What Precisely Did The New Electoral Act Achieve? by savcy(m): 6:58pm On Mar 18, 2023
Prior to this election one the factors that really piqued my interest and enthusiasm was the new Electoral Act. And after Prof. Mahmood's Chatham House expose, I couldn't be more hyped for the elections to arrive.

I had so much hope that Nigeria finally had laws that would, to an appreciable measure, discourage election malpractices. I even went out of my way to encourage every single person at work, home and church that cared, across all political divide, to come out and vote in both elections as their vote was certain to count.

But with the prevailing evidences of the IREV conundrum, violence and ballot box snatching in both federal and state elections the contrary is the obvious case. Given the inglorious history of elections we've had in the past, and the Electoral Act created to mitigate most of the factors responsible, how come this election cycle has failed to meet expectations?

Lolz.
I always tell people.
A functioning society is a product of sane "minds" and not product of sane "constitutions". Then followed by strong institutions.
A society where her inhabitants lack moral and integrity value cannot experience orderliness even with the present of laws and constitutions.

The problems are deliberate, man-made. The Electoral Act is fairly ok.

Their idea of an effective electoral act is one where APC losses all elections.

If Jonathan applied the thuggish character of Tinubu or the extremist tendency of Buhari, Do you think Apc will be in power at the national level today.. Pre 2015 the people assisted tinubu and buhari to upsurp power from meek Jonathan.. Now Apc is assuming the tyrannical behaviour of Pdp of yesteryears.. I hope Apc government favor you like they did to you the last 8 years.

Absolutely nothing. But reading the Greeks discourse on Idiots, Tribesmen and Citizens in contemporary Nigeria Politics, I am sorry to say that most uneducated Yorubas fit into their definition of political "IDIOTS and TRIBESMEN" It's not an insult but a definition of thier political psychology.
