The Abia state governorship candidate under the flag of Labour Party, Alex Otti, has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to resolve any issues with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) before the March 18 governorship and state assembly elections.
INEC had been castigated for its failure to use BVAS to transmit a significant number of election results from polling units in real time during the February 25 presidential election as promised.

Alex Otti appealed to the commission while speaking during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday. Otti maintained that he still believes BVAS is a game changer but asked INEC to fix the problem with the devices.
“Despite the discussions about BVAS and all that, I still believe BVAS is a game changer and I believe that something must have gone wrong and it has to be fixed. INEC needs to redeem its image because a lot of us were very hopeful and excited that votes would count this time.

“I followed the election in Ekiti and Osun, what happened on the 25th is not a representation of what happened in Ekiti and Osun. So, my plea is that INEC should solve the problem before the election of March 18,” Otti said.
The guber candidate also lamented on how badly the state’s infrastructure had decayed over the years. He promised that, if elected, he would embark on massive rebuilding of infrastructure that would help in reducing unemployment and creating jobs for the people of the state.
He also vowed to bring the city back to its old glory and possibly make it better in his first four years in office as governor, upon his election on March 18.
