2023 election: INEC yet to assure us about BVAs

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has asserted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to guarantee the populace over the Voters Accreditation System (BVAs).

Tinubu stated this on Monday while speaking at Chatham House.

He said: “We are still building confidence in our democratic and voting system.

“INEC is yet to assure us that during this election electronic transmission, the technology to be used for accreditation and the total votes count is reliable, dependable and assuring in our democratic process before we introduce a complicated element of ballot counting.”

Last month during the meeting with a pre-election delegation of the Commonwealth Election Observation Mission in Abuja, APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, also expressed his concerns.
