In a series of statements that have resonated across Nigeria, former Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central, has made a strong call to the National Assembly to prioritize electoral reform and the devolution of power in the ongoing constitutional amendment process. Sani, a vocal advocate for democratic reforms, emphasized the importance of setting aside personal interests to ensure that the constitutional amendments serve the broader interests of democracy and governance in Nigeria.
Sani's remarks come at a critical time when the nation is grappling with the challenges of electoral integrity and the concentration of power. He pointed out that political interests have historically hindered efforts to amend the constitution, thereby stalling significant progress towards more democratic governance. According to Sani, the failure to address these key issues could undermine the country's democratic foundations and hinder its development.
The call for electoral reform is particularly poignant in the context of Nigeria's electoral history, which has been marred by allegations of fraud and irregularities. By advocating for a more transparent and accountable electoral system, Sani is highlighting a crucial step towards strengthening democracy in Nigeria. Similarly, the devolution of power is seen as essential for promoting more equitable governance and addressing the concerns of marginalized regions.
Sani's appeal to the National Assembly is a reminder of the urgent need for constitutional reforms that reflect the aspirations of the Nigerian people. As the country continues to navigate its complex political landscape, the success of these reforms could mark a significant turning point in its democratic journey.
The coming months will be critical as the National Assembly considers these recommendations. The outcome of the constitutional amendment process will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the future of governance and democracy in Nigeria, making the stakes higher than ever.

If you could change one thing about how political leaders are elected, what would it be?

Shehu said, “Since 1999, the national assembly has been inaugurating committees to amend the constitution of Nigeria, but the problem has been that the issues that are supposed to be amended are not amended because of interests.

It should be directly focused on ballet votes, I think the electoral college shouldn't have any affect on it.
@9M8BLB92wks2W
Instead of letting the election be by electoral votes it should be by the number of people voting for the said runner.

Do you believe giving more power to local governments could improve your community’s problems?
