The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has lauded President Bola Tinubu’s swift assent to the 2026 Electoral Bill, calling it a necessary step ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
The ACF’s reaction underscores the significance of the bill in enhancing Nigeria’s democratic process.
The bill allows for electronic transmission of election results, but also includes a manual transmission option, sparking debate among stakeholders.
The ACF’s stance is echoed by other groups, including the Coalition for Good Governance (CGG), which praised Tinubu’s dedication to sustaining Nigeria’s democracy.
However, opposition parties and some civil society organizations have criticized the bill, arguing it may enable electoral manipulation.
