Speaking on Arise TV on Monday, Bayode said that BVAS, which was first introduced into our elections in 2021, is currently running on Android version 10. The ADC Presidential candidate said that running an election technology platform like BVAS on an outdated operating system poses severe cyber and operational risks. Atiku said that the nonchalant attitude of handling the BVAS issue is suspicious and a deliberate attempt to subvert the integrity of the country’s elections. He supported the position of cybersecurity expnoerts that “running critical national infrastructure on an end-of-life operating system creates a broad attack surface. To safeguard election integrity, it is vital to perform an independent, comprehensive code and hardware audit of the BVAS devices.”
