The Nigerian Senate commences a crucial emergency session today, and all eyes are on the proposed changes to the country's Electoral Act.
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has made her stance clear: Nigerians deserve elections they can actually trust.
Speaking ahead of the emergency plenary, the Senator emphasized that the current legal framework needs to do more to reflect the true will of the people.
As she entered the Senate chamber, she carried a strong message for her colleagues. For her, the "sanctity of the mandate" is non-negotiable.
She argued that the only way to truly restore public confidence in our democracy is by ensuring that election results are transmitted electronically in real-time.
"This is a critical step toward deepening transparency," the Senator noted. She believes that moving away from manual processes will protect the hopes of millions of Nigerians who yearn for a fair and credible voting process.
The emergency sitting comes at a time of heated debate over how Nigeria handles its polls. While the Senate deliberates on these contentious amendments, many Nigerians are watching closely, hoping for a law that finally puts an end to electoral uncertainty.
For Senator Natasha, the goal is simple: stronger democratic safeguards that leave no room for doubt.
