This was disclosed by the Minister of information, Lai Mohamed, on Saturday in his home town, Oro, near Ilorin Kwara, where he spoke to newsmen after casting his vote.
He said that with BVAS, it is now impossible for anyone to vote twice due to biometrics and facial capturing.
The improvement: Mohammed stated that what he observed both in the February 25 and today’s elections, has been a remarkable improvement in the performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
The challenges: He added the electoral law does not recognise electronic voting while the decision. He added that the federal high court in Abuja gave INEC the power to determine the manner it collates and transmits election results, citing he was happy that some of the aggrieved parties in the concluded elections had approached the court to ventilate their grievances.
The minister said the activities of some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) had also been very unhelpful because many of them came out to unjustifiably discredit INEC and set one ethnicity and religion against the other, adding:
