The Chief Press Secretary of the electoral body, Rotimi Oyekanmi, in an interview on Channels TV stated that there would not be a glitch.
He said, “We have been using the IReV for all governorship elections, but it [2023] was the first time we deployed it for the general election setting. Well, we had a glitch for some hours, and we fixed it. But I can assure you that this time around we are not going to have glitches.
“I can affirm that those technical issues have been resolved. Last week, we undertook the mock accreditation, and one of the reasons we did that was to test run these technology gadgets we were going to use, and it was successful.”
Oyekanmi also stated that there could be technology downtime at any point, but noted that the body has learnt lessons from the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
He further stated, “Technology can throw up challenges, but by and large, we have learned our lessons from the 2023 general elections.”
Oyekanmi also clarified that what INEC does with the IRev portal is uploading and not transmission of results.
He said, “We are not transmitting; we are uploading.
