‘Primary Tool For Election Rigging’ – Itodo Slams EC8A Recognition In New Electoral Law

‘EC8A Has No Legal Rival’

The Executive Director of Yiaga Africa, Samson Itodo, has faulted the recent assent to the Electoral Act 2026 by President Bola Tinubu, describing key provisions of the amended law as inconsistent with the aspirations of Nigerians.

Itodo, who spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said that although the new law contains some progressive elements, critical provisions affecting the integrity of elections were enacted against public expectations.
