Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi Criticizes Nigerian Senate for Delaying Electoral Act Passage

Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, a former Director of Voter Public Education at INEC, has accused the Nigerian Senate of intentionally stalling the passage of the Electoral Act. Osaze-Uzzi suggested that there is evidence of deliberate delays by the Senate in passing the Act, which could lead to Nigeria reverting to the Electoral Act of 2022 due to flaws.

He made these allegations during an interview on Arise Television's prime time program. Osaze-Uzzi emphasized that the Senate should not delay the passage of the Electoral Act, as the consequent delays could force Nigeria to use an outdated electoral law.

This criticism raises concerns about the potential impact on the country's electoral processes and the need for timely legislative action to ensure fair and transparent elections.
