Sowore Criticizes Tinubu's Signing of Electoral Act Amendments
Omoyele Sowore, a former presidential candidate and activist, expressed strong criticism of President Bola Tinubu's recent signing of the 2026 Electoral Act amendments. Sowore accused the amendments of being designed to weaken the integrity of free and credible elections in Nigeria.
He made these remarks in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, following the signing that took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Sowore emphasized the need for the Nigerian populace to resist what he described as an assault on democracy and urged citizens to confront the situation to prevent impunity.
He highlighted that the amendments, while purportedly aimed at strengthening transparency, include provisions that could undermine the ultimate goal of ensuring free and fair elections in the country.
