2027: No proof of glitch – Why nobody should trust INEC – Sam Amadi 

Former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Sam Amadi, has said that nobody should trust the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s system for voter registration.

Amadi made the assertion on Friday when he featured in an interview on News Central Television.

He was reacting to the failure of INEC to electronically transmit election results, which he said would have made the exercise transparent.

“With all the issues around BVAS malfunctioning, which many people think was internal sabotage by INEC itself not to transmit the election result, do you expect the first item on the agenda of any opposition political party would be to subject INEC to an independent forensic audit.

“Nobody should trust INEC’s voter register. It is actually a less dangerous position than having a system that is being breached.

“First, there was an election. INEC test-ran their systems and expressed their readiness to electronically transmit the election result. On the day of the election, INEC failed and said there was a glitch, but no evidence or proof of the glitch.
