Be patient with us, Lawan tells EU election observers
The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, on Tuesday, asked for more time to enable the lawmakers implement the recommendations made by the European Union Election Observation Mission .
“Of these 30 recommendations, majority of them require legal reforms. Therefore, we look to the National Assembly to take the initiative of having an inclusive devotion to moving the recommendations forward,” she said. “EU has had Observation Missions here in every general election since 1999. We do not pretend that electoral processes are perfect around the world, there’s a lot that can be done. That is the spirit with which we are engaging today,” he said.
“We will look at the lessons that we need to learn from the past elections because we are not able to address some of the issues particularly the wrong timing we had when the electoral amendment was sought. He assured that the ninth Senate under his leadership, will listen and work together to make future elections credible.
