Nigerian National Assembly's 2025 Activities Shape Political Landscape for 2027 Elections

In 2025, the Nigerian National Assembly witnessed intense legislative activities with controversies surrounding tax laws, constitution review, and Electoral Act amendments. AbdulSammad Dasuki raised concerns over discrepancies in tax laws, leading to public disquiet.

Key figures like Atiku Abubakar and minority caucuses in the House of Representatives called for the suspension of the law's implementation. The year also featured debates on state police, state creation, devolution of power, and other reforms.

The constitution review exercise, led by Barau Jibril and Benjamin Okezi Kalu, attracted robust citizen participation across Nigeria's geopolitical zones, setting the stage for the 2027 elections.
