 The 2023 general elections has come and gone, but reactions have followed the outcome, especially the 25 February presidential election which produced the president-elect Bolatino-Bull as Nigerian-ness leader. To this end, stakeholder democratic network, SDN, Independent National Electric Commission, INEC, and civil society in river states organized a roundtable discussion to review the outcome of the election exercise in the state. Participants at the SDN election review meeting said despite the efforts of stakeholders to ensure a credible election, widespread reports indicate that the election process had extensive challenges and irregularities. A number of those voters on the register are dead and we are still counting as our total number of registered voters. A number of them are not in Nigeria as we speak and of course I'm one of those that interrogate the level of voter turnout. I think it is supposed to be a function of the number of voters. It is important for us to understand that as leaders and as citizens in our society we must subject ourselves to scrutiny because if we fail to subject ourselves to such scrutiny then democracy will always have its own issues. The one idea behind scrutinizing processes and ways we do things actually brings out the best of our society. So we talk about why people are so frustrated about the last election. Two things, this is not the first failure. The failure has been and we're at a point in Nigeria where we cannot get it wrong anymore but at that point where we need a breakthrough and that is why the frustration now is higher more than ever and when it comes to and it's not done right we have another four years to go through what we have been going through. We're literally crawling at every opportunity to find air to breathe at this point. I'll be dependent on the INEC to help us find that little hole to get a little air to breathe as Nigerians. We didn't get that. Public affairs office of independent national electoral commission in river state Geraldine Ekeluma said election in the country is multi stakeholders event and is needed for every sector to be petrotic to have successful elections in the country. Geraldine while highlighting some of the lessons learned during the elections urged Nigerians to hold elected political office holders accountable for full legislative implementation of electronic voting system in future elections. We have taken note of the places where we made our mistake but there were issues of network down time that it is not INEC that controls that. There are issues of violence and violence, snatching and all that and security issues. It is not INEC also that are directly involved with that. We got out of staff from institution where the identity are not endowed and all to participate and also found that most of them compromise the system. Electronic voting is a legislative matter. So that's why I said hold the people who are representing you now accountable. Let them sponsor this bill but also ask yourself is Nigeria ready for electronic voting just to upload results without the challenges. What is also the guarantee that on that day there is a thought are created for you to vote and you're trying to log in with your phone in your house and something goes wrong. So are we ready? The people who controls the network providers are we ready? And don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
