Abe Urges Nigerians to Support Passage of Electoral Act

In Port

Former Representative of the Rivers South East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, has urged Nigerians to support the passage of the Electoral Act by members of the National Assembly.

The former senator said that signing of the Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari would end all short cuts to power and return power to the people.

Abe made the call yesterday, during his courtesy visit to His Royal Highness, Mene Kadilo Kabari, at Barako in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He stressed that the process that was legislated for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to supervised direct primaries would reduce the cost of organising elections in Nigeria.

Abe said: “Elections are not expensive; it is the behavior of people that destroyed the electoral process in our country that has made elections become expensive.

“This electoral Act, if signed by Mr. President will give Nigeria a new beginning and a new opportunities for Nigerians to actually reap the dividends of democracy because there would be no short cut to power anymore.”
