Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, has called on the National Assembly and the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), to pass the electoral bill so that INEC can hit the ground running towards the 2023 elections. INEC made 36 recommendations in the new electoral bill. He however lamented that direct primaries may also be problematic because of the loopholes within the system. Any governor that has the capacity to manipulate direct primaries has the capacity yo do for indirect primaries.
