With the expectation that Nigeria will experience a better electionary process in 2019, we hope that the law makers will recognize the contributions of the masses and put to consideration the suggestions and proposals from the political parties as duly proposed.
The political parties will therefore, be appearing before the House of Representative on Monday 22nd May, 2017 to pour out their minds on the issue of the electoral Act amendment which is on process.
