House Don Form Committee to Fix Electoral Bill Gist

My people, make we yarn wetin dey happen for our National Assembly as House of Representatives don gather beta minds to handle Electoral Act Amendment Bill for 2027 elections.

E be like say dem don hear all the wahala wey people dey shout about electoral reforms, and na why dem don set up this bipartisan Conference Committee. This one go fit help harmonize wetin Senate and House don pass separately, so that every angle go gree.

Na true talk, Akin Rotimi, the House spokesman, don drop the gist say committee get seven members led by Lagos lawmaker, Mr. Adebayo Balogun. Others wey dey join am na Fred Agbedi, Sada Soli, Ahmadu Jaha, Iduma Igariwey, Saidu Abdullahi and Zainab Gimba. Dis committee go dey work hand in hand with their Senate counterparts to make sure everything align before dem send am to President for approval.

We sabi say since after 2023 elections, plenty people don dey call for changes dem as e concern the Electoral Act. Civil society, political parties, and observers don chuk mouth too, wanting reforms wey go make everything shine like new. But e be like say House and Senate no dey see eyetoeyeye about some provisions, especially about technology for election and dem timelines for party primaries.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio don talk say dem need do proper review because the bill fit change how elections dey held for this country. If dem no take am serious, e fit lead dem go court tribune, and we sabi say nobody wan go that side again.

Aminu Tambuwal and other senators dey inside a different committee to also harmonize their views. Dem go check every clause because this bill no be small talk. Na matter of electoral integrity, transparency, and public confidence we dey yan so. If we fit pass am right, elections go make sense this 2027.

Senaor Opeyemi Bamidele don yarn some highlights wey go dey inside the bill, like tougher penalties for vote-buying, electronic transmission of results, and even make we fit include prisoners for voting drama. Na serious reforms dem dey plan, and to make sure say every Nigerian fit participate well-well.

As dem dey chop this matter for better scrutiny, we dey wait to see how dem go wrap am up. This committee don get only three days to finish the gist, and we dey hope say dem go do quick job wey go benefit all of us as we dey eye the 2027 electoral season.
