Sowore Condemns Tinubu's Signing of Electoral Act 2026

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), reacted strongly to President Bola Tinubu's signing of the Electoral Act 2026 into law. Sowore expressed his displeasure, stating that the new law, which allows for electronic transmission of results, includes provisions that could undermine the integrity of elections in Nigeria.

He characterized the act as an assault on democracy and called for Nigerians to resist the bill. The law was approved after heated debates in the National Assembly, where lawmakers agreed on a version of the bill that was sent to the president for approval.

Sowore's claims suggest that the 2026 Electoral Act is designed to hinder free, fair, and credible elections in the country, raising concerns about the future of Nigeria's democratic processes.
