During a related discussion on Channels Television, anchor Seun Okinbaloye asked Senate Spokesman, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (Ekiti), whether he was aware that many Nigerians were miffed by the Senate\u2019s refusal to heed calls for full mandatory electronic transmission.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding, Adaramodu dismissed claims of widespread discontent.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is not true. We are patriots who see beyond the immediate. We can&#8217;t stop protesters. The placards exist to be carried. The streets are there to be occupied. It is their rights to protest. What we have done is in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the spokesman\u2019s position, the issue has continued to generate intense debate across social and political platforms, with many Nigerians expressing disappointment in the current Senate.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dickson disclosed that after returning from mourning and attending the emergency session, he confronted members of the Senate leadership, who later brought a motion for rescission.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThey assured me that we would work on how to correct it, and, true to their words, they brought a motion for rescission,\u201d he said, noting that the motion was moved by Senate Chief Whip, Senator Tahir Monguno.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, he explained that the Senate version included a proviso validating results not electronically transmitted due to network failure in certain areas.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLet me be clear: INEC had told us that they have the capacity to transmit election results nationwide, and we believe them,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dickson described the outcome as a product of legislative negotiation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn parliament, you don\u2019t get all you want at the time you want. The parliamentary system involves lobbying, negotiations, consensus-building, and making incremental progress,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat happened today was not a loss to democracy; it was incremental progress. It was not what we fought for or prepared for, but it is still something we can work with while hoping to improve on it later.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clarifying the role of the INEC Result Viewing (IREV) portal, Dickson said: \u201cIREV was introduced to give Nigerians and the general public access to a transparent INEC portal, providing an indication of votes from the primary voting centres. It does not collate election results, nor is it proof of any election win, but it shows results in real time.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He emphasised that manipulation often occurs at collation centres rather than polling units.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhere results are changed and democracy faces its greatest assault is at the collation centres, the Ward Collation Centres and the Local Government Collation Centres,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, once polling unit results are uploaded in real time, candidates and parties can independently collate outcomes and detect discrepancies, limiting interference at higher collation levels.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although he disagreed with the proviso in the Senate version, he described network failure as an exception rather than the rule.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLaws are made for general rules, not exceptions. The proviso only addresses rare cases where there is network failure,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further stressed that electronic transmission was feasible nationwide.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAnywhere someone can make calls, send or receive money electronically, INEC can also upload and transmit election results electronically. This is not a decision Presiding Officers can make arbitrarily,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite his reservations, Dickson urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the democratic process.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis was the best we could get under the circumstances, and it is not too bad. It is something we can work with while hoping to improve on it later,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He concluded with a call to action: \u201cSensitise and mobilise. Don\u2019t give up on our democracy.\u201d<\/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 Oscar Okhifo Senator Henry Dickson, representing Bayelsa West, has expressed disappointment over the Senate\u2019s refusal to fully adopt the clause on mandatory electronic transmission of election results from polling&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":119670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125549","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 -
