Rotimi Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State, on Tuesday morning participated in a protest at the National Assembly against the Senate’s rejection of mandatory electronic transmission of election results.
Naija News reports that Amaechi, who attended the protest with his son – a medical doctor – said he brought him along in case the demonstration turns violent and injuries are sustained.
He explained that he came with his son to demonstrate his belief that during major protests, leaders should be at the forefront with their families.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain called on Nigerians to rise up, adding that all opposition parties ought to be on the streets to protest the Senate’s decision.
Amaechi alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is opposed to electronic transmission of election results because it fears losing elections.
He questioned why the party would be afraid, despite having several opposition governors and prominent politicians defecting to its ranks.
He further stated that while Senate President Godswill Akpabio and President Bola Tinubu may ignore the demands of Nigerians, opposition parties and civil society organisations would persist until the decision is reversed.
Naija News reports that the protest was to demand the electronic transmission of results in future elections.
The protesters are calling for the approval of real-time electronic transmission of election results from polling units, a key provision in the Electoral Amendment Bill currently under consideration.
The protesters drew attention as they chanted and displayed solidarity in support of electoral transparency and credibility.
Security operatives were deployed to maintain order around the area.
Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps and other paramilitary agencies stationed patrol vans at strategic points around the National Assembly complex, while officers monitored the situation to prevent any breakdown of law and order. See more
