Arise New anchor, Rufai Oseni, has lashed out at President Bola Tinubu for signing into law the controversial Electoral Act less than 24 hours after it was passed by the National Assembly.

 

 

Speaking on Tuesday during the media’s ‘Morning Show’ programme monitored by DAILY POST, Rufai said it was obvious the president did not read what he singed.

 

Recall that President Tinubu on Wednesday signed the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 into law.

 

 

Rufai said, “This is an aberration to democracy. The president signed a bill in less than 24 hours. Did he go through the Attorney-General? What bill did he even sign? Who vetted the bill. Did the president read the bill he signed into law or he just rushed it? Have they gone through the rightful process? What did they harmonize? What is even in the bill as we speak today?

 

“This is the same country where we have had discrepancies between what was signed and what was gazetted. Till today, this same rubber-stamped National Assembly cannot account for the tax bill.

 

 

“The National Assembly is not serious. The same lawmakers that sang ‘on your mandate we shall stand’ to President Tinubu.

 

“I’m sorry but we have a good as dead opposition in this country. If we had an opposition that is thriving, by this morning they should be the ones running around filing court cases.

 

“I think this opposition should even go and learn opposition from the APC because they don’t look ready and organized to me.”
