The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said at the weekend that it will not allow any political party access to its data base containing biometric information of all ed voters.

INEC National Commissioner, Information and Voter Education Barrister Festus Okoye stated this while speaking on Channels TV‘s politics today.

He said all the parties have already been given copies of of voters as well as their polling units in accordance with the provisions of the law.

Okoye also said that the Commission hopes to conclude reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) by Tuesday for deployment to the polling units.

He however said that any BVAS that fails to provide a backup system for the results of the Presidential and National Assembly election will not be reconfigured for the March 18 Governorship and Assembly elections.

While dismissing a backup plan for the IREV during the governorship election, Okoye said when there are challenges with upholding polling units results during the election, the ICT department is equipped to deal with such challenges.

On the controversy surrounding the posting of the Director ICT days before the election, Okoye said all istrative Secretaries of the Commission are Directors adding that decision was taken in the best interest of the nation.

He said the decision was taken at a time when the commission was panicky about whether there were going to be new Resident Electoral Commission while preparing for elections.

He said at that stage the Commission needed to post it’s best hands to serve as istrative Secretaries and manage the elections in the absence of the Resident Electoral Commissioners.

On the judgement directing the Commission to allow two individuals to vote with the Temporary Voters card, he said the commission has already filed an appeal as INEC is the only body allowed by law to determine what can be used for voting.

He said the slip given to the individuals during registration was to let know that they have been ed while the information the provided are being processed.

"The guilty are afraid" James Hadley Chase

Same Festus that vowed INEC would immediately transmit election results from Polling Units.
I don't take him serious again...

There is heavy tension in the air .
The new Nigeria is air born.
The revolution will be televised.

Crooks, they'll never have peace of mind though I don't listen to their blabbing any longer.

INEC is not credible
I don't believe anything INEC says again

Nonsense inec that stole the dreams of nigerians.

Don't worry, una time dey come

Election u can't conduct it free and fair.. court even ordered u to let the parties have access yet u are still the same... what are u guys hiding

Between The current INEC and Urchins, I don't know who amongst the two is more confused

The one that apc have the code and or which one

They shouldn’t give anyone access especially the desperate Obi Pandora.

Obi can cry from now till next year, I like as INEC no send him at all.

No one should have access to INEC server except INEC themselves. If the court believe the party should be given access, then INEC will have no choice than to comply.

You will not let any party access to your database even Appeal Court has said you should?

INEC is courting anarchy and I hope they will be ready for it when it arrives.

What goes around comes around.

Mark it.

Nothing goes around and come around. Step out of the delusion, Peter Obi lost the election fair and square.

I don’t know if you guys are under some hypnosis because it’s only chronic delusion that can make you believe Obi won the election and was rigged.

How exactly could he have won? Where is the number in the core North?

Few weeks ago I thought you guys are just trolling and irrational due to the pain of defeat. But it seems some of you truly believed Obi won that election, is this some sort of derangement syndrome?

You guys are so daft in reasoning. If you claim he lost fair and square, then why don't you allow him access to the server so he can see it for himself even lecturers allow students to see their graded exam sheet after marking so why is this one different.
Like PO said if you want to be called "Your excellency", you must go through an excellent way. Characters like you and Tinubu will find life hard in our new Nigeria.

INEC should allow individuals access to their database? I mean, INEC database? Do you even know what that means?

What is so special about the database?

And who told you that APC does not have access to it?

You are ing the ruination of your country's electoral process for whatever reason and you think it will not affect you?

You think tinubu knows you?

Okay o.

I thought you would have gotten a new job but you are still working as an Urchin with a Salary of 30k. Find a life because your current life is heading for destruction.

Daft is an understatement in trying to describe this guy's logic.

Didnt you and your likes celebrate it when Buhari and Emefiele disregarded the ruling of an even higher court against the cashless policy?
So why are you wailing now?

Their irregularities is hurting them.

Stop disgracing your lineage here.

Obi doesn't want access to INEC database.

What will he do with that?

He wants to access the raw information captured by BVAS on the day of election. This is something all parties are supposed to have access to by default.

If INEC had kept to their words of ing the results to iRev in real time, nobody would be dragging them into this mess.

The be ready for a revolution
