The Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, a civil society organisation , says the poor handling of the bimodal voter registration system by ad hoc officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission caused problems in the Osun governorship election.
But Gboyega Oyetola, former Osun governor, and the All Progressives Congress claimed that there was overvoting in 749 polling units across 10 LGAs of the state. “The real failure in the Osun election was not BVAS. It was the personnel that managed the BVAS. As a matter of fact there was no overvoting in Osun in the typical sense. What happened in Osun with a very costly oversight of presiding officers, supervisory presiding officers and INEC officers,” he said.
“Even when the losers in the election demanded for the report of the BVAS relevant INEC officials should have ensured that the full report was sent or if there was extreme urgency they would have accompanied with a letter to indicate its interim nature.
