2023: INEC Chairman Being Pressured Against Electronic Transmission Of Results — Galadima

Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been accused by Buba Galadima of pressurizing the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu to tamper with the Electoral Law ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Galadima, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), added that the APC chieftains want Yakubu to avoid the election results’ electronic upload.

While speaking on Channels TV, he said the INEC Chairman is being told not to use the Bimodal Voter Registration System, (BVAS) for the transmission of results in 2023.

Galadima called on President Muhammadu Buhari to be mindful of the APC leaders attempting to smear his image after his tenure ends.

“INEC chairman is under extensive pressure to tamper with the Electoral Act because the ruling party wanted to table an issue before the National Assembly such that they will force the Chairman to write to National Assembly that it should not be compelling INEC to use the BVAS machine and this is the greatest disservice and an unpatriotic thing some elements in the ruling party are trying to put forward.

“They want to amend the Electoral Act, therefore, I want the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to take note of some bad elements that want to smear his image when he leaves office”, he stated.
