I still remember that in 2023 presidential election, there were issues hinging on anomalies and corrupt electoral practices that bedeviled the election. Then after the matter was dispensed at the supreme court level in favour of Tinubu, the duo of Peter Obi and Atiku spoke bitterly about the electoral process in Nigeria and the need for it reform.

Some of the numerous issues at the election are listed below.

1. Technical Glitch
2. Falsification of school certificate
3. No real time transmission of polling booth results to irev
4. Electoral misconduct by hoodlums, vote buying, vote suppression
5. Late arrival of voting materials
6. To ensure polling booth result given to polling agents tally with the results announced by INEC
7. Constitutional review of what 25 percentage in 2/3 of the state is and the status of FCT
8. Concluding presidential election petition and matters before swearing in of the president to avoid undue advantage and influence on his ongoing election court matters.

Now, the issue is instead of the politicians to agitate seriously about these lop holes through constitution and particularly electoral process, they are busy struggling for merger, alliance abi coalition in ADC. And after one person emerge then they go to the poll and experience same excuses. The lessons of the past election have not been learnt by these people really.

The Uwais electoral reform is still there unattended to nor adopted. If that reform is adopted, it will bring some changes in the electioneering processes. For example it will strengthen the independence of INEC since the officials like the INEC chairman and commissioners will not be appointed by the president and their salaries too won't come from the executive. It also suggested independent candidacy. It also suggested electoral offenders commission where those who are found violating people's right to vote will be reported to and punished accordingly.

In my view therefore, I see that Nigerian politicians are just being selfish. They want every means to get into power like if you can't beat them you join them. But if all the loopholes are not taking care or reduced to bearest minimum through electoral reform, the next presidential election will still be like that of 2023.

What's your thought my people?
