The Senate has responded strongly to Nigerians who protested against its rejection of real time electronic transmission of election results.
Senate spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu, said those protesting will always find something to complain about, even when good things are done.
He made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television.
On Monday, many Nigerians gathered in Abuja for what they called the “Occupy National Assembly” protest. They were angry over the Senate’s decision not to approve the use of electronic transmission of election results.
Some popular politicians joined the protest.
They include former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.
Reacting to the protest, Adaramodu said the same group of people always show up to complain.
“Those people you saw on the street are always there, even for good things,” he said.
“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.”
The debate over electronic transmission of election results has continued to cause strong reactions across the country.
