Very transparent election results declaration. UP INEC. All field problems not due to INEC but poor deployment of security personnel.Need for armed security personnel to accompany POs/SPOs to polling centres/points and guard them at Polling Units/Voting Points/Collation Centres in future elections. Technical problems with the card readers should be discussed with the manufacturers so that updates can be installed to correct them.
What did we say when these security personnel were deployed to keep the peace under PDP federal government? Is it being forgetful or sheer hypocrisy?
We will review and take appropriate action.
