Electoral Act: National Assembly bought to get Tinubu back to power – Udenta

A political analyst and founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy, Professor Udenta Udenta, says the National Assembly was procured to amend the Electoral Act to get President Bola Tinubu reinstated into power.

Udenta made this statement on Thursday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.

He also questioned how the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, under Tinubu’s administration stopped primaries in 30th 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,” he said.
