The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari has no reason not to give his consent to the amendments made to the Electoral Act by the National Assembly.
The forum also thanked the senate for doing the needful and listening to Nigerians concerning the electronic transmission of the election results, noting that it was a major improvement from the status quo.
The Publicity and Advocacy Director of NEF, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed stated this in a telephone interview with Vanguard on Wednesday, October 13 in Abuja.
He said: “These amendments represent major improvements in the quality of the electoral law.
“They are also evidence that legislators have yielded to popular demands that we should not go to the 2023 polls without these and other improvements.
