Recently, the leadership of the National Assembly was pilloried for failing to adhere to its promise to pass a new Electoral Act by June, this year. We also urge Nigerians to stand up to resist this latest attempt by the National Assembly to manipulate the Electoral Act forself-perpetuation and self-interest. We have been here every day, every night asking the National Assembly to pass the bill. Therefore, we are asking that this National Assembly should pass this bill before embarking on the long recess in July. “The National Assembly must agree that elections remain the most critical aspect of democracy the world over.
