The Senator representing Bauchi Central at the National Assembly, Abdul Ningi, has berated Nigerians, condemning the Senate over the electronic transmission of election results saga.
Ningi shared his reservations during an appearance on Channels Television on Monday, while addressing the ongoing debates over the e-transmission of election results following the passage of the Electoral Act amendment bill at the third reading in the Senate.
According to him, 98 per cent of the lawmakers support the electronic transmission of election results.
He stated that the Senate could make public the adoption of the votes and proceedings on the matter.
Asked during the interview whether it was possible for the voting process at the Senate to be made public so that Nigerians could know which senator voted for or against the real-time transmission of election results, Ningi said, “I think it’s possible. It depends on the presiding officer because the law provides that.
“You can stand up and say, ‘I, Ningi, I accept e-transmission in real time.’ I sit down. It’s recorded every other senator, and that is the only way we need to move forward.”
“One thing that is very important is that the votes and proceedings have not been captured. So tomorrow, we need to look at what the votes and proceedings captured are. Is it a transfer?
“There was a motion for amendment by Manguno, and then the question was put. Who asked the question? Why was the question raised?
“Was it discussed? It is important that when you bring a motion on something that you have no idea of, one of the reasons why maybe people are not so happy is that the Senate President should have asked us as a committee, ‘Please, educate us on this issue that this Moguna has raised.”
Ningi stated that the issue was not about one political party or the other.
“I’m here, and I’m telling you with all sense of responsibility that this is not a party thing. It has never been seen as a party thing up to the moment we went into the committee of the whole.
“If tomorrow the Senate President decides to say, ‘Is it transfer or transmission, and the gavel was sealed on transfer. They (the majority) have their way,” he said.
The federal lawmaker also expressed displeasure over what he described as the condemnation of the Senate “in its entirety” over the matter.
“I feel so sad and outraged myself when I see the condemnation across this country condemning the Senate in its entirety. And that’s why for us, we need to tell the story.
“And I can tell you 98 per cent of the senators are in agreement with the submission made by the House. I don’t know how they are trying to make it a party affair. I don’t think so.
“As I told you, APC governors have presented their submission, PDP…, and they are all saying e-transmission,” Ningi added. See more
