The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, says the upper chamber will prioritize further amendments to the Electoral Act 2022, to address the challenges thrown up in the just concluded party primaries across the federation, and to improve the electoral process in the country.
Lawan in his welcome address on Tuesday during plenary said the electoral process in the just concluded primaries has thrown up issues that must be critically looked at by the National Assembly.
He called on the lawmakers to stay committed to the political system of their respective parties, irrespective of the outcome of the just concluded primaries.
On Nigeria’s security situation, Lawan noted that the National Assembly will continue from where it stopped, in ensuring improved security across the country.
The red chamber had on Wednesday, suspended plenary, to enable lawmakers to participate in the
party primaries, ahead of the 2023 General Election.
