<title>Senate’s Rejection of Real&#45;Time Results Transmission Threatens Electoral Transparency — Atiku</title>
<link>https://peacefmmaiduguri.ng/senates-rejection-of-real-time-results-transmission-threatens-electoral-transparency-atiku</link>
<guid>https://peacefmmaiduguri.ng/senates-rejection-of-real-time-results-transmission-threatens-electoral-transparency-atiku</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the Nigerian Senate’s decision to reject real-time electronic transmission of election results, describing it as a major setback for electoral transparency and democratic reform.

In a statement posted on his official X handle, Atiku said the action amounted to a deliberate assault on transparency and public trust in Nigeria’s electoral process.

He noted that while democracies around the world are strengthening their electoral systems through technology, Nigeria appears to be moving in the opposite direction by retaining what he described as an opaque system that allows manipulation and post-election disputes.

According to him, real-time electronic transmission of results is not a partisan issue but a democratic safeguard that reduces human interference, limits result manipulation, and ensures that votes cast at polling units are accurately reflected in final outcomes.

Atiku argued that rejecting the measure and retaining provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act that delay electronic transmission signals an unwillingness to subject elections to public scrutiny.

He further expressed concern that the decision raises questions about the commitment of the political leadership to conduct free, fair, and credible elections in 2027.

The former vice president added that reforms aimed at strengthening transparency are often resisted, while ambiguities that benefit incumbents are preserved.

Atiku called on Nigerians, civil society groups, the media, and the international community to take note of what he described as a regression in electoral reform and to continue advocating for a modern and credible electoral system.

He stressed that Nigeria deserves elections that are transparent, verifiable, and free from manipulation, warning that anything less would amount to an injustice to voters and a betrayal of democracy. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Borno State Acting Governor, Dr. Umar Usman Kadafur, has charged the twenty-seven newly inaugurated Local Government Chairmen in the state to prioritize security and grassroots development.
Dr. Kadafur gave the charge during the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected chairmen held at the Multi-Purpose Hall of Government House, Maiduguri.
Radio Nigeria Correspondent, Chiroma Ali Ibrahim, reports that the exercise marks the third time the administration of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum is conducting local government elections since its inception.
Addressing the new council bosses, the Acting Governor urged them to ensure accountability and transparency in governance. He also directed them to reside within their respective local government headquarters, warning against unnecessary travel or staying outside their areas of jurisdiction.
Dr. Kadafur further enjoined the chairmen to emulate the leadership style and developmental strides of Governor Zulum in order to achieve total transformation at the grassroots level. He also commended past local government chairmen for their contributions to the development of the state.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Sugun Mai Mele, described the inauguration as the beginning of a new era for local government administration in Borno State and urged the chairmen to justify the confidence reposed in them by the electorate.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, the Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Borno State Chapter, Alhaji Ali Bolori, expressed appreciation to the people for the mandate given to them, pledging to deliver on their campaign promises.
Alhaji Bolori also commended the Borno State House of Assembly for amending the law to extend the tenure of elected local government officials from two to three years, saying the extension would provide ample time to deliver dividends of democracy.
The highlight of the ceremony was the administration of the oaths of office and allegiance on the elected officials by Justice Haruna Mshelia, who represented the State Chief Judge. ]]></description>
