It is quite unfortunate to see some lawmakers in the National Assembly of Nigeria opposing and voting against electronic voting and electronic transmission of results. Some of these lawmakers cited network issues as an obstacle. In the advanced world, there are issues with networks, but they practise electronic voting and electronic transmission of results. In Nigeria’s situation, it is a problem that can be sorted out if the federal government of Nigeria sincerely wants the best for the people of the country. At this point, it will not be necessary for lawmakers at the National Assembly of Nigeria to keep on lamenting without finding a solution to them. Not too long ago, a Viewers Corner News correspondent in Abuja gathered that the government of Nigeria allegedly budgeted about 4.8 billion Naira to start monitoring WhatsApp and other social media outfits in the country. If the government of Nigeria can budget such a huge amount of money, which most Nigerians both at home and abroad believe is a waste of money for such a project, then the same government should also create facilities that can make network service available to the people of the country so that voting and transmission of election results can be carried out properly. The government of Nigeria should provide electricity to all the people of Nigeria, which is at the moment lacking in the country.
Electronic voting and electronic transmission of election results in Nigeria will end rigging by dubious politicians in the country who want power by all means. The truth still remains that no process in life comes easily. It is a situation where everyone in Nigeria should join hands to make it work by getting started with electronic voting and electronic transmission of election results. Then correct your mistakes as you move along, which shall bring perfection in the long run. Again, electronic voting and electronic transmission of election results are beautiful processes that will yield great results in the long run if properly managed.
