The Atiku Support Organisation says real-time electronic transmission of election results is 100 per cent possible in Nigeria, contrary to the position of the “transparent election-phobic All Progressives Congress-led Senate.”
In a statement on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. El Mo Victor, the group stated that, “With a 98% teledensity rate and over 80% MTN Nigeria 3G broadband coverage, real-time e-transmission of election results is 100% possible”
“The current figure, which the NCC technical team mischievously conceals to mislead Nigerians shows that the tele density rate in Nigeria as of May 2021 is 98 per cent.”
“It may display either of the following alphanumeric characters like 2G [G (GPRS), E (EDGE)], 3G, H, H+, 4G/LTE, etc for accessing the internet.
“In the Nigerian National Broadband Plan 2020-2025, which was signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on March 10, 2020, and Communication Minister, Dr Isa Pantami, the NCC stated indeed on page 16 of the document that Nigeria has achieved 74 per cent 3G coverage of the entire nation as of March 2020.
“This is contrary to the outdated 50 per cent misleading figure presented by the NCC and some Nigerian senators, like Senator Ali Ndume and others, who see electoral transparency as a threat.
“It is also revealing to note that on Monday, June 7th, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, stated during their annual general meeting that the company has achieved 80.4 per cent 3G broadband coverage of Nigeria in 2020.
“This is aside from Globacom Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, and Etisalat Nigeria 3G network coverage of areas not covered by MTN or other competing network providers.”
