The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Oyo State, Dr Adeniran Tella, has assured that the result of Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections would be ready earlier than the previous elections.
Tella disclosed this while addressing some newsmen in his office after monitoring the exercise.
He said BVAS has changed the game and reduced processing time which will make the result ready earlier than the previous elections.
“Part of the election procedure that the BVAS comes with is the uploading of election result on the INEC server. That means that we have got the result,” he said.
According to Tells, what is left is for the result to be easily collated and announced which should not take an unnecessarily long time to complete.
“This implies that we are going to declare the winner as soon as possible. I can assure you that we are likely to announce the result later today if there are no unforeseen hitches,”he said.
