Electoral Act: National Assembly allegedly bought to restore Tinubu to power – Udenta

A political analyst and founding National Secretary of the Alliance for Democracy, Professor Udenta Udenta, said that the National Assembly was secured to amend the Electoral Act in order to reinstate President Bola Tinubu.

Udenta made this statement on Thursday during an appearance on Arise Television’s “Prime Time.”

He also questioned why the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, under Tinubu’s administration halted primaries on 30 May.

“The National Assembly was procured to amend the Electoral Act to get Tinubu reinstated into power.”

“Since the inception of this government in 2023, we have discussed this matter. The dwindling or shrinking civic spaces, the brutal assault on labour centres, the weaponization via lawfare of the criminal justice system.”

“The war declared on political parties, that is multi‑party democracy, by a regime tiptoeing into totalitarianism, not just even what they call authoritative sort of construct of power, but a hybrid regime.”

“How come the same INEC under Tinubu stopped primaries in 30th May? Because they didn’t even think opposition parties would succeed at their primaries.”
