- A Nigerian man criticized the Nigerian government for claiming it cannot transmit votes from polling units, contrasting this with reports that bandits can broadcast live from forests. His comments have sparked debate on electoral transparency.
A Nigerian man has raised concerns over Nigeria’s electoral system, questioning why votes cannot be transmitted from polling units despite modern technology.
In a social media post, Idris drew a sharp comparison between the activities of criminals and the management of elections in the country. He noted that while bandits are reportedly able to transmit and broadcast their victims live from forests, the Nigerian government claims it cannot transmit votes directly from polling units during elections.
“Bandits are transmitting and broadcasting their victims live from inside the forest. But the Nigerian government is telling me they cannot transmit my vote from my polling unit?” Idris tweeted, highlighting perceived inefficiencies and the need for electoral reform.
His statement has resonated with Nigerians online, sparking discussions about the integrity and modernization of the country’s voting and election result systems.
