They talk about high cost, I think INEC can push back the cost to each political part that wants to do primaries

Then that should be a clause and the federal government should as well provide security

All this electoral amendment bill should have been done by southern leaders like Obasanjo and Jonathan while they were in power.

The way Obasanjo and Jonathan play down restructuring the same way they also played the electoral amendment bill

But they left this strategic assignment to a leaders from the core north.

How then do you expect a core sectional leader from Fulani tribe to support the bill and give his assent

I knew it. It would never favour the north if signed. They're the father of all riggers globally. After all the election results had been announced and well monitored on the telly. You'd now hear that borno inec officials are just arriving Abuja 2 days later, where results are being announced. They'd now be citing logistics and bad road network as the reason for arriving late meanwhile they were somewhere in abuja thumb printing the ballot to make up for southern votes differences. They'd now tell the whole world that borno where boko haram isn't allowing them enjoy peace with many already displaced, recording over one million votes. I've always said this, buhari can't be trusted

I can now understand military takeovers resurging all over West Africa.Our so called democratic leaders tend to become so so autocratic after winning second elections.Just imagine how PMB has become so insesitive to the feelings and mood of Nigerians? the worst thing about this all is that the man has effectively pocketed the national assembly to the extent they are less than a rubber stamp with the speaker and SP reduced to errand boys in the aso rock kitchen

The cost was to be borne by the Parties as INEC was to merely supervise.This same man citing security concerns is authorising a national census next year

Who read which Bill? Buhari or who?
How can someone who doesn't have WAEC Certificate understand the contents of an Electoral Bill.

Please spare me some bull crap. One day Bush meat go catch Hunter. Let them keep misbehaving in this Hell hole called Nigeria

This nonsense is just too much.

electronic transmission of results will allow the west to try and rig the elections to put in a leader that will answer to them.

cassyrooy:
Another lie to keep the political class gerontocratic and retrogressive.

Fxckers

The gigantum gaga!

The insecurity he promised to fight or is there another insecurity?

Today he withholds assent to the bill based on insecurity tomorrow he postpones elections due due to the same insecurity

Augustinecedar:


It has no direct impact on the general elections. It even gives room for manipulation like in the case of Edo and Anambra of late

So u think the electoral bill is only about direct primaries?

U don't know it involves other things and transmission of results?

Baba only pointed at that as an excuse.. Let them take it off and resend.

Nigerians should understand that this is a tactic to keep us in perpetual servitude to the political class. Electoral process where the majorities have their say and the minorities have their ways. An electoral process where the clock of our progress is continually reversed. We cannot keep passing the chains binding us from generations to generations. If their is a better time for Nigerians to speak up loudly it is now. A repetition of Endsars protest to herald the signing of this epoch bill is necessary. Every problem we face today emanates from the way we choose who leads us. As independent as INEC should be, results from elections should never be altered or even seen by any soul not directly involved in its collation. Buhari did not study anything. Femi Adesina did and did so to please the caucus members. Buhari had no time to study any document. I rest my case.

excellence44:
Why not over ride the veto? The NASS can reconvene tomorrow and speedily pass the bill again if truly they are serious.
The problem is not just buhari but stooges who see themselves as buhari slaves at the national assembly instead of elected representatives of the people.
History will forever remember Ahmed Lawal Gbajamila as the worst set of leaders the NASS has ever had.
Anyway, expecting any good thing from buhari is like waiting for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle. We will endure this failed regime till it's expiry date.

This regime is our collective punishment for wrong voting and poor attitude towards voting.
We shall overcome.

the idiocy of Nigerians is on permanent oscillatory motion … I won’t be cowed to believe in their redemption.. 2023 a lot of diapers wearing youths will be rigged in power ..

We can predict the robot.

He still won't sign. You think this bill came out today.

onuman:


Nigeria copied US type of democracy. ..
Why will Nigeria abandon the more transparent direct primary in favour for quasi appointment of political office holders through indirect party primaries?

more transparent direct primaries that produce Andy Uba right?

Shikini:
I now believe Gov Wike.

