Nigeria’s Senate spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu, has lashed out at Nigerians insisting on the real-time electronic transmission of election results, stating that they are “never satisfied”.
He made the remark on Tuesday while appearing as a guest on the Channels Television programme, Politics Today.
On Monday, 9 February, a group of Nigerians converged on Abuja for the “Occupy National Assembly” protest. The demonstration was aimed at demanding the real-time electronic transmission of results after the Senate rejected the proposal.
Prominent politicians, such as the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, were among those who participated.

Reacting to the protest, Adaramodu—the lawmaker representing Ekiti South senatorial district in the 10th National Assembly—argued that those seen at the National Assembly are known to demonstrate even when government policies are geared towards “good things”.
Speaking during the interview, he said: “Those people you saw on the street are always there, even for good things.
“If you give them a road, they will say it is not wide enough. If you give them electricity, they will say the light is not bright enough.
“It’s the same people on the street, and they will continue to be there.”
