Updated March 20, 2019President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday conveyed to the National Assembly his decision to decline assent to five bills.
The President made his decision known to the Senate via five letters which were read on the floor of the hallowed chambers by Senate President Bukola Saraki. In his letters, the President stated several reasons why he declined to assent to the bills in question.The bills which were declined assent to include: Digital Rights and Freedom Bill, 2018, Nigerian Film Commission Bill, 2018, Immigration Amendment Bill, 2018, Climate Change Bill, 2018, and Chartered Institute of Pension Practitioners of Nigeria Bill, 2018.

What do you expect from a tyrant that's only interested in obnoxious laws that would only give himself and his cohorts the leverage to continue in their illicit acts and illegalities?

Legislators are always in a hurry to get bills signed into law at the end of their legislative year,they are bothered about number of bills they get to make&signed rather than the value it adds to the people. That's why we get conflicting laws.
The ruthless dictator is always mindful of bills deemed not to be favourable or potentially harmful to his ethno/religious interest amongst others
