Political analyst and founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy Professor Udenta Udenta said the National Assembly was bought to amend the Electoral Act to get President Bola Tinubu back to power.
This was the statement Udenta made on Thursday when he appeared as a guest on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ in an interview.
He also asked how the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, under Tinubu’s administration stopped primaries on May 30th.
“The National Assembly was bought to amend the Electoral Act to put Tinubu back in power.
“This is an issue that we have been discussing since the formation of this government in 2023. The contraction of civil society spaces, the brutal assault on labour centers, the weaponization of the criminal justice system through lawfare.
They call it the authoritative sort of construct of power, but a hybrid regime. So the war against political parties, that is the multiparty democracy, by a regime that is stepping into totalitarianism.
Why same INEC under Tinubu stopped primaries on 30th May? They did not even believe the opposition parties can win their primaries,” he said.
