The New Electoral Amendment Act by Ladiesdoctor(m): 9:32am On Jun 17, 2022 |
Going through the primaries, you will realise that the 109 senators and the 360 house of rep members never actually read through the new electoral amendment act. They were just screaming, "Mr President sign! Sign! Sign!" without even knowing what they have sent to him to sign. These lots never showed their constituencies! From the selection of only delegates.. these politicians didn't even know when they wrote off their statutory delegates! Like football coaches, it was their duty to inform their parties that the game has changed! They don't even know when they nipped in what made the Yørúbas opt for another candidate other than Yemi Osibanjo, because a VP who has done 2 terms can now only do a one term as president. This was where Ebele Goodluck Jonathan was seeking for clarification, to know if he is still eligible because, he has done VP that jumped into two terms and a one term President. PDP has not told their supporters that by the new electoral laws, Atiku Abubakar can only do a one term, haven done 2 terms as VP. The new law does not permit anyone who has contested for primaries in one party to skip to another for any position in the same election year. So the Mr.Peter Obi coming to PDP or NNPP Kwankwasiya teaming with Peter Obi is gone. The law does not even permit that any of those that has contested for any position to take up any other in the same year.. so the story of Nyesom Wike or Yahaya Bello, being a VP is off for 2023 cos they can't aspire for president and VP in the same electoral year. Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Akpabio, Bagudu etc who have variously contested can not vie for senatorial position or Vice Presidency respectively.. In fact, the scenerio that made Atiku a VP can't happen again, where he won as governor and was later picked by Olusegun Obasanjo. A beg as you are struggling to get your PVC, struggle to know the rules of the game! Go and read and understand the Electoral Laws. |
