Kaduna Central, on Thursday disclosed why the National Assembly changed the
order of the 2019 general election.
The All Progressives Congress,

all political parties a level playing ground.
In a post on his Facebook page,
the lawmaker explained that the change in the electoral timetable would help
prevent “mass trial, mass conviction, mass acquittal and mass burial of
candidates.”

sequence of elections so as to give all political parties a level playing
ground during elections.
“The new sequence will arraign
each candidate, alone in the dock before “Justice Electorate”. The new sequence
will prevent mass trial,mass conviction,mass acquittal and mass burial of candidates
or politicians.”
The National Assembly had
recently amended the Electoral Act to change the order of 2019 general
elections’ time table.
