Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee for president in 2023, has applauded how technology affected the decision of the Osun State governorship election petition tribunal.
The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), according to a statement by Atiku on Tuesday, has cemented itself as a legal tool for the accreditation and transmission of election results in Nigeria.
After the Supreme Court upheld the victory of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, the former vice president made the comment in response through a press release issued by his media office.

According to Atiku, the use of technology in Nigerian elections is a development that cannot be undone. He continued by congratulating the residents of Osun State for the affirmation of their collective mandate given to Governor Adeleke.
“We are all witnesses to the copoius references to the BVAS technology in coming up with this judgement.
“The law governing our elections has truly brought power to the people, and those power mongering politicians who believe that they can freely subvert the inherent power of democracy now have their hopes dashed,” he said.
He added that Nigerians should take keen interest in the growth and development of democracy in the country, saying: “we must not put the laws in our hands but remain vigilant because, as the saying goes, ‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
