Shehu Sani: E-Transmission Alone Won't Ensure Fair Elections

Shehu Sani, a former Senator representing Kaduna Central, articulated his concerns regarding the efficacy of electronic transmission of election results in ensuring free and fair elections. He made these assertions on a television program aired on Wednesday, following the Senate's decision on Tuesday to approve the electronic transmission of election results while retaining manual collation as a backup method.

Sani argued that despite the advancements in technology, the possibility of rigging remains a significant concern, suggesting that electronic transmission alone cannot eliminate electoral malpractice. His comments reflect ongoing debates about the integrity of the electoral process in Nigeria, particularly in light of recent legislative changes.
