Nigeria’s Electoral Act: Dodgy Senators, Gullible Citizens

Bearing in mind that a constitution would be unwieldy if it is made to contain every type of provision, other laws, regulations and guidelines are allowed to provide further provisions that would illuminate the not too copious constitutional statements on a particular subject area. The Electoral Act is expected to handle such situations in matters of elections.
