Background of the Study
Bukola Saraki, former Senate President of Nigeria, played a significant role in Nigeria's legislative reforms, including electoral reforms. Saraki’s influence in the Senate, particularly during his tenure as Senate President, allowed him to champion various legislative initiatives, including electoral reforms aimed at enhancing the transparency and credibility of elections in Nigeria. Electoral reforms are crucial for ensuring free, fair, and credible elections, as well as increasing citizens' trust in the democratic process.
Bida, the headquarters of the Bida Emirate in Niger State, has witnessed various elections during Saraki’s influence in the Senate. His leadership and contributions to electoral reform discussions are important for understanding how reforms have impacted the electoral process at the local level. This study will assess Saraki's influence on electoral reforms and their effects on electoral integrity and public participation in Bida.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the efforts of the Nigerian government to implement electoral reforms, issues such as voter suppression, electoral malpractice, and distrust in the electoral process persist in several regions, including Bida. While Saraki’s influence was instrumental in promoting reforms, there is a gap in understanding how these reforms have specifically affected electoral practices in Bida. This study seeks to evaluate the extent to which Saraki’s advocacy for electoral reforms has contributed to improving electoral integrity in Bida, Niger State.
