Professor Pat Utomi has lamented the signing of the Electoral Act amendment bill into law by President Bola Tinubu.
Utomi said that the freedom he and his like minds fought for in the 1990s was now completely dead.
He said that the good people of the country must start the struggle for freedom afresh as it appeared Nigerians now have no say in matters that affect them directly.
DAILY POST reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu swiftly signed the over 120-page Electoral Act 2026 on Wednesday, raising fears among Nigerians that the 2027 general elections could be a mess.
The President had at least 30 days to read through and consult some of his appointees, including the INEC Chairman before deciding either to sign or send the Act back to the National Assembly.
However, he signed it under 24 hours after it was brought to him, and Prof Pat Utomi said Nigerians must now rise against “a cabal foisting on us advance election rigging.”
He wrote on X, “Back in the 1990s I put my life on the line that Nigeria may be free. Today it became clear that freedom has been murdered.
“I call on Concerned Professionals to return to the struggle for the liberation of the Nigerian people from a cabal foisting on us advance election rigging.”
