An Anglican priest, Reverend Maxwell Onyia, has decried the “ineffective” deployment of technology in the conduct of the general elections in Nigeria.
Onyia made the remark on Sunday while delivering his homily at the Anglican Church of Ascension in Enugu State.
He said that in other nations of the world, including some African countries, technology had become an integral part of the electoral process. He said, “In most advanced countries, you vote seamlessly in an open place and it is transferred immediately through technology to a central server, where the votes are sorted, collated and final figures given within few hours.
Speaking on the theme of the homily, “Deliverance from sin,” the cleric said that from creation, God was concerned about people living a life devoid of all forms of evil and wickedness.
