So prisoners can vote and we in diaspora can’t vote? What a senate is the 9th senate.

Because it will soon be their voting centres?

.

Tell politicians to go to prisons for campaign.

Then why are they in prison if the can excércise their franchise Nigeriaafailednation at last where parliamentarians open their mouth to spill out rubbish

What then is the difference between independent and imprisonment... These law makers are rather foolish or another gimmick to rig the election...

Hahhh... hw comes nah..

I 😂😄😄😄😄😂 at this.

So that they can be used as thugs

Source of rigging. Votes from prisons will be half of the total votes cast

Very good idea

Why do you want prisoners to vote for you, or you want to release them abi? Look at what is happening in a low less country such as ours!

Why are we thinking negatively ?. Allow convicted criminals to vote ?. I don't think Lawan said this ?.

SPNigeria If prisoners can vote, they can also be members of NASS

This is what they are good at. Any law that will keep them in power is a must. Remember they can easily lure a prisoner to vote for candidates that can put food on the table.

isokuso...... daft people everywhere! you are in orison, you lose your fundamental rights.. okay?

You voted against Diaspora voting in the electoral act. Now you want prisoners to vote so you can rig election. What kind of backward leaders are these!
