2019 presidency pressurising inec not to use electronic voting

I think there may be some misinformation here.

To clarify, the 2019 Nigerian presidential election was held on February 23, 2019, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did use electronic voting machines (EVMs) in some parts of the country.

In fact, INEC had planned to use the EVMs in all polling units across the country, but due to technical issues and concerns about the reliability of the machines, they were only used in a limited number of polling units.

The use of EVMs was not a new development, as INEC had been testing and deploying them in some states since 2015. However, the 2019 election was the first time they were used on a large scale.

It's worth noting that the use of EVMs was not without controversy. Some stakeholders, including political parties and civil society organizations, raised concerns about the security and integrity of the machines, as well as the potential for fraud.

In the end, the results of the 2019 presidential election were announced, and President Muhammadu Buhari was declared the winner. While there were some controversies and allegations of irregularities, the election was generally considered to be a significant improvement over previous elections in Nigeria.

So, to summarize, INEC did use electronic voting machines in some parts of the country during the 2019 presidential election, but not in all polling units due to technical issues and concerns about the reliability of the machines.
