The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka, says the National Assembly’s handling of the real-time electronic transmission in the newly amended Electoral Act was pragmatic and realistic.
Speaking on Monday during an appearance on ‘The Morning Brief’, Morka defended the passing of the amended Electoral Act and its signing by President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu’s assent to the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026, less than 24 hours after it was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, resulted in criticisms, with some questioning his swift approval.
Speaking on the legislative action, Morka backed the lawmakers, saying they took into account the country’s technological realities.

“The Senate and the House of Representatives, in passing the Electoral Act, were being very pragmatic and realistic, taking into account the state of address of communication technology in our country.
“Let’s keep in mind that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is not the only party in our National Assembly. We have other parties there.
“So whatever the outcome of deliberations and bills that are passed through the National Assembly must be considered as the output of the combined effort and collective will of all members of the legislature,” Morka stated.
