According to him, “With the new electoral reform Nigerians will be surprised and happy to see what will happen in 2023 election because it will be smooth, transparent, free and fair,”
He added that, “the issue of ballot stuffing and snatching will not happen, and no voter can vote twice. The election will be smooth that if Mr. A wins the election, Mr. B will not hesitate to congratulate Mr. A, and vice versa”.
Mashi also said the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) for those who did fresh registration and transfer of polling units were ready for collection..
“Those who did fresh registration and transfer of polling booths in July can go and collect their PVCs because they are ready”, he said.
