Since PDP left, elections have improved tremendously – Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has stated that Nigeria’s elections have greatly improved since the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) left power in 2023.

“Since the PDP left, the elections have improved tremendously in this country. Imagine in this last election, we had to go up to the Supreme Court, arguing over whether winning the FCT was the only reason why you should become president,” he said.

Speaking during the second reading of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill on Wednesday, Akpabio alleged that certain individuals from Anambra State had traveled abroad during the 2023 elections to prepare questionable documents, which they later presented in court.

The Senate then passed the bill for second reading, titled “A Bill for an Act to repeal the Electoral Act No. 13 of 2022 and enact the Electoral Act 2025 to regulate the conduct of Federal, States, and Area Councils elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and for related matters.”
