The chairman expressed doubt that the introduction of BVAS and other technology for the transmission of election results in real time would produce a fair and credible outcome in the 2023 elections.
He also raised the issue of BVAS batteries and network coverage in transmitting results to all parts of the country, saying that there is no network available in parts of Abuja.
He said, “First, I was privileged to serve as a senator. Our concern is how ready are we to deploy some of these technologies as regards transmission because we are taking a major step in transmitting election results in real-time.
“To transmit results to all parts of the country, I’m not sure that the network covers it; I know that even in parts of Abuja there is no network, and we have from now until February when in substantial parts of the country there is no electricity.

“INEC must assure us 100 percent that as of when they are due to transmit results, they are ready because they spoke about recharging batteries. But we heard in previous elections when it said it couldn’t recharge.”
