WorldStage– As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu signed amended Electoral Act into law on Wednesday, he said “These amendments are not about politics. They are about process. They are about closing gaps, strengthening procedures, and providing greater clarity to those who conduct and participate in our elections.”
Tinubu admitted that government owed citizens of the country an honest look at what worked and what must work better.
“After every election cycle, we owe Nigerians an honest look at what worked and what must work better. That is how serious democracies behave, and our laws must grow with experience.
“Today, I signed the final amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act into law,” the President stated.
According to him, when citizens walk into a polling unit, they must do so with confidence; when results are declared, they must be trusted. “That confidence is built deliberately, and not by chance,” he said.
The President expressed sincerely thank to the National Assembly for its cooperation and sense of national responsibility in bringing the process to a successful conclusion.
He maintained that his government’s responsibility remains to keep improving the system so that the people’s will is expressed clearly, peacefully, and credibly.
“The work of strengthening our democracy continues, and we shall not relent,” he assured.
