2027: Fix Dangerous Loophole Now, Atiku Demands Urgent Amendment Of Electoral Act

Image
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has issued a stern warning over what he described as a grave and dangerous ambiguity in Nigeria’s Electoral Act, calling on the National Assembly to act immediately safeguard the sanctity of the ballot. In a statement signed Wednesday in Abuja, by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the Waziri Adamawa raised alarm over Section 63 of the Act, particularly the provision that allows a ballot paper without an official mark to be counted at the discretion of a returning officer. “This is not a minor technical issue—it is a direct threat to electoral integrity,” Atiku declared.

Kimberly Daniels, a United States Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives for District 14, has alleged that Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defense, Bello Matawalle, attempted to bribe a US official to deflect the narrative of the United World Congress of Diplomats, UN-WCD, report. The lawmaker made the claim in a viral video released on her official Facebook account on Monday. She said Matawalle’s alleged move was to cover up the UN-WCD report on Christian genocide in Nigeria, which indicted him.
