Abati and Oseni Clash Over Electoral Act Amendments
On a live television broadcast, Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni engaged in a heated discussion about the recent amendments to the Electoral Act, which were signed into law by President Bola Tinubu. The amendments, which were passed by the National Assembly within 24 hours, have sparked controversy.
Oseni expressed frustration, arguing that the Senate does not represent the interests of the people. In contrast, Abati contended that it was unrealistic to expect Senate President Godswill Akpabio to oppose President Tinubu, considering their shared political party affiliation.
This disagreement highlights the differing perspectives on the role of the Senate and its alignment with the President's agenda.
