PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, declined assent to additional bills approved and sent to him by the National Assembly to sign into law.

According to President Buhari, he refused to sign into law, the Nigeria Tourism Development Authority bill because section 14, section 30 of the Nigeria Tourism Development Authority bill contradict section 4 and paragraph 60 of the second schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria .

His words: “The comprehensive definition of the Nigeria Inland Waterways covers virtually all rivers, lakes and lagoons irrespective of the location of the body. The bill contradicts provisions of the constitution which limits the power of the National Assembly to make laws in relation to water from sources affecting more than one state of inland waterways which has been declared to be an international waterway or inter-state waterway.

Giving reasons for rejecting the Electoral Act amendment bill, President Buhari said there were some drafting issues that may affect the interpretation and application of the Principal Act. But Buhari said Section 7 of the bill might need to be redrafted to clearly indicate that it is Section 109 of the constitution that is being amended.

According to President Buhari, he rejected the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission Bill because the bill will interfere with and obstruct the smooth administration of revenue generating agencies of the federal government aside other infractions on extant laws. While he cited drafting errors as reason for refusal of assent to Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill, the President kicked against the move to weaken his power in the approval and removal of Governing Council members of Federal Polytechnics as envisioned in the rejected bill.
