The Action Alliance(AA) yesterday condemned the 9th Senate for standing against electronic transmission of election results , saying it is an anti-people decision and will cost most of the senators who voted against the reform their seats come 2023 general election.
The party national chairman, Hon Adekunle Rufia Omeaje made this assertion in Benin City, Edo State, while receiving a new member, Engr Solomon-David Okanigbuan, who wants to contest the 2023 presidential election under the platform of the party.
Recall that Senators, mostly from the All Progressive Congress(APC) voted against the transmission of election results electronically last week, while senators from the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP) voted in favour of the reform, making “for or against” a seemingly party affairs.
Hon Omeaje said the party held a press conference in Abuja, where it condemned the action of the senators, because the decision was anti-people and will rob many of the senators of their seats come 2023.
“The Senators who voted against the reform did so because of greed and fear of failure and because of what they have done, most of them will not make it back to the National Assembly.”
“If our children have been writing exams like JAMB, WASSCE, and NECO, and the results were transmitted electronically, why can’t our election results be transmitted electronically?”
“What is so special about transmitting election results that we have not done before. I washere during the gubernatorial election in Edo State, election results were transmitted electronically. “
“The Independent National Election Commission should be allowed to be truly independent, Prof Momudu Yakubu wants to do the right thing, the commission should be given total independence.”
He urged journalists and Nigerians to rally around and resist the satanic decision by the Nigerian senate.
Speaking, the Edo State Chairman of Action Alliance, Engr.Isreal Iyobosa Goubadia said Nigerians have seen our elders rule in the past ,but the result had not been the best, therefore the clamour for youths and women,saying that Nigerians want to see how things will turn out.
