Synopsis

A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain and ex-Aviation Minister, Osita Chidoka, says the Nigerian Constitution and other electoral laws should be amended to make any presidential candidate who doesn’t have over 50% of total votes cast in an election unfit for office. The ex-minister suggested runoffs for presidential polls where no candidate scores over 50% of the total votes cast. Chidoka says the votes got by President Bola Tinubu, then-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, put him in a serious minority that makes it difficult for him to push big agenda like petrol subsidy removal and the unification of the foreign exchange windows.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4166630/advertisement
