The Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt Hon Frank Okiye, has assured Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, Center For Liberty and Smiles Africa International, on National Assembly’s passage of Electoral Act Amendment Bill before the end of 2020.
The two CSOs currently are on joint advocacy pressing for Electoral Reforms including other core issues bordering on democratic governance and social change in Nigeria.According to the statement the Speaker assured that “as soon as we reconvene the house, we will take it as part of our duty to pass a resolution urging the National Assembly to fast track the passage of the Amendment.”
The groups had embarked on a peaceful march to the Edo State House of Assembly, Benin, demanding for a resolution that will urge the National Assembly in Abuja, to accelerate the passage of the Electoral Bill, currently before the 9th Senate. “The fact that it has to be reformed, we need a new law, we need a cleanup of the old order and form it into a new reality and a new order, and this is not a negotiable fact.
