Allow Party Agents To Monitor BVAS Usage – APC Chieftain
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state, Bola Ilori, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to allow party agents monitor the usage of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for capturing of voters.
Iiori, said the introduction of the BVAS has helped the accreditation and voting process.
Speaking with newsmen in Ondo town, the party chieftain said that the introduction of the BVAS has helped the accreditation and voting process.
“It has been a very peaceful election and we can see that the BVAS here is working perfectly. Though, we might not know for other places. But the introduction of BVAS has helped in the accreditation process.

“The era when somebody can come and use another person’s card seems to be over.
“I have any advice for INEC, the party agents should be allowed to monitor the BVAS to ensure that it ticks, because as it is now, whenever the person holding the BVAS shakes his or her head, you might not really know if the BVAS really reads or it doesn’t.
“There is no reason why INEC should say party agents should distance from the accreditation officer to affirm that things are correct.
“I think that will be the last leg in the chain of accreditation process that we’ve seen and I think once they do that, Nigeria will be cool, at least, at the accreditation level. What will be left will be collation and that is easier to track.
“Once there is no issue at the polling units, tracking other level is easy because the primary source is what is very important.
” Now, if the BVAS work correctly and the agents are sure, tracking every other level of the process will be easier but I think by and large, it is kudos to INEC.
“Besides, there is no issue of vote buying, we might not know what other things other people may be devising, but as for here where I voted, there is no money for anybody to give anybody, so, it is a cashless election.
“I am confident that my party, APC will win the election because we’ve done all we needed to do and we believe that people reward hardwork, it is obvious that our party worked best to convince Nigerians about this election.”
