According to Jega, the passage of the bill would improve the integrity of elections in Nigeria.

The former INEC Chairman asked the Buhari administration to do whatever within its power to make sure that Nigeria enters into the next elections with a new bill.

“This country will be better off if we go into the next election with a brand-new electoral law which will improve the stability of the preparations and conduct of the elections,” Jega said throughout a Townhall Meeting on the Electoral bill on Sunday.

While the debate over indirect and direct mode of primaries continues, Professor Jega discussed that the costs consists of a great deal of brand-new modifications.

36 recommendations had been produced the costs by INEC to the National Assembly, 31 of which were approved with little or no modifications.

According to Jega, the changes are the first in the last 12 years, and withholding assent to the expense, over a stipulation, would, for that reason, be detrimental to INEC’s capability to adequately get ready for coming elections.
