The APC Going Against Nigerian’s Wish On E-transmission-PDP Lawmaker, Adepoju, on Tuesday, as lawmakers disagreed over a motion seeking to rescind the passage of the Electoral Act Amendment bill.
This was before the green chamber ended in a dramatic U-turn as lawmakers of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and their opposition counterparts clashed over the mode of transmitting election results ahead of the 2027 general elections
Reacting, Adepoju, who is the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Character Commission, said, “We want Nigeria to have trust in our democracy and elect the leaders that they want.
“What played out in the National Assembly is the APC trying to go against what Nigerians want.
“I think Nigerians all saw what happened on the floor of the House. It was definitely not bipartisan.
“What happened, I can tell you, was nothing short of a rape of our democracy. This is something we have worked hard for since 1999.
“And if we, at this point in our democracy, can be thinking of having elections that may not be free and fair, then it’s a big shame.”
