“Today, there is a lack of ideology in the National Assembly, and that’s why, in fact, the few opposing voices in the Senate have originated from the ruling party,” Falana remarked.

The Senior Advocate went on to criticize the decision by the government led by President Bola Tinubu to appoint individuals with strong partisan affiliations as Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

It’s worth noting that the Nigerian Senate confirmed the appointment of 10 nominees proposed by President Bola Tinubu for the role of Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) on Wednesday.
