    Sowore: If We Can Send Money Electronically, We Can Transmit Election Results

    Published on

    Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said if Nigerians can send money electronically, same electronics could be used for the country’s elections.

    Sowore stated this on Wednesday on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’.

    He said he and other Nigerians joined the protest on Tuesday to tell the Senate that the BVAS machine would be able to take a shot of the result and transmit to the INEC portal.

    “Like I said, if you can use these electronic processes to send money to people and do other transactions that are confidential, why can’t we vote from our homes, instead of having to roam the world and vote and then at the end of the day, elections are not even credible, and you end up electing people who you didn’t vote for.

    “What we heard is that the provision for electronic transmission of results wasn’t made mandatory.

    “What led to most of us to join the barricades was for them to be very clear that this must be made mandatory. That those BVAS machines, which are in two modes, that’s why they call them bi-modal verification machines would be able to take a shot of the results and transmit to INEC portal,” Sowore said.
