The Organization for Community Civic Engagement (OCCEN) has said that the National Assembly must veto the Electoral Reform Bill 2021 if President

The group accused Buhari of applying delay tactics in signing the Bill just as he did in 2019 which compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission to use the 2010 Electoral Act in the conduct of the election, despite its deficiencies.

“Unfortunately, with two weeks left until deadlines, the President is yet to assent on the Bill and has been foot-dragging and unjustifiably delaying on the Bill, this should be worrying to every Nigerian because it appears the President is listening and giving priorities to some powerful and selfish categories of politicians”.

He said the President needs to do away with the selfish interests of some Nigerian politicians and focus on what is in the best interests of Nigeria and its citizens. “While the current system of indirect primaries has handicapped women and youths from achieving their political leadership, the direct primaries would surely give them that chances and opportunities,” he said.
