This is an exercise in futility.

Dead on arrival.

Only INEC has got the power to determine order of elections.

Says who? The Inec has only the power of deciding the date for the Election not order of election. By the way, what are people afraid of?

that's the question and it goes for the legislators because they are the ones who decided to change the status quo.

what are the legislators afraid of?

Bunch of failures, they want to ride on Buhari's name to win election.
The reordering must stand.

Some devilish senator... Going by what we know about Nigeria and it's election processes saving the presidential vote last will help our terrible system a bid.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was established by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to among other things organize elections into various political offices in the country.

The functions of INEC as contained in Section 15, Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) and Section 2 of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended) include the following:



Organise, undertake and supervise all elections to the offices of the President and Vice-President, the Governor and Deputy Governor of a State, and to the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each state of the federation;
Register political parties in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and Act of the National Assembly;
Monitor the organization and operation of the political parties, including their finances; conventions, congresses and party primaries.
Arrange for the annual examination and auditing of the funds and accounts of political parties, and publish a report on such examination and audit for public information;
Arrange and conduct the registration of persons qualified to vote and prepare, maintain and revise the register of voters for the purpose of any election under this constitution;
Monitor political campaigns and provide rules and regulations which shall govern the political parties;
Conduct voter and civic education;
Promote knowledge of sound democratic election processes; and
Conduct any referendum required to be conducted pursuant to the provision of the 1999 Constitution or any other law or Act of the National Assembly.

The matter of election timetable re-ordering is a case of our docile lawmakers try hard to save their arses. This is how determined they can be in worrking for themselves rather than for the masses that they claim to represent. I bet this bill will never see the light of day at the executive table.

once buhari's asslicker is sighted,u don't have to be told

lawman88:
Without them, the senate still two-third majority to pass the Bill into law. So no wahala. Let buhari continue sponsoring his stooges to cause confusion. House of representatives has already passed the bill and senate have done same, shame on buhar

The bill is already passed. They are trying to raise dust so much that Bubu will have excuse not to assent

I really love the way you have placed ur observations. Those miscreants are after themselves and not the country and such a bill is dead on arrival.

Binta Garba, Adamawa-APC, said the amendment is not
healthy for the current economic situation in the country.
“Now we are having economic crisis in our hands and
instead of us to look at the welfare and wellbeing of our
people, we are looking at selfish interest in the long-run.
It is not because of Mr. President. What happens
tomorrow if you are the president, will you now want to
amend again to suit yourself? Why I’m not in support is
that the economic crisis we have on ground, we must
look into it. Only God knows how much it will cost.”

I think it's a good idea to move the elections up.

“We have 59 senators who are opposed to the inclusion of section 25 of the Electoral Act. If that division was allowed today, 59 senators would have voted to delete that purported amendment to section 25.”

a very great decision

They are all scared of losing their seats, with the way things are going the only way buhari will win 2019 election is through rigging.

I wonder oh. If you are confident of yourself,why border about order of election.
Besides what concern this with economy?

Who cares?

Instead of fighting to procure dividend of democracy to the people they are thinking of 2019,how to return to seat.

They lawmakers are afraid because they don't want to associate themselves with failure.. Many of them may lose the election if the presidential and federal legislative election are fix same day. They are trying to protect themselves from losing the election because of Buhari..
