 A group, African Parliamentary Advocacy and Reform Group, has advised Nigerians to take parliamentary elections serously and ensure credible lawmakers have voted into the Senate and the House of Representatives. The group observed that parliamentary elections have always been conducted in the shadow of the executive during general elections. The report. The group team leader Chibuzo Okerekei observed that parliamentary elections, which are supposedly the symbol of democracy, is often sometimes neglected during the build-up to general elections and this year is no exception. Okerekei says the perceived attitude by Nigerians and the electoral empire must stop and the pride of place of the parliament must be granted for democracy to thrive in the country. The political platforms are saturated with the presidential campaign rallies and media engagements with presidential candidates and their policy documents in all the political affairs programmes of major media organisations in Nigeria. Little or no attention has been channelled towards electoral campaigns of the National Assembly elections. Members of the team also drew more light on the need for Nigerians to see the parliamentary elections as the most important in our democracy while urging them to vote only lawmakers with proven track records. Calling on the media, on behalf of my colleague and also on the media, we're calling on the citizens, civil society organisations to also do a bit more of work in amplifying the need for people to cast their vote for the National Assembly choice members. In all the group wants, INEC, the media and Nigerians in general, so start paying attention to the legislature as deemed so before the end reach of the nation's democratic system going forward.
