PANDEF: Failure to address electoral reforms pathetic

Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has said the failure by President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issue of electoral reforms in his Democracy Day address, was pathetic.

PANDEF said it was dismayed that the President failed to commit himself on the amendment of the 2010 Electoral Act, which he withheld assent in 2019, particularly, with off-season gubernatorial elections around the corner. 

The group’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Robinson, said after 21 years of uninterrupted democratic rule, the least President Buhari should bequeath to Nigeria, is an Amended Electoral Act, consistent with citizens’ expectation, strengthening the nation’s electoral process.
