Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has criticised the Senate’s stance on the Electoral Act, claiming that including both manual and electronic transmission of results in the bill will cause further confusion.
Atiku stated on Tuesday after visiting ex-military President Ibrahim
Babangida alongside Oyo Seyi Makinde at his home in Minna, Niger State.
“Nigerians were expecting real-time electronic transfer to the various levels of the elections. But what we got is a mixture of electronic and manual transmission, which is going to cause more confusion or chaos,” the chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (APC) told reporters after the visit.
“At this point, this is not about me contesting elections. It is about Nigerians who want electronic transmission of election results,” he said.
