Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has insisted it has the capacity to transmit election results electronically from remote areas across Nigeria.
Speaking on Channels Television breakfast show on Saturday, Mr Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee Chairman, said the Commission’s position was clear.
Okoye said: “We have uploaded results from very remote areas, even from areas where you have to use human carriers to access.
“So, we’ve made our own position very clear, that we have the capacity and we’ve the will to deepen the use of technology in the electoral process.
“But our powers are given by the constitution and the law, and we’ll continue to remain within the ambit and confines of the power granted to the commission by the constitution and the law.”
