The Nigerian Senate is set to amend section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022 to ban same-faith tickets in future presidential elections.

“I hereby propose the amendment of Section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022 by inserting a new sub-section 3, When this is accommodated, it will serve as a guide against any oversight such as this in the future as further occurrences will be deemed as silent policies which will be capable of bringing down the fabrics of the nation,” Adeyemi said while carpeting the Upper Chamber for not blocking moves by the APC to field a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 presidential elections.

On his support for Tinubu and Shettima, Adeyemi said, “I have had the privilege of knowing the candidates personally before now, and my support for them as individuals is not based on the fact that they are members of the APC or because they are Muslims as I am a Christian myself.
