He also announced the abolition of voting points in the country.

Nigeria had a total of 119, 973 polling units before the new creations.

What gives you the assurance that digital voting system can not be rigged?

Gerrymandering!
Were the political parties adequately and extensively consulted?
This is how election rigging is perfected!
The first step towards elections rigging is gerrymandering...
This very INEC boss is one smart crook! Maybe the smartest crook in this country...
Always using his quiet mien to wriggle out of all sorts of political holes he dug for the country..
