Electoral Act assent, Buhari’s finest legacy, says IYC
The Ijaw Youth Council has commended PresidentMajor Muhammadu Buhari for signing the reworked Electoral Act Amendment Bill, 2022 into law.
The council described the presidential assent as laudable and said it showed the president’s commitment to ensuring credible elections in 2023.
It also added that the signing of the bill into law was the finest legacy that his regime would bequeath to the country.
The IYC, in a statement on Tuesday by its spokesman, Ebilade Ekerefe, said the new electoral law would strengthen the nation’s democracy and electioneering process.
He, however, urged the President to demonstrate the same commitment to other areas of governance, particularly issues concerning the Niger Delta.
He stated, “The decision of the President sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, 2022 is commendable and remains the finest legacy his government will leave behind in view of the outcry by Nigerians for our electoral process to be strengthened.
