LAWMAKERS WITNESS AS PRESIDENT SIGNS ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL INTO LAW
Members of the National Assembly of Nigeria stood in solidarity as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu officially signed the Electoral Amendment Bill into law, marking a significant step in Nigeria’s democratic journey.
The signing ceremony, attended by lawmakers from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, was seen as a moment of pride and fulfillment, especially for legislators who worked tirelessly to review and pass the bill in the interest of the Nigerian people.
Many lawmakers described the moment as historic, noting that the amendment would help strengthen Nigeria’s electoral process, improve transparency, and deepen citizens’ confidence in elections.
Speaking after the ceremony, some lawmakers said the new law reflects the collective will of Nigerians, especially grassroots voters who have consistently called for credible, free, and fair elections.
“This is not just a victory for the National Assembly or the President, but a victory for ordinary Nigerians, the market women, farmers, youths, and workers whose voices must count,” one lawmaker said.
Across communities, political observers and citizens expressed hope that the amended electoral law would reduce irregularities, promote accountability, and ensure that leaders truly emerge from the will of the people.
For many Nigerians, the presence of lawmakers at the signing ceremony symbolized unity between the executive and legislative arms of government, reinforcing their shared responsibility to protect democracy in Nigeria.
