Lagos PDP Spokesman, Taofik Gani recently revealed this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, it is the duty of the electoral commission to concentrate on directing its efforts at achieving robust electoral reform that would make the votes of Nigerians count 3 years from now.
He added that the issues of INEC and acceptable election processes are beyond polling units, therefore creating more units will not solve anything.
His words, “The issues of INEC and acceptable election processes are beyond polling units. Creating 100 PUs on a street won’t change the integrity problem in our elections.”
“Why can’t we have electronic voting linked to voters’ ID and the election can be done online.”
