The new INEC resident electoral commissioner, REC, for Osun State, Mutiu Agboke, has said that days of election rigging are over.
Agboke stated this when he spoke to the staff of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Saturday in Osogbo, Osun State.
The INEC REC said it has become impossible for people to manipulate the electoral process in Nigeria, especially with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS.
Commenting on BVAS technology, he said it has “technically murdered” all forms of election rigging in the country.
Agboke added, “My responsibility is to uphold the value of INEC, and the value of INEC is to ensure that the people’s vote count in the election that will be conducted.

“I want to assure the electorate in the state that we will not disallow them from getting the fruit of the votes, and the fruit of their votes is to vote in a direction, and get result in that direction.
“The era of rigging is gone. Rigging has been technically murdered by our process and procedure, and that is what BVAS has come to achieve.
“So, in the 2023 election, INEC will ensure that the vote of people of Osun is recognised, and not only recognised, but also reflect the desire of the people of Osun.
“Nobody will be deprived of his right to cast his or her vote, and the commission will do the needful at all times.”
