The Nigerian Citizens Association in South Africa (NICASA), has underscored the need for Nigeria and other African countries to adopt the U.S. voting system in elections, to promote democratic growth.
The President of NICASA, Ben Okoli made this known in a telephone interview today.
Okoli commended the use of technology in the U.S. voting system, noting that it had contributed to electoral efficiency in that country.
According to him, the Federal Government can equally learn from such experience to achieve the much desired goals for its seemingly nascent democracy.
He said that the American election was a game changer that would define the future of the world, from politics and economy to foreign relations and the stability of the world peace.
Ikoli said this election will also define the interests and fight against the Coronavirus with China and Russia in the bulls eyes.
The advancement in technology he said is put to use again by the world power during this election and the electronic mail voting is a testament to the beauty of technology.
He, however, said that electoral institutions, such as electoral commission, the Judiciary and other enabling laws, needed to be strengthened to produce quality election and leadership in Africa.
