I Still Believe BVAS Is A Game Changer – Abia Labour Party Gov’ship Candidate, Alex Otti

The Labour Party governorship candidate in Abia State, Alex Otti, has come to still express his belief in the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) despite all the issues arising from the presidential and national assembly elections.

This is as he appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to sort out any issues with the BVAS devices before the March 18 governorship polls.

Naija News reports that Otti while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, expressed optimism that BVAS is a game changer but asked INEC should endeavour to fix the problem with the devices.

Recall that the electoral umpire has faced continuous criticisms after its inability to transmit results to its portal at the presidential and national assembly election on 25 February.

Otti said “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.”

The Labour Party chieftain while speaking about his chances at the polls explained that if elected, he would embark on a massive rebuilding of infrastructure that would help in reducing unemployment and creating jobs for the people of the state.

Otti pointed out that Aba had lost its glory as several companies had moved out of the state, adding that he would return its glory and make it better if he is given the mandate of March 18.
