A civil society group, the United Global Resolve for Peace, has called for the review of Section 94 of the Electoral Act, in a bid to better the country’s electoral system.
The Chairman of the group, Shalom Olaseni, in a signed statement, noted that the 150-day period was too short to travel the breadth of the country to make campaigns, adding that this encouraged parties to resort to efforts to de-market their opponents, rather than sell their candidates. Part of the statement read “As earlier noted, section 94 of the Electoral Act only permits a 150-day campaign period which terminates exactly 24 hours before Election Day proper. We strongly submit that the allotted 150 campaign days are too short for an all-encompassing campaign across the breadth of a large and populous nation like Nigeria with its inherent peculiarities and diversity.
“The United Global Resolve for Peace, while encouraging political parties and candidates in the election to choose the path of honour and integrity, will also be leading a policy advocacy for the review of Section 94 of the Electoral Act as part of an intended overhaul to better the Nigerian electoral system”.
