Senator representing Okigwe zone (Imo North) in the National Assembly, Frank Ibezim has commented on his position concerning electronic voting transfer for election result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibezim said that considering level of technological developments in the country, there would be hitches if the electronic mode of transfer of results is adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, many communities and locations where votes are cast in Nigeria suffer network challenges hence application of the electronic system would be suicidal to elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Said he, \u201cwhen you check in some parts of the country, many still suffer network challenges till date . Therefore, if results are needed through electronic means and network not forthcoming, definitely the process will suffer serious challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Okigwe zone Senator further disclosed his position and that of others is for a better Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on his stewardship, Senator Ibezim said \u201cWith God on my side and the combined goodwili of our Governor and the Honourable Minister of state for Education, Barr Chukwuemeka Nwajuba, I was properly aligned and introduced to the Ahmed Lawan senate leadership, which I gave my all to sustain, to be able to secure some committee positions that have translated into lifeline achievements and dividends for my people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey include support of my colleagues to my motions and favourable resolutions arising therefrom, sponsorship of two bills, one at the second reading stage while the other has been listed on the order paper for presentation upon resumption this January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
