[UPDATED] Tinubu Declares To Run For President In 2023
FacebookTwitterWhatsapp

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has knocked the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for questioning the credibility of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and Results Viewing Portal.


Recall that Tinubu, while speaking on Monday at the Chattam House, said INEC had yet to assure Nigerians of the workability of the BVAS and e-transmission of poll results.


The former Lagos State governor said: “We are still building confidence in our democratic and voting system. INEC is yet to assure us (that) during this election that electronic transmission, the technology being used for accreditation and the total vote count, is reliable, dependable and assuring in our democratic process before we introduce a complicated element of ballot counting.”

BVAS Technology
Reacting to Tinubu’s comments, the Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of INEC, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi wondered why the APC presidential candidate would question the technology which had been used in several polls, including the off-season governorship elections in Ekiti, Osun, and Anambra states.

He told The PUNCH that the commission has been talking about the features, strengths and advantages of BVAS since 2020.

Oyekanmi stated, ‘’The Independent National Electoral Commission has been talking about the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, its features, strengths and advantages since 2020 when it was introduced to replace our beloved Smart Card Reader.

“At every quarterly meeting that the commission held with leaders of political parties since this BVAS was introduced, and I am talking about more than five meetings, it has always been on the agenda and discussed. My presumption is that both the national chairman and secretary of all the political parties that attend our meetings also brief their presidential candidates about the issues discussed.

‘’More importantly, we have conducted off-season governorship elections in Ekiti, Osun and Anambra states using the BVAS and all of these elections have generally been described and accepted as free, fair, credible, and inclusive by all and sundry. The governors elected have quietly been enjoying their respective tenures. Don’t forget that we also deployed it for the Federal Capital Territory area council election and it was a huge success.

‘’The BVAS has been trending on social media platforms and even foreigners visiting Nigeria for the first are asking: ‘What is this BVAS thing?’’

No Going Back
Speaking further, he dismissed speculations that INEC had dumped the usage of BVAS, stressing that there is no going back on the deployment of BVAS for the 2023 general election.

He added that, “Therefore, if at this moment in 2022, we still have a presidential candidate of one of the 18 registered political parties, saying he needs assurances on the BVAS or he doesn’t know or appreciate its relevance to the 2023 general election, then something is terribly wrong somewhere
