President of the Nigerian Bar Association Olumide Akpata, has called for the passage of the Electoral Bill, saying there is so much in the document for it to be ‘thrown away’.
Electronic transmission of election results and compulsory direct primaries for political parties are among the amendments proposed by the National Assembly. “I’m so disappointed with the ways things have panned out. Almost everything about that bill smells progress. Most of the provisions of the bill are pro-people. I see those provisions as incremental steps,” he said.
“People with disabilities are included in the process, including that you must submit the names of your nominees 180 days before the election. These are all provisions that are responding to issues that have been highlighted in the process that are in need of fixing.
Good
Mr Akpata promised real reforms during his campaign to become NBA President. Very little if anything has been achieved so far. Glory to God 🙏
