Naija News reports that Kingibe made this known on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ programme.

The lawmaker said she was on the Committee for Electoral Reforms, which worked on the document for two years, but it was surprising that what they presented was not in the original copy of the Electoral Act.

She said, “What they presented was not in the original one. I spoke to somebody about it. I said, I can show you the documents I have.

“In what election have we ever conducted, where INEC ballot papers did not have security measures that you can bring any type of ballot paper vote with it. It’s never happened.

“And so when somebody was mentioning to me, I said no, I didn’t see that part. It couldn’t have been there.

“I was on the committee for the electoral reforms. Two years we worked on a document that was acceptable, and we did bi-camera sitting.

“So it was not just the Senate; the Senate and the House of Representatives sat, as well as with INEC and some CSOs and came up with a document that we felt would give us free and fair election. We brought it and every aspect of it was turned upside down.”
