2023: APC putting pressure on INEC chairman to suspend BVAS – Galadima
Buba Galadima, a former member of the board of trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, is under extreme pressure to tamper with the Electoral Act.
Speaking on Thursday night in an interview on Channels Television, monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA, Galadima alleged that there are attempts to stop the use of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) for the conduct of the forthcoming General Elections.
“There is a lot of room for concern, that INEC, for example, to come out and say, look, the INEC Chairman is not being removed, there is a lot to it that most media and journalists do not know,” Galadima said.
“INEC Chairman is under extensive pressure to tamper with the electoral act because the ruling party wanted to table an issue before the National Assembly, such that they will force the Chairman to write to the National Assembly that it should not be compelling on INEC to use the BVAS machine.
“This is an unpatriotic step elements in the ruling party are trying to do.”
