Ex-NBA president faults new electoral act

A Former President of the Nigeria Bar Association and President, Nigeria Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN has faulted the newly amended electoral act.

Olanipekun spoke while fielding questions from journalists at the Ekiti State Government House in Ado-Ekiti.

He was particular about section 65 of the Electoral Act which he described as strange and dangerous to the success of a good electoral process in Nigeria.

The Legal Luminary frowned at the National Assembly for allowing the Section in the Electoral Act to scale through and submitted to the President for assent.
