Magnus Abe
Former representative of Rivers South-East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for assenting to the electoral law, describing it as a process of rewriting history.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson, Abe said the future of Nigeria is now in the hands of the Nigerian people.
He added that the citizens have for long been looking forward to a process that would enable their voice to be heard and that is what the President has done.
“I want to thank the President for granting assent to the Electoral Act. He has kept to his word. The future of our country is now in the hands of the Nigerian people,” Abe said
He added: “Our democracy is evolving and the citizens are looking for a cleaner process that will enable their voice to be heard. I think that is what is driving the process.
“Mr President himself has been a serial victim of faulty electoral processes and he has promised Nigerians that he will leave behind a better electoral process: this, he has done with his assent to the electoral act.
“I also want to thank all members of the National Assembly who worked tirelessly to make this legacy legislation a reality.
“Our democracy is not yet perfect; there is still a lot of work to be done particularly within the political sphere, where major actors continue to conduct themselves with utter disdain for norms of democracy.
“The Nigerian people should all be energized by this victory, it is now clear that if we desire it and we work towards it, the Nigeria of our dream is possible in our lifetime. To God be the glory.”