In his interview with Channels, Wike said Buhari is not comfortable with Electronic Transmission of results so some APC juggernauts deliberately smuggled in direct primaries for political parties to provide Buhari a reason to reject the entire electoral amendment Bill.

Brethrens, the main reason for rejecting the bill is "Electronic Transmission of results" and not the so-called direct primaries.

President Buhari is a scam. Remember, his lackey, the Senate President had earlier rejected Electronic Transmission of results but only succumbed after widespread condemnation.

.

Wike that you now believed, his party was in power for sixteen good years but never saw reasons for introduction electronic transmission of results. Or are we saying that technology just came into the world after defeat of his party.
While in full grips of power in his state for good eight years he superimpose local governments elections, he never for once saw how good electronic transmission of results are talk less of him even trying similar thing like El Rufai has done in Kaduna.

Oga this is not the first time the bill was amended, they keep on amending the electorial bill as new discoveries for conducting a free and fair election unfolds to accommodate the new discoveries.

muykem:
You guys have blindfolded by politics of hatred being played in Nigeria. Our governors irrespective of parties rejected direct primary because it will refuce their power. This is the time, labour, youth and civil society should mobilise and demonstrate against government decision. Our problem is not Buhari but governors include Wike.

Direct or indirect primaries are all subject to manipulation. Example APC direct primaries in Anambra and Zamfara states.

Unfortunately, your father who has WAEC certificate has never achieved an atom size what a certificate less Buhari has. Worst of all the unfortunate father unfortunately gave birth to an unfortunate child.
Your anger is actually coming from responsible respected anger. But just chill!

Now, all Nigerians will pay for the mistake!!! War on democracy if you know you know!

Nigerians need to take back their country from this Jihadist.
Anything less, is a waste of time.

Focus on what is happening today, the past is a lesson of history, today is what will determine your tomorrow.
The errors of PDP should not be repeated by Buhari otherwise, there is not reason to have voted out PDP, if all we get is same of the same.

Buhari lied to Nigerians on so many things, when he was seeking their Vote, he therefore, is A FRAUD.
Hos Govt is worse than that of PDP, at least under PDP, Nigerians could buy Rice at #4,500 per bag (now it is #36,5000 under Buhari!)
Bag of Beans was #25,000, now it is over #150,000! Oil, Garri, Yams, Plantain and many other foodstuff of the common man are unattainable, under this evil Buhari.

When PDP was in Power, as useless as they were, we did not have Fulani terrorists, which Buhari nick-named as "bandits", killing dozens of people EVERY DAY, in our country.
It was this Buhari Jihadist that imported his evil brothers from Mali, Guinea, Niger Republic and other countries, to come and be terrorising Nigerians, in Nigeria.
Buhari should be made to face the ICC, for Crimes against Humanity, once he leaves Office in 2023.

kulrunsman79:
The calamity that befell Nigeria as a country through the emergence of baba Buhari can never be quantified using any known Measurements Procedure. Buhari is a true definition of a DISASTER!

Mr man receive sense from anywhere you can get it. Buhari is not the problem but everyone including you that doesn't see anything good at all in everything Buhari does. Buhari failed because he refused to work with some people he referred to as thieves. Actually they are, but he was unable to manage them, reason they constitutes a security and economic sabotaging menace against his government.

The mafians has discovered him a toothless dog that cannot kill a fly that's why they do anyhow because he stopped them from illegal mining of gold and other minerals across the north. These so called bandits are formally sites guards at illegal mining sites.

The solution is to give the mafians and their foreign counterparts the chance to continue their business and free the "no fly zone" in Zamfara state since he cannot 'obasanjolised' them. Simple.

It was the Same Buhari that said that he belongs to nobody but now we've seen where he belongs. The political class in Nigeria always gang up against the helpless poor masses.

Always looking for excuses by all means.

Well it's the government of the people, if the masses kept quiet, they will succeed with their evil plan but if the masses would protest against it, then they have no option but to succumb to the demand of the masses like the endsars. Jokers everywhere

Blitzerz:
Liar.
Apc can't survive free and fair elections.

Continue deceving yourself.

Nonsense!

What occupied PDP's attention for 16yrs by not doing all that you all clamour for for today?
