Why Atiku Wants Opposition Rejection of Tinubu's Electoral Act 2026 Sent to US, UK Embassies

‪@pauluwadima‬ President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently signed the controversial Electoral Act 2026 into law, but major opposition figures including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, David Mark, Buba Galadima, and NNPP National Chairman Dr. Ajuji Ahmed have strongly rejected it. They describe key provisions (like Section 60(3) on manual result transmission fallback despite high network coverage) as anti-democratic, designed to undermine transparency, subvert the will of Nigerians, and pave the way for manipulation in the 2027 elections. In a rare united front at a joint press conference in Abuja themed “Urgent Call to Save Nigeria’s Democracy,” Atiku Abubakar emphasized sending their formal rejection and demands for fresh amendments to Nigerian embassies worldwide—specifically urging delivery to the embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, and other Western democratic countries in Nigeria. This move aims to draw international attention to threats against free, fair, and credible elections. Why this matters: Critics argue the rushed signing and certain clauses could entrench one-party dominance and compromise INEC's electronic transmission safeguards. The opposition demands the National Assembly immediately reopen amendments to reflect Nigerians' aspirations for transparent polls. Watch the full breakdown, key quotes from Atiku, Obi, Amaechi & others, and what this means for Nigeria's democracy ahead of 2027.
