HE Sen. Prof Ike Ekweremmadu CFR: A true democrat & an accomplished Parliamentarian who has the interest of the electorates at heart.
No doubt that all the electoral reforms currently enjoyed by the Nigerians happened under HE Sen. Prof Ike Ekweremadu’s leadership as Chairman of the Committee on Constitution Review.
He led the lobby that saw to the inclusion of electronic voting in the Electoral Act before the 2015 general election, this action paved way for the card reader in the 2015 general election and recent test-run of electronic transmission of results in the Edo and Ondo States governorship election.
He is a top member of the Joint Technical Committee comprising INEC, CSOs consultants, and select members of both green and red chambers of the National Assembly.
As a true democrat, Ikeoha Ikeoha did not hide his disappointment over the rejection of electronic transmission of election results during the consideration of the report at plenary held July.
Sen. Prof Ike Ekweremmadu, who was attending a plenary of the International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace in Montenegro when this Plenary held.
Reacting to that unhealthy development, he assured Nigerians that all hope was not lost for electronic transmission of result in 2023 general election.
According to him ( Ikeoha Global ) and I quote:
"I and other progressive lawmakers would ultimately converge across party lines to salvage the situation during the harmonisation of the Bill by the House and Senate once the National Assembly resumes from vacation".
Today, HE Sen. Prof Ike Ekweremmadu CFR has proved again that he is a true democrat who match his words with actions as the Red Chamber finally okays the electronic transmission of election results, these wonderful development is indeed a huge victory for democracy.
Ikeoha Global, you are simply a God-sent!
Come 2022/2023: Ndi Enugu ekwelugo na Proven Capacity, Competency, Capability and Credibility.
A new Enugu State is coming
Better Days Ahead!!
