This was contained in a statement signed by leaders of Civil Society Organisations in the coalition, including Centre for Liberty, NESSACTION, Millennials Active Citizenship Advocacy Africa, Raising New Voices, and Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement Africa.
“Nigerians seek an enduring electoral reform that will address the deficits in the electoral system viz provision for electronic transmission and publication of results, full biometrics for accreditation and the need for spending limits on nomination forms among other things,” the statement read in part.
“We reiterate our call for the quick passage of the Electoral Amendment Bill in the first quarter of 2021, as promised by the leadership of the National Assembly and the committee on electoral reforms.”We consider this imperative, as this will also guarantee timely assent from the President at least before the commencement of the Anambra 2020 electoral process.
