If Tinubu Could Revert National Anthem In 24 Hours, Electoral Act 2026 Can Be Amended – Sam Amadi

AI Summary

Sam Amadi, a member of the African Democratic Congress, urged the amendment of the Electoral Act 2026 to remove the clause that permits manual transmission of election results when electronic transmission is unavailable. Speaking at a Citizens’ Townhall, he argued that the law could cause confusion if officials choose not to upload results due to poor network connectivity, and cited President Bola Tinubu’s rapid change of the national anthem as evidence that the act can be amended quickly. Amadi called for consensus to modify the provision so that INEC can regulate result transmission more effectively. The proposal highlights concerns about the reliability of result reporting and may prompt legislative review of the act.
