I'll rather go to jail than obey mandatory voting Law- Olisa Agbakoba

 

Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Olisa Agbakoba, has criticised the proposed bill seeking to make voting mandatory in Nigeria, declaring that he would rather be jailed than comply with such a law.
Agbakoba said this while speaking on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, arguing that the National Assembly fails to address the root causes of voter apathy in the country.
He however listed the causes of lack of interest in politics which he stated is as a result of government not fulfilling their promises which is the main reason citizens do not want to vote or take part in election.
