The deputy governor of Lagos State, Olufemi Hamzat, has said that “public commentators are only talking about an already won election” adding that they were “not saying the truth” about the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System.
Hamzat said this on Monday at the Lateef Jakande Annual Memorial Lecture organised by the Nigerian Guild of Editors, where he represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Hamzat spoke concerning the aftermaths of the 2023 elections and the use of BVAS by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The deputy governor noted that voting was not done on the BVAS machine but on ballot papers adding that the controversy around the use of BVAS to transmit election results was not needed.
The event which was held at Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, was the maiden edition of the annual lecture to honour the memory of the former governor of Lagos State, Lateef Jakande.
The programme was themed “Lateef Jakande: The Man, His Journalism, His Politics.”
