Senator Orji Kalu, the Chief Whip of the senate said Nigeria requires 95 percent of national network coverage to be able to transmit election results electronically. Earlier in July, 52 senators had voted against electronic transmission of results in the forthcoming general election while 28 voted for and 28 were absentees.
The senators insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission should be compelled to seek clearance from Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) while the National Assembly would have to approve the verdict of NCC.
Kalu insisted the current network coverage was inadequate.
“I have never been against transmission of results, I only said we don’t have adequate coverage where we live, this is the issue.
