Falana Criticizes Electoral Act Amendment for Lack of Enforcement

Human rights lawyer Falana expressed his views on the ongoing Electoral Act amendment in Nigeria during an interview on Arise Television. Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), emphasized that the amendment process would be ineffective without proper enforcement mechanisms.

He criticized the reckless impunity and absence of penalties for vote buying and thuggery during elections, attributing the challenges to the failure of the political class to enforce existing laws. Falana underscored the importance of holding politicians accountable and ensuring consequences for undermining the nation's democracy.
