A Professor of Medicine and Family Health and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC Prof. Rukevwe Akpedeye Ugwumba has described the introduction of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, (BVAS) by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, will put an end to rigging and manipulation of elections in Nigeria.
According to Ugwumba, “The 2023 general elections would be a symbol of stability unlike before when the strongest person will go with the votes but now it will be one man one vote.
Fielding questions from Journalists in Ughelli, Delta state, she expressed optimism that with BVAS, conducting elections in Nigeria will be encouraging.
She said, “Winning the governorship elections in Delta state, Dr Ugwumba held that the APC candidate, my principal, being the number 5 person in Nigeria knows how the elections are being conducted.
He is strong and focus and one good thing is that, ones the votes are uploaded, they cannot be manipulated as the machines are all computerized.
“Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has extends his representation beyond Delta central by turning the whole state around with one project or the other and when he becomes the governor, Delta state would be like Lagos.
“And at the national level, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will bring his experience to reshape the country, he did it as a governor in lagos when he turned the economy around for better.
“On Delta state election, she said, we usually have river votes, sokoto votes were just votes that people did not get to the polling units to cast and before you know it, results will come.
“I am very excited for Nigerians on the new ways of doing elections because finally elections will now be free and fair. We have now decided that when you come out this time you are going to see the results.
“Now with the BVAS machine will verify you, using your thump print or eyeris almost like going through an international airports, even if someone collect your PVC, you have to be verified by the machine.
“It is just funny to me when i heard that one of the parties collected sacks of PVCs to disenfranchised the people because, they cannot be used.
“With the BVAS machine, it is going to be true democratic process that we have never seen before, and with the power bestowed on INEC now, if you do anyhow, you see anyhow as the unit election might be cancel because the machine cannot be influenced.
