Senate President Godswill Akpabio has defended the National Assembly’s decision to remove the requirement for mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results from the amended Electoral Act, insisting the move was deliberate and based on practical concerns.
Akpabio said lawmakers dropped the “real-time” provision during the clause-by-clause consideration of the bill to avoid potential legal complications that could arise from network failures during elections. According to him, making real-time transmission compulsory could open the floodgates to court cases if technical glitches occur.
He made the remarks at a book launch. Akpabio explained that the Senate’s intention was not to oppose electronic transmission itself, but to avoid rigid wording that could destabilize the electoral process.
He noted that the responsibility for determining how election results are transmitted should rest with the Independent National Electoral Commission, stressing that INEC is best placed to decide the most suitable mode of result transmission based on prevailing conditions.
