While Nigerians were expecting President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the electoral act amendment bill into law or communicate to the National Assembly before or on 19 November, 2021, which is the stipulated time by law for the president to act, there was no communication until 21 December, 2021 when the Senate officially received and read the President’s communication rejecting the electoral bill.Buhari’s letter which was read on the floor of the Senate on 21 December, 2021 dated 13 December, 2021.
Recall that in August 2018, President Buhari declined assent to the 2018 Electoral Bill presented to him by the 8th Assembly on the ground that there were errors and cross-referencing gaps in the bill including the time it was presented to him to sign, which he said was too close to the 2019 general elections.
While the executive is quiet on the errors found in the bill for the battle ahead, and incase the National Assembly didn’t abandoned the proposed electoral legal framework, Civil Society Organisations have identified errors in 11 sections of the bill, similar to what happened in 2018. The CSO who are insisting the National Assembly should correct the errors and send the bill back to Buhari for his assent, said the entire process should be done so that the new electoral legal framework can be tested in the FCT Area Council elections, Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial elections before the 2023 general elections.
And they don't care. They are just busy declaring intention. How the election would be conducted doesn't matter to them.
Because they don't want it to be ready. CRIMINALS occupy your FAILED country's political space. Let this sink in well in you. Ok?
