Nigeria’s House rejects law to ban vote buying in primaries, sparking criticism from former governor Peter Obi.
Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has condemned the Nigerian House of Representatives for rejecting legislation to criminalize vote buying during party primaries, calling the decision a failure to address a core flaw in the country’s democratic system.
He warned that allowing such practices at the foundational stage of elections undermines efforts to ensure free and fair polls, and noted that vote buying has spread into community groups, student unions, and local associations, normalizing corruption.
Obi emphasized that lasting democratic reform must begin at the earliest stage of political participation and urged Nigerians to demand accountability to protect the nation’s democratic future.
