President Bola Tinubu has signed the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 into law less than 24 hours after its passage.
The National Assembly on Tuesday after months of deliberations, passed the bill in a controversial manner.
Many civil society organisations and well meaning Nigerians have kicked against the newly passed bill, insisting that it doesn’t reflect the wishes of the people.
While signing the bill, the President said Electoral Act amendments are not about politics, they are about process: President Tinubu
“After every election cycle, we owe Nigerians an honest look at what worked and what must work better. That is how serious democracies behave, and our laws must grow with experience”.
“Today, I signed the final amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act into law”.
“These amendments are not about politics. They are about process. They are about closing gaps, strengthening procedures, and providing greater clarity to those who conduct and participate in our elections”.
“When citizens walk into a polling unit, they must do so with confidence. When results are declared, they must be trusted. That confidence is built deliberately, and not by chance”.
“I sincerely thank the National Assembly for its cooperation and sense of national responsibility in bringing this process to a successful conclusion. Our responsibility remains to keep improving the system so that the people’s will is expressed clearly, peacefully, and credibly”.
“The work of strengthening our democracy continues, and we shall not relent”.
