Honestly, this is something a lot of people argue about. From what I’ve learned, after Justice Uwais led that Electoral Reform Committee, there was huge hype about fixing Nigerian elections. I think some stuff he suggested did work, like making voter education and setting new rules for political parties actual priorities. People seem more aware of their rights now compared to before his reforms.

But, if you talk to folks around elections, there’s still a lot of cynicism. Some people say things haven’t changed much at all, especially since not every big recommendation was adopted. Like, politicians still pull sneaky moves and there's still skepticism about how votes are counted. I remember a friend telling me her parents still think elections are rigged, so clearly, trust still has a long way to go.

That said, I feel like Justice Uwais’ impact isn’t about magic fixes—it’s more that he started pushing people to expect more from the system. Maybe it’s not perfect, but at least now everyone’s talking more openly about what’s wrong and how to fix it. I think that’s a win, even if it’s a small one!
