The Peoples Democratic Party Youth Network has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to avoid subjecting Nigerians to another round of heartaches in the Bayelsa governorship election scheduled for November 11.
Oputin said that while the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Ofiong Efanga, jolted Bayelsans by saying that INEC would adopt manual transmission of election results, the Chairman, Prof Mahmud Yakubu, has come out to overrule him. Yakubu had said, penultimate Saturday, that the results of the November 11 governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states would be transmitted electronically.
The group leader noted that Nigerians have not forgotten how the same INEC under Yakubu abruptly opted to transmit the presidential election result manually after weeks of reassurances to Nigerians that the election would be transmitted electronically. Oputin also called on the Bayelsa REC, Efanga, to address the press on the disturbing conflict on the issue of the planned deployment of electronic transmission of results.
