SaMBA, in a statement, yesterday, signed by its Spokesman, Rwang Pam (Jr.), insisted that electronic transmission of election results is the way to go, if Nigeria is serious about enduring democracy. It also warned the Senate not to subject powers of the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). “The transmission of election results by electronic means is the pathway to a trusted, valid, free and fair elections. However, it warned that failure to embrace the electronic transfer of election results would make Nigeria, especially the National Assembly, a laughingstock. “We, therefore, emphasize that the transmission of election results through electronic means is the pathway to trusted, valid, free and fair elections in Nigeria.”
