The lawmaker said it was expedient to amend the electoral law in other to deepen the nation’s democracy, adding that the bill would also help to regulate the federal, state and local government polls.

She said the amendment has become necessary because of the flaws observed in the nation’s elections, noting that there were some lacuna that needed to be amended.

Dakku said the Senate, House of Representatives, the judiciary and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) were on the same page to forestall a repeat of what happened during the eighth National Assembly when President Muhammadu Buhari refused to assent to the electoral bill.

The lawmaker added that the House would also come up with a bill for establishment of Electoral Offences Commission to tackle the issue of electoral malpractices, diaspora voting and independent candidacy will be addressed in the review of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

PIB for second reading

The House of Representatives has passed for second reading the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) with a pledge to surmount all obstacles that had militated against the proposed legislation in the past.

The proposed legislation  entitled: ‘A Bill for an act to provide legal, governance, regulatory and fiscal framework for the Nigerian petroleum industry, the development of host community and for related matters” was transmitted to the House by President Muhammadu Buhari in September 2020.

The bill seeking the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) proposes the establishment of Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission to be responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of upstream petroleum operations.

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila,  who referred the bill to the House Committee on Petroleum Upstream,  assured that the PIB will be passed by the ninth Assembly as all the various challenges that truncated the passage of the bill in the previous assemblies had been taken care off.
