BREAKING: Reps receive Electoral Act amendment bill

After days of speculations, the House of Representatives on Wednesday received report of the Committee on Electoral Matters on a bill to amend the Electoral Act.

Some alleged salient details of the report have been in the public space for over one week, forcing leadership of the House to insist it was yet to receive the Committee report.

The report was laid before the House at plenary by Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Aisha Jibril Duku.

It is expected the report will be considered for passage at plenary on Thursday before the House embarks on its annual summer vacation.

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila has assured the House will pass the bill before its summer break
