The National Assembly has re-amended the Electoral Act Amendment Bill on Wednesday and approved both direct and indirect primaries.

They had gone into a closed-door session after which the chamber became rowdy. The reason for this was, however, not known as the lawmakers gathered in clusters.

In the letter, the Nigerian leader had cited the direct primaries clause as a major reason for his decision. “The amendment as proposed is a violation of the underlying spirit of democracy which is characterized by freedom of choices.” In a statement, the PDP accused the All Progressives Congress of plotting to rig the 2023 elections, describing Buhari’s action as a “script to put Nigerians under perpetual bondage”.
