When next we talk about electoral amendment laws which should be somewhere in the very near future, it is important that we look at two issues for the purpose of fairness and justice:

1. The practice of double nomination by aspirants under any guise should be made illegal. In 2019, Aminu Tambuwal returned to his state to become governor after contesting in the presidential primaries. Senator Rochas did the same thing in 2015. The likes of Saraki and Kwankwaso would have been in the senate now if they had won in the 2019 elections, yet they contested in the presidential primaries of the same election. This practice is bias, and anything that in the end will trounce justice, equity and fairness is undemocratic since these are some of the important principles on which democracy ought to be built.

2. Consensus arrangement as a mode of conducting election primaries by political parties should be deleted from the electoral laws we already have. It would have been a very good method but the challenge here is that It will always be political gladiators and party bigwigs that eventually determine the candidates for various positions. We cannot guarantee equity and fairness knowing how most of our leaders are only self-serving. And if the final decision rests on the palm of the aforementioned group, then power may not be returned to the people as should be in a democracy. I believe you now understand why most of the "party big men" are talking about consensus.

I'll rest my case here.
