Amendment of section 49 with new subsections (1) and (2)

This provision enshrines the use of the smart card reader and other technological devices in elections.
Under the proposed section 49(1 a person must present himself with his voter’s card to a Presiding officer for accreditation at the polling unit where his name is registered.

Section 52 (2) - Conduct of polls and e-voting
In 2015, this provision was amended to give INEC the discretion to determine the procedure for voting. Now, it seeks to further amend the provision to mandate the Commission to conduct elections by electronic voting or any other method of voting as it may determine from time to time. The proposed amendment slightly differs from extant provisions as the Commission shall only declare the result of an election null and void if the votes cast in the polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters

This reflects the current practice in elections where accreditation occurs before voting.

New subsections (4) The amendment to section 63(4) provides for the presiding officer to announce the result at the polling unit.


Insertion of a new section “(65A)” after section 65 of the Principal Act

This amendment seeks to mandate digital storage and archiving of election results by INEC at its national headquarters.
It mandates the Commission to compile, maintain and update a National Electronic Register of Election Results as a separate database.
The National Electronic Register will contain the information of results relating to polling units in every election conducted.
Furthermore, it allows any person or political party obtain a certified true copy of an election result that is stored in the National Electronic
Register in a State, Local Government, Area Council, Ward or polling unit.
This could be printed or stored in an electronic format after paying the fees prescribed by the Commission.

New 67 A after section 67 of the Principal Act “Verification and Confirmation of Results”

This is a new insertion that mandates the Collation or Returning Officer to collate and announce the result of an election after verifying and confirming that the number of accredited voters stated on the collated result corresponds with the number of accredited votes recorded and
transmitted from the polling unit. It further specifies the procedure for confirming the number of accredited voters in the event a collated result is not correct, as well as the procedure for resolving disputes regarding results from the polling unit.
The provision goes on to prescribe a 5 years imprisonment penalty without option of a fine for a Returning Officer or Collation Officer who collates or announces false results.

Insertion of a new section “(76A)”after section 76 of the Principal Act Mandates the Commission to record details of electoral materials such as the quantities, serial numbers, particulars of result sheets and other sensitive materials used to conduct elections. Failure to do so shall cause the election to be invalid. Also, presiding officers who deliberately announce an election result without adhering to this procedure will be liable to imprisonment of at least one year without an option of fine.

ABUJA—Presidential candidate of PDP in the 2019 elections and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sign into law, the Electoral Act amendment, if he is really interested in the conduct of free, fair and credible elections.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council yesterday in Abuja, Atiku said that signing the Electoral Act was necessary because elections were governed by laws and that good laws were required to ensure credible elections. “Such laws constrain the behaviour of all who are involved in the electoral process, including the candidates and their supporters, security agents and the electoral umpire,” Atiku said.

He predicted that the 2019 Presidential election would be tough based on what he called the desperation of the APC-led government to cling to power at all costs. “We are facing an APC government that is desperate to cling to power at all costs, which means that this will be a tough Presidential election,” he added. He said he was not surprised that the APC government was running a campaign of “personal attacks and innuendo,” which he said was caused by the party’s failure to keep its promises to Nigerians.

YENAGOA- THE 21st Century Youths of Nigeria for Restructuring on Friday warned it will commence devastation of critical infrastructure, beginning with Lagos and Abuja if at the end of its seven-day mourning for Nigerians soldiers slain by Boko Haram, President Muhammadu Buhari did not sign the Electoral Act passed by the National Assembly into law.

The group, which declared seven-day memorial for over 70 Nigerian soldiers, killed by Boko Haram, on Monday, urged President Buhari to sign the Electoral Act into law “as a mark of honour to the slain soldiers and democracy before the expiration of our mourning period.” Leader of the group with membership drawn from nine states, self-styled “General” Izon Ebi, in a statement, warned, “We want to use this medium to remind the Federal Government that this time around, we are not going to destroy our oil infrastructure, but critical infrastructure built with our oil proceeds in Abuja and Lagos.”

The group said it was obvious that “violence is what this government understands to do the right thing,” adding, “We are in the 21st century and have come of age to do the right thing.” Its words: “We, therefore, call on the international community to prevail on the Nigerian government to pass the Electoral Act into law because doing so is like building the right foundation for a free, fair transparent and credible election.”

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said that Senator George Akume never wanted him to assent to the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.

Ortom spoke at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi when Masev Development Association; Mbalom Unity and Progress Association; and Dooshima U Kasev Mbasa visited him.



The governor said he gathered Benue stakeholders in May 2017 to sign the ranching law in their presence, but Senator George Akume called him aside and asked him not to assent to the law without giving any convincing reason.

He said when he asked Akume to inform the stakeholders about his advice, the senator left him in anger.

Ortom wondered why a senator whose constituency had suffered human and material losses to herders’ attacks would oppose a law proffering solution to the carnage and go out telling the world that his people were killing themselves.

Addressing the challenges presented to him, the governor directed the immediate construction of classroom blocks at LGEA Primary School, Atu, and the sinking of two boreholes in Mbasa.

He assured the people that he would also attend to the challenges presented by the other groups as resources permitted.

Speaking earlier, the President of MUPA, Mr Samuel Abagi, differed with Akume, stressing that they were in support of the ranching law of the state and the administration of Governor Ortom.

NonsoWow:
I read the entire report. But what caught my interest was the testimony of that trader Mrs. Dada who said that after investing the 10k in her business, she made 80k profit in a short while. That shows the Tradermoni is touching and changing lives and for it to be bearing fruit this much is another testament that God is answering the prayers of Pastor Osinbajo on the disbursed funds.

what type of micro business will give you 800% returns in less than a month

he should sign electoral bill into law.

THE Yoruba Youth Forum has said any political party opposed to the call for restructuring should be regarded as the enemy of Nigeria and the Yoruba nation.

The YYF, in a statement on Tuesday by its National Chairman, Abiodun Bolarinwa, called on all Yoruba to be united in their choice ahead of 2019 general elections.

Bolarinwa said, “This is the time that all political parties would want to curry the support of the youth but we in the YYF, a youth organisation duly recognised by the prime traditional rulers in Yoruba land, would not want the youth in the South-West to blindly support political parties that will not serve their interest and deliver the dividends of democracy to the land.

“Any political party that fails to back the restructuring of the country should be regarded as an enemy of Nigeria and the Yoruba race. This is because what is paramount on the minds of all Nigerians, especially the youth, is the restructuring of the country because they believe this will bring development to all the federating units.”
