It was not surprising that the Presidency described the gathering and resolutions of leaders of major opposition political parties in the country who gathered in Abuja last Thursday as reckless.
The leaders demanded that the National Assembly should immediately commence a fresh amendment of the Electoral Act 2026 to reflect Nigerians’ yearnings, describing the amended Act as “anti-democratic.”
President Bola Tinubu signed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law on February 18. It was until the bill had been signed that many knew its implications to the 2027 general election.
