A member of the House of Representatives from Ekiti State, Hon. Femi Bamisile, has tasked the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on aggressive
spread of telecommunication networks across the country to accommodate electronic voting in the 2027 general elections.
The lawmaker, representing Gbonyin/Emure/Ekiti East Federal Constituency of Ekiti State, said these in Ado Ekiti, while distributing free petrol to 1,000 commercial motorcycle operators popularly called okada riders in the state capital. “It is the best option for Nigeria,but a situation where only 50 percent of our voting population have access to a network makes it impracticable now. About 37m of our voting population will be shut out of the electoral system.
Speaking about his humanitarian service to the people, Bamisile, said a total of 1,000 Okada riders received free petrol in the first phase of the programme.
