmission of polling unit results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), a reform widely credited with boosting transparency and reducing manipulation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent alterations in the new Electoral Act Bill particularly the controversial wording of Clause 60(3) triggered fears that lawmakers were rolling back those gains, sparking protests and criticism across the country.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tuesday\u2019s dramatic plenary highlights both the political sensitivity of electoral reforms and the intense public scrutiny facing the National Assembly.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi The Senate was thrown into intense procedural wrangling on Tuesday as lawmakers held an emergency plenary to reverse a controversial provision in the Electoral Act Repeal and&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":122854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
