Nigerian media entrepreneur and Allied Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has commented on the Senate’s recent adjustment to its earlier position on the electronic transmission of election results.
The Senate, which initially resisted real-time electronic transmission, has now approved the process but without real-time reporting.
Speaking on News Central TV on Wednesday, Momodu expressed little surprise at the development. “I don’t think any Nigerian is surprised about what happened and what is going to happen. It is obvious that the ruling government knows that the numbers are not adding up and it is not likely to add up as they continue to impoverish Nigerians as such,” he said.
Momodu further suggested that the government may be seeking alternative measures to achieve its desired outcomes. “They have to resort to what we call DIY, do-it-yourself. They have to find a way to make sure they can add up the numbers and then get what they want. They’ve always done that,” he stated.
Reflecting on the political climate, the ADC chieftain highlighted growing public awareness and resistance. “I think what I saw in the last couple of days convinced me that Nigerians are really warming up for a big fight.
It’s not going to be easy for the ruling government to get away with it. They’ve always gotten away with it, but I think Nigerians are too desperate now to accept such rascality from the ruling government,” Momodu added.
