Buhari in his letter to the National Assembly rejecting the electoral act amendment bill, raised concern majorly on the direct primary election to be conducted by political parties, insisting it will limit right of choices, make the electoral process expensive, increase violence and insecurity, but declined comment on several other errors in the Bill for the battle ahead.
While the executive is quiet on the errors found in the bill for the battle ahead, and incase the National Assembly didn’t abandoned the proposed electoral legal framework, Civil Society Organisations have identified errors in 11 sections of the bill, similar to what happened in 2018. Others are: Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism ; Partners for Electoral Reform ; Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre ; Women Advocates Research and Documentation Centre and Nigerian Network of Non-Governmental Organizations .
He said the review identified drafting errors, repetition and cross-referencing gaps in eleven sections of the bill.
