The Senator representing Kebbi South, Bala Na’Allah, has urged Nigerians to put pressure on their representatives in the National Assembly to pass the amendments to the Electoral Act.
He said federal lawmakers must be made to act patriotically and place the nation above their parties’ interest on the matter.
Na’Allah, a member of the Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, said this in an interview with State House Correspondents after a meeting he had with the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.
The senator said a public hearing had been held on the document and lawmakers must now do what is right.
