We’ve Developed Robust Tracking Systems To Monitor Elections – INEC

Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has come out to say that no one will successfully rig election under his watch.

He recently revealed that INEC has developed robust tracking systems to monitor elections, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the legitimacy of electoral process can only be safeguarded if offenders are punished, so he’ll keep doing everything in his power to deal with offenders.

He added that no amount of violence or compromise of permanent staff or adhoc election result collation will rig any poll while he is in charge.

His words, “The legitimacy of electoral process can only be safeguarded if offenders are punished. l should say that those who desire or crave the honour of a king should not break the law of the land, otherwise they will forfeit public respect.”

“So, l agree with you that what happened today is a watershed development that will help to restore and reinforce public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process under the leadership Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and his committment to a sane electoral environment where attitudes are shaped and confidence established that the ballot remains the best means of expression of the will of the people as to who can assume position of authority to exercise power in a democracy.”

“You cannot rig election successfully under my watch with my team either through the use of violence or compromise of permanent staff or adhoc election result collation and Returning officers like this professor that had just been convicted by the court.”

“We have developed robust tracking systems of monitoring election day process with early warning triggers in our electoral operation support system, fully implemented here in Akwa lbom during the 2019 election that captured some of these serious.”
