The Senate of the United States of America (USA) has identified the delay in signing the Electoral Amendment Bill as one of the major obstacles to the conduct of the 2019 general elections and has urged the Federal Government to finalise it before the elections.

It made the resolution following a motion moved by Senator Bob Menendez, a Democratic senator representing New Jersey and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.


While asking the Federal Government to respect the impartiality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the lawmakers also called on the Federal Government to take necessary steps to facilitate elections that are credible, transparent, and peaceful.

The U. S. Senate said steps would include providing adequate funding, sensitising the voters, and take necessary actions to punish electoral offenders through the establishment of the Electoral Offences Commission and Tribunal.

The senators also raised concerns over the recently concluded governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun where, it said, security agencies displayed partisanship.


“During the Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial elections in July 2018 and September 2018, respectively, there were concerning incidents in which some elements of Nigeria’s security agencies displayed partisanship and a lack of objectivity, which risks escalating tensions within the country.”

While reaffirming the support of the United States towards ensuring a peaceful, electioneering process in the country, the U.S. Senate said that collaboration between civil society organisations “was a key factor that contributed to successful elections in 2015”.

While moving the motion, Menendez said, “I am introducing this resolution to send a signal that the U.S. Senate is carefully watching the conduct of all actors leading up to the February 2019 elections.

US is saying that our security agencies are partisan and cannot be trusted. They are weeping over the daylight robbery in Ekiti and Osun.

Who cares? I am a correct Nigerian and proud Igbo man. I say the truth and fear no one

So far this thread is against Buhari's fraud, it can never make front page. I can bet anything on it

If he refuses to sign it we Nigerians are giving US the go ahead to come and recolonize shikenan

May God punish anybody that will nt abide by the truth, due to their selfish interest be u buhari, atiku, apc, pdp,Bmc,zombies,etc nonsense#

So because an outsider "urged" you to do something, that means it is the right thing to do for the moment?

They can only urge, "the Presidency" still holds the power of discretion.

If the legislature doesn't like that, let them circumvent the presidency.

Who amends electoral forms just few "months" before elections?

Almost all news outlet are partisan, but Nairaland and the mods has taken theirs to another level, they can’t hide their biasment, they are so shameless and heartless.

Saraki is truly the James Bond 007 of Nigerian Politics!

OreMI22:
Buhari is a SCAM and has NO INTEGRITY whatsoever!

Buhari is a sweet-tongued conman and he wants to rig the 2019 elections.

Buhari will not sign any laws that will make it difficult to rig the elections because he knows it is the only way to illegitimately cling to power.

Nigerians and the international community must be ready to defend the sanctity of the peoples votes from Buhari's evil machinations in 2019.

Yea. N he will n succeed !! Let pdp v d taste of rigging !!!

Mydd44, Lalasticlala and OAM4J...This is a FP worthy news.

Haba...

Lalasticlala.This is front page material

they should come to Nigeria to finalize it now. as if they have sort out their own problems. finalize amendment 2minths to election.

If APC lack any is common sense its will end sooner PDP will rule come 2019.
