An All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Benue State, Prince Omoi Obande, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.
Obande, who spoke with newsmen on Wednesday, expressed confidence that with the bill passed into law, a free and fair electoral process powered by modern technology would be the order of the day.
He said: “One of the greatest things that this government will be remembered for and will achieve is if it signs the Electoral Act Amended Bill into law, where there are direct primaries, and it is like giving the entire process back to the people who are the electorate.
“It will reduce litigations after elections, it will test the popularity of the candidates, and it will reduce drastically money politics and above all allow the people’s opinion to count in the electoral process.”
