The Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Sadiq Umar, has said overriding the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari on the Electoral Act Amendment bill would have plunged the country into a constitutional crisis., a Kwara NUJ Correspondents’ programme in Ilorin.
According to him, the senators did not do a U-turn on the issue but were forced by the decision of the House of Representatives to stand down the debate on the President’s letter. “What happened was that after the National Assembly passed the Electoral Act , the President wrote back to us given reasons why he could not assent. We believe some of the reasons, some we don’t, others we are confused and doubting.
“For the Senate, we were ready to override and there was a debate where we struggled on this. But while that was going on, the House of Representatives, unfortunately, did not address the President’s letter. “They felt it was a hot matter that needed more consultations and engagement and kept it in abeyance to pass the budget with a plan to return to it after returning from the holiday when they would have engaged with their constituents,” Umar said.
This is what happen when idiots are not ready to put the same one Nigeria they desperately want first. Divide this dead country called Nigeria
