President Bola Tinubu signed the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 into law less than 24 hours after it was passed by the National Assembly, a move that has sparked widespread debate over the amendment process.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, Obi called on Nigerians to push back against the newly enacted Electoral Amendment Act. She said, “Civil society organizations are alarmed. Citizens must rise up. The National Assembly’s excuse about network coverage is an outright insult to Nigerians’ intelligence. The nation’s future is at stake; we are undermining the very system we aimed to strengthen.”
In a related development, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) accused President Tinubu of weakening Nigeria’s democracy through his rapid assent to the controversial bill.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party argued that the President’s hasty approval “amounts to signing the death warrant on credible elections in the country.”
The ADC further condemned what it described as the “extraordinary haste” with which the National Assembly passed the amendment and the President signed it into law, noting that the move disregarded widespread public objections and risks setting Nigeria’s democracy back by decades.
