Obaofaba:
Good

It's a great news to Obi, because he will ceased running from one political party to the other snatching their presidential tickets up and down.

He's learnt his lessons though, because all the votes he thought he got in the last election are as good as invalid votes.

His candidacy is frought with bizarre illegality and hereby dismissed.

kingsways:
impossible

To get signature of 20% of registered voters is almost impossible

Enjoy your day.

Hope it is not independent candidacy that will make every tom dick and harry want to contest as governor or president?

There may be a whole textbook as ballot paper o.., there must be stringiest requirements to be met to contest as independent candidate.

JOemmy:
Nice one but they should have not have included the 20% verified signatures of registered voters in every state there's no way any young nigerian politician can be able to get that 20% signatures in all nigerian states 2/3 could have been very okay.

tunjijones:
Good one.

This means that Peter obi can contest in 2027 without going through any political party.

tommy589:
Good if it sails through

State governors hijack local government monthly allocations. Independent candidate is what is needed at grassroots level to put to rest states stealing of LG funds. And also stopped politicians appointed by governors and without stakes in constituencies becoming LG chairmen

Don't mind the Corrupt people. They're out main problem.

Ajibel:
According to Constitution Alteration Bill No 58, for any Nigerian national to contest presidential election as independent candidate, he or she must obtain the verified signatures of at least 20 per cent of registered voters from each State of the Federation provided that a registered voter shall not sign for more than one independent candidate in respect of the same office.

They made the hurdle really high.

I was thinking something along the line of verified signatures of at least 25 per cent of registered voters from 24 States

..it's good because a candidate does not need to contest for president , governor, senator through any political party...no need to go through party primaries and bribe delegates with dollars to vote for the person inorder to become the presidential candidate of the party...no need for the person to buy presidential party form of 100 million like APC sold their presidential APC form...a young person, a youth can contest for president independently without been a member of any political party

ufotunang:
...yes even the youths can contest for.presidential, governorhip position in an election without being a member of a political party...I pray that Buhari should sign this bill

ufotunang:
..it's good the youths will contest... nigeria need a younger person to govern this country to make it better...

ufotunang:
.. how is it impossible

My money is for you and I, your money is also for you and I. Shikina, if you don't like it. Remain in your father's house or go find some half simple low self esteem men.

It's the highest form of absurdity. That part was added by evil people.

Bringbackmandat:
I agree with this law. You don't need corrupt APC or PDP before you can contest.

mu2sa2:
Signatures of 20% of registered voters is more than stringent condition. "Verified" signatures for that matter!
