yang:
This election will be annuled

It directly violates the section of the act that deals with direct transmission of polling unit results to inec servers

Iamgrey5:
In law we have what they call loopholes.

There's nothing stating that a machine should be used for transmission automatically or should be done manually.

The wording of that law is bogus.

chibrolex:
what do understand by the word transmission of results or recording.

Ahuitzotl:
[color=#1986BC][b] There's nothing bogus bro as the word "transmission" denotes a term for electronics else a simple wording like "send" would suffice if electronics wasn't involved. Then again, the smoking gun in the whole debacle was not getting the results directly from PUs on real-time instead manual collation.

Iamgrey5:
The word transmission has nothing to do with electronics sir.

Bring any dictionary

basilo102:

Very simple. I don't know why some people are supporting evil. Uploaded the polling units results and whoever loses will accept defeat. Look a polling unit result in Wike's local government yet he is writing results and we are all kept in the dark on how he arrived at the numbers

Keep your powder dry because you'll need it. Many of the declared figures will be annulled. Keep watching.

IGBOSON1:


You beat me to it! Thanks for lecturing the guy!

If they didn’t take TRANSMISSION to mean sending it electronically, they could also have used TRANSPORT, SEND (like you just said) or CARRY FOR HEAD!

We should ask him what comes to mind when he hears the word TRANSMITTER! He probably thinks it’s something medieval that has to do with using pen and paper, and a courier boy to ‘transmit’ messages!

There’s may yet prove to be a Pyrrhic victory!

It doesn't say transmitted electronically.....results were announced at PUs....then at ward level.....then at state level....then at national level......

Inec said they will use irev to transmit it...but then decided to transmit it manually.... no law was broken.. the idea that election must be annulled ir cancelled is evil.......anyone suggesting it hates you....I grew up under that condition and I can tell you those encouraging you will be the first to leave Nigeria cos they hold dual nationality....
