Former Sokoto Deputy Governor Warns Nigerians Not Ready for Real-Time Election Results Transmission

Former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Mukhtar Shagari, cautioned that Nigeria is not ready for real-time transmission of election results. He emphasized the importance of ensuring a perfect electoral process before implementing such technology.

Shagari's warning follows the Senate's rejection of a proposal to mandate electronic transmission of election results. He acknowledged the challenges faced in Nigeria's electoral system, citing similar issues experienced even in established democracies like America.

Shagari highlighted the need to address these challenges before rushing into real-time transmission of election results.
