2023 – How I’ll deploy technology to secure Plateau if elected Governor – Dr Nentawe Yilwatda
When Dr Nentawe Yilwatda was quoted as saying he can deploy technology to secure Plateau, I for one believed him.
Not because he possesses the capacity and know how but because he has done it before. I recalled that as the then Resident Electoral Commissioner in Benue State, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda was able to organize and conduct the most peaceful election in the history of Benue State in spite of the preemptive red flag warning issued by United Nations Organization of a possible bloodbath in the 2019 elections in Benue State.
How did he achieve this? Being an Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence, he personally developed an application that was sensitive to all Tiv, Idoma, Hausa, Igede and English phrases that connotes violence and deployed them on all local Networks which successfully identified, tracked and disconnected all communications by individuals speaking vocabularies that are suggestive of violence.
This was how all political thugs and their sponsors were disconnected and put in total disarray.
The result? There was sanity in the polity and for the first time in the history of elections in Nigeria, over five political parties won seats to both National and State Assemblies in Benue State without an incident of violence.
This is what TECHNOLOGY can do. So when Dr Nentawe says he can deploy technology to secure Plateau, believe him because he has done it before and he can do it again.
