Tinubu emphasised the importance of public confidence in the electoral system, noting that citizens must approach polling units with assurance and trust the outcomes once results are declared.
According to him, such confidence is built through deliberate institutional improvements and consistent reform.
He also expressed appreciation to the National Assembly for its cooperation and sense of national responsibility in concluding the legislative process that led to the amendments.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to continuous democratic reforms, stressing that efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s electoral system would remain ongoing to ensure that the will of the people is expressed clearly, peacefully, and credibly.
