The Federal Government has said that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will stand by the deployment of the Bimodal Voters’ Accreditation System for credible, fair and transparent elections in 2023.

This was disclosed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday, while delivering his goodwill message at the 2022 International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, with the theme, “Media, Civil Society and Violence-Free Election in Nigeria.”

Adesina was reacting to the recent alarm raised by some civil society organisations and the Spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties, Ikenga Ugochinyere, about plans by some political actors to remove the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, through the National Assembly and also deactivate BVAS from being used in the 2023 election and ultimately stop electronic transmission of results.

The SA said, “How many times has the President spoken about the role of technology in getting him into office? He has spoken about it locally and internationally that three times he contested and three times he ended up in the Supreme Court because the government of the day wrote the results and they never voted.


“He (Buhari) said until technology came and there was a permanent voter card, it was difficult to write results. So, how can the same person now have issues with BVAS?”

Adesina, however, told the media to trumpet Buhari’s assurance of a free, fair, and credible election and ignore those who want to cause confusion in the 2023 general election.


Meanwhile, while speaking at the same event, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), said that Buhari’s government was committed to ending undemocratic and uncultured activities in the country.

Malami renewed his call on those still involved in the electioneering process to appreciate the fact that political activities were to be observed by the provisions of the Electoral Law.

The AGF said, “It is important to note that recent developments in Nigeria have proved that the Federal Government has laudable initiatives to end impunity for crimes against Nigerian citizens.

“The Committee to Protect Journalists’ report says Nigeria was the only country to get off the index of nations with impunity for crimes against journalists in 2020.

Also, a special guest of honour and governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, who was represented by the Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Lawan Abdullahi, noted that “the peaceful outcome of the 2023 general election lies in the hands of the media.”

The Chairman of INEC, who was also represented by a National Commissioner, Mohammed Haruna, said, “We should remember that regardless of our profession, religion, or ethnicity, we are all the country’s stakeholders of peace and progress.

Agbado urchins are in tears right now

Hands must shake, legs must shake...

There is fire on the mountain.

Buhari na wicked producer...

Bubu the maradona.

Sudden change
There must be an up next

Best legacy from PMBs regime.
Deliver a credible free and fair election.
End to rigging and ballot snatching.
That alone will bring the right person to power.

The only good thing he plans to do!!

Sometimes I wondered why the oppositions are not giving this man (Buhari) the credit/applause he deserved most especially in this spectacular electoral reform.

This renewed hope,motivation & confidence we have about the 2023 general election is credit to the political will of this present administration to improve on the electoral reform.

I know if it were in the era of the PDP we would have concluded or easily forecast the outcome of the result by now.

I think one of the greatest achievement of the Buhari-led administration is the political will to pass & implement the electoral reform act.

In a free and fair election, it is finished for tinubu and his jobless urrchins.

Nice one from Buhari

Good

Next story please

It's true

Better

I have never liked this APC government but if for anything, this is one of the few things Buhari administration got right

Let the voice of the masses be loud and clear, let the electorates be the political judges of politicians

No more taking ballots paper to one small Bush and thumb printing endlessly

The only problem is vote buying

We already know who was fighting against it before, and once it’s free and fair election Peter Obi emerge as President of Nigeria

Gbam

Better
It will surely favour BAT

BVA means

Bola Tinubu
Vs
Atiku Abubakar

Both
Voted
Against

Vote wisely
Vote Peter Obi

Okay

Tinubu said he single handedly made Buhari the president,..Now is the time for him to make himself the president.
Military men don't forgive easily.

Jungle don mature.

Some people will not like this at all. Vote buying is not a guarantee that they will vote for your candidate. Even voter suppression and intimidation will not work. The people are woke.

Ckonnet:
The only good thing he plans to do!!

Agbado is pushing otherwise. The only hope of agbado master is massive rigging. I am sure by now he will be begging buhari to allow him rig this election

Politrickians are jittery

Rigging now difficult

Votes will now count

Choose wisely bros n sis

Our future depends on it

Ckonnet:
The only good thing he plans to do!!

Understand that for almost eight years he and his cohorts have registered voters in Niger Republic and had a field day amending the voters register for the purpose of skewing the data to their advantage.
Don't believe they are going to play fair.
Don't put any hope in the electoral system.

.

Tinubu will not like this news at all.

Buhari will not hand over to Tinubu. Same way Babangida refuse MKO Abiola.

The terror attack is not now. If Tinubu wins, North will take back power either through d military or declare the election inconclusive.

Tinubu pick Shetima so that his boys will strike if things is not going their way.
Moreover, FG is using ISWAP to clear Shetima boys before election.

Whatever happens, North will retain d presidency come 2023.

FFK, Femi Adeshina, Festus Kayamo Will soon go into political Extinction

buhari the only legacy
you have that Nigerians will use
to remember your days in government
as one of the best presidents
