Amid the amendment of the Electoral Act on Tuesday, spokesman of the Senate, Yemi Adaramodu, has said lawmakers painstakingly worked for the best interest of Nigerians.
Adaramodu made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senate on Tuesday amended the Electoral Act, allowing for the electronic transmission of results, but made provision for technical issues that may arise in the course of elections.
That decision was a reversal of the lawmakers’ earlier stance, in which the Senate rejected the compulsory electronic transmission of results from polling units to the Result Viewing Portal (IREV) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Reacting, the Senate spokesman said, “It must be so painstakingly done that the flaws must not be so latent to the extent that it can repudiate whatever good trust that Nigerians will have in our system.
“Anyone who loves Nigeria will know that what we have done Today is the best for Nigeria.”
