Before the 2019 general elections, President Muhammadu Buhari declined assent to the electoral act amendment bill which was passed by the 8th Assembly.

Even though the president said there were errors in the bill sent to him, the major complaint by Buhari was that the bill came late. The president said he will sign the bill if the errors are effected and sent to him on time but that there was no way such a bill would be used in that election.

Their counterparts at the green chamber, passed a different version of the bill. Their version was viewed by many Nigerians as the one that should be adopted since they did not undermine the independence of the electoral umpire in their document.
