Can I Stand As An Independent Candidate For Election In Nigeria? by Jandexpat: 12:08pm On May 02, 2017
I know the bill to allow Independent candidates in Nigeria passed the second reading in December 2016. Has the bill been passed into law? If not, how do we ensure it does.
For those who don't know what Independent candidacy means, it means that a person can be a candidate without having any affiliation with, or being sponsored by a political party. This will likely deal with the problem of Godfatherism and enable a candidate think rationally without considering party affiliations and politics.
