Na wah oh! As wahala dey everywhere, Senate don appoint 12 members wey go work with House of Representatives for di Electoral Amendment Act matter wey dey cause serious gbas gbos for town.
Na di Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, wey announce di committee members during one emergency plenary session wey dem hold for Tuesday. Na serious business dem dey tackle so as di Electoral Bill no fit jam for ground again.
Di committee go led by Senator Simon Lalong, while di rest wey join include Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Tahir Mungono, Adamu Aliero, Abba Moro, Asuquo Ekpenyong, Aminu Iya Abbas, Tokunbo Abiru, Niyi Adegbonmire, Jibrin Isah, Ipalibo Banigo, and Onyekachi Nwebonyi. Na big team dem gather oh!
Akpabio don talk say dem increase di number from nine to twelve, and e urge dem to hurry up make dem finish di work sharp sharp so that President Bola Tinubu fit sign di bill into law before di month run finish.
As di meeting dey happen, tension don rise wey make di deco turn rowdy after Senator Tahir Monguno raise matter for di floor. Im dey challenge di earlier approval of Clause 60(3) wey ni order im own shoki shoki. Dis one no be small wahala oh!
Monguno try change wetin dem talk before as e wan replace “real-time” with “transfer” for di transmission matter. Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe no gree make dem carry di matter like that. E dey vex, dey shout point of order like say dem dey play football match.
According to di report wey dey page 45 from di Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, di original Clause 60(3) talk say, “Di Presiding Officer go electronically transmit di results from each polling unit to IREV portal in real time.” But as wahala dey, no one wan hear dat one!
