Minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu, also assured Nigerians that the lawmakers would veto President Muhammadu Buhari if he did not sign the electoral bill.
The CSOs said the input from the chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission , Mahmood Yakubu; attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami; minister of the interior, Rauf Aregbesola; minister of finance, Zainab Ahmed, and that of the Inspector General of the Police, Baba Alkali, are needed for the president to sign the bill, but that they must be guided by public interest.
“In this regard, the input from INEC chairman, attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, minister of the interior, minister of finance and the inspector general of the police are probably the most crucial. “The President should timeously assent to the Electoral Bill 2021 which is in congruence with the will and aspirations of the Nigerian people,” they said.
“The environment has changed. Even the sociopolitical situation in this country has changed. There is demand for the citizens to take hold of their country and be patriotic. ”If the National Assembly is determined to pass the Bill into an Act, it will only take intensive lobbying and the veto power of the president will be rendered otiose.
Wike said: “You know that the president will not sign that thing. He will not sign and I am very sure of that. If you understand the system as someone who has been in the system, you will know that the president will not sign it.
