Pat Utomi Calls Tinubu's Electoral Amendment Treasonous

Pat Utomi, a prominent political economist, has publicly condemned President Bola Tinubu's recent signing of a controversial electoral amendment. In a post shared on Friday, Utomi described the actions of the National Assembly and Tinubu as a "gangster style assault" on the popular will of the people.

He warned that this move could have grave consequences for Nigeria's democracy, suggesting that it reflects a lack of character and shame on the part of those involved. Utomi cautioned that the situation could lead to instability in Nigeria, specifically referencing the ongoing crisis in Khartoum, Sudan, as a parallel.

He urged stakeholders and civil society groups to take the developments seriously and not to dismiss the potential ramifications of the electoral amendment.
