El-Rufai Explains Absence from Protest Against Electronic Transmission of Election Results

Former Kaduna State Governor, El-Rufai, revealed in an interview that he did not participate in a protest led by Peter Obi and others against the electronic transmission of election results in Nigeria. El-Rufai expressed that the Senate's move to enable post-election manipulation in states was his primary concern.

He emphasized the importance of electronic transmission to prevent electoral manipulation at the collation stage. El-Rufai highlighted that although mandatory electronic transmission provisions had passed the House of Representatives, the Senate's alleged frustration led to concerns about manipulating election results to favor certain parties.
