He specifically said that the report of the committee barred the INEC from transmitting results of elections by electronic means. He said, “If they want war, we are ready for them because the only thing that could make our elections to be credible is through the electronic transfer of results. “There was electronic transfer of results during the Edo State governorship election and that was why the poll was very credible.
