Electoral Act: There Are Issues beyond Direct Primary – Sociologist

The controversy trailing direct primary or its otherwise in the amendment of the electoral act should not be allowed to overshadow other issues critical to credible polls in the country.

A sociologist, Mr Niyi Oladeji stated this in an interview with Radio Nigeria Ibadan.

Mr Oladeji explained that Nigerians should be concerned about clauses forty-three, fifty-two and sixty-three being allowed to thrive.

Mr Oladeji added that when allowed to function, the clauses would curb rigging and other forms of electoral manipulations.
