Elections Have Improved Since PDP Left Power – Akpabio
Senate President Godswill Akpabio stated that Nigeria's electoral process has significantly improved since the PDP left power. During a debate on amending the Electoral Act, Akpabio, a former PDP governor himself, cited the flawed 2007 elections, where even President Yar'Adua acknowledged its irregularities, as a contrasting example. He argued that progress has been made in plugging electoral loopholes since then. However, Akpabio conceded that the system isn't perfect, referencing the 2023 election disputes, particularly the debated significance of winning the Federal Capital Territory. He criticized the time wasted on such arguments, emphasizing that common sense should prevail in interpreting the Electoral Act.
