A member of Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olabode Geoge has hailed President Buhari for signing the electoral amendment bill into law
According to the former Deputy National Chairman of the party, “This is a triumph for all Nigerians and for all advocates of genuine representative governance.
“I congratulate President Buhari for being courageous and forward looking enough to append his signature to this very significant Bill which has now become part of our law.
“This Electoral law is quite significant in many ways. It will forever remove the democratic process from the shackles of godfatherism and money bags who continue to sabotage the will of the people. It will equally reduce a great deal of electoral malpractices through the brazen forging of figures and other manipulative processes that hinder the democratic growth.
George said with the new law Nigerian democracy is now on the path of liberation and emancipatory importance.
He said, “The will of the people will now triumph over the shenanigans of a dirty few. This, no doubt , will deepen our democratic values and ensure the endurance of freedom and liberty. It is indeed a right step in the right direction.
“Nigerians have suffered a lot for this democratic dawn. We must all applaud every opportunity that enhances our collective freedom. The next agenda that needs the attention of President Buhari is the devolution of powers where all sections of our nation will be empowered to develop at its own pace without the overbearing intervention of the center.
