Maybe Nigerians should question our broadband: How technical are we today? How technical will we be tomorrow to answer the call, either for real-time electronic transmission or not?

The president understands how everything works. See the way he breaks it down into details. He has done his political homework. No panic, no jittery, no pressure.

That is our president My president till 2031 if you are not ok with that hug transformer

This is a very important wake-up call 🇳🇬⚡️ Before shouting “real-time transmission”, we must first ask the hard questions: Do we have the infrastructure? The security? The technical capacity? President Bola Tinubu is right — technology without strong broadband, cybersecurity, and national preparedness is a recipe for chaos, glitches, and manipulation. Free, fair, and credible elections don’t come from slogans — they come from systems that actually work. Fix the foundation first, then scale the tech. 💻🗳️

Manual voting is the best way to go.

We have Starlink in the trenches, 5G in the cities, and a ₦58 trillion budget for 2026. If we can't technically upload a photo of a result sheet in real time, it's not because the broadband is weak—it's because the transparency is too strong for the APC's comfort.

Why not try to address the technical challenges instead of hiding behind them??

So, Tinubu is aware of hackers , good one baami

The president spoke very well! 👏🇳🇬

This baba is too smart for them not even that chatterbus Igini Mike who doesn't know anything but so loud about it

President Tinubu is right reliable tech and strong cybersecurity are no longer optional. Real time election transmission can only work if our systems are ready and secure ⚡🇳🇬

How technical were we in 2015 when they were demanding it?

President admitting hacking in his own country🤔Kai it's unfortunate 🤷

This guy think say we be mùmù lol

Words from the President himself 👌

Maybe the government needs to do more to provide more telecommunications infrastructure. Maybe more investment in Telco would solve some of these glitches. Just maybe

President Tinubu head is still very young and sound. The man needs to take his flowers for this.

Then what have you been doing for 3 years that you can't provide common technology infrastructure

A formidably deep thinker not given to emotional excitement.

How will you say the hacking? You mean with all the money INEC cannot secure her data base?

Why do APC fear this E-transmission with their 30 governors? With due respect sir, it is disgraceful to say we should question the broadband. You are fix it, if you think there’s a problem with the broadband penetration

If Nigerians shld question the broadband then what's his job? Ooh, I forgot he's just a visitor sha....

@officialABAT Is A Cr👀k And A Li@r So Too @SenGodswill

Years into his term, with billions budgeted for digital economy and infrastructure, suddenly Nigeria's tech capacity is too fragile for mandatory real-time IReV uploads? Yet the law now permits manual fallbacks precisely where glitches or "hacking risks" can be conveniently invoked to justify alterations at collation centers. This isn't foresight; it's preserving escape hatches for the same old rigging playbook while pretending to worry about connectivity. If broadband were the real issue, the priority would have been aggressive nationwide rollout, not diluting the 2022 reforms that opposition and civil society fought for. Actions speak louder: sign the optional version, then blame the pipes. Nigerians aren't buying it.

Look at what City Boy is saying in 2026.

Of our dream? The real question is, whose dream is it, the majority’s or the minority’s?

We need strong tech and secure systems elections depend on it 🇳🇬💻

A failure at its peak!

The world is laughing at us right now 😅

See foolish master strategist

They want electronic transmission so they can easily rig the election. We also that London video in the past election where some criminals are declaring that they'll rig it for one candidate in as much as the results are electronically transmitted

Shege barawo 🤣
