INEC needs to convince me about BVAS—Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for next year’s election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he has no idea what the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is up to with the Voters Accreditation System (BVAs). Tinubu who was speaking at the Chatham House in London said he needs to be convinced on the usefulness of BVAS in the 2023 presidential elections. “We are still building confidence in our democratic and voting system,” Tinubu said. “INEC is yet to assure us that during this election electronic transmission, the technology to be used for accreditation and the total votes count is reliable, dependable and assuring in our democratic process before we introduce a complicated element of ballot counting.”
