The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Friday, revealed that elections in Nigeria will never be credible until there are improvements in the country’s electoral laws.
Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary, to the party disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
Ologbondiyan also said that the party resolved to constitute a broad-based committee to work with the National Assembly and other stakeholders on the Electoral Act amendment to make Nigeria’s elections free, fair, and credible.
“We are also going to engage the civil societies on electoral reforms.
“As a party, we have seen that the issue of electoral frauds, abuses, hijack of the electoral process can only be redeemed if every Nigerian agrees in unison that we must amend the rules.
“This is why the PDP has agreed to work in concert with CSOs, faith-based organisations, community leaders to entrench a law in the system in which the people can truly elect their representatives,” he said.
