A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Serguis Ogun has expressed optimism that President Muhammadu will give assent to the reworked electoral act amendment bill this week.

He said that the National Assembly has given attention to the wishes and demands of the President, stressing that there was no other cogent reason not to sign the bill into law.


It will be recalled that the President had rejected the bill, picking holes with the direct primary mode of elections for political parties in choosing their candidates earlier provided by the parliament.

Reworking the bill, however, the National Assembly added indirect and consensus options to the direct primary clause and transmitted the bill to the President.

But the days are counting and the President is yet to give his assent.

Going by the earlier timetable of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC on the 2023 general elections, the first election is scheduled to hold on February 18, 2023.

Speaking exclusively to Vanguard, against the backdrop of the election timeline, Sunday, Hon. Ogun who represents Esan North-East/Esan South- East Constituency of Edo State in the Federal House of Representatives said the federal parliament may have no choice than to override the President should he fail to do what is expected of him in the coming weeks.

He said: “I am sure he will sign the bill into law this week. If he doesn’t, the NASS will have no choice but to override him. The NASS bent over to accommodate everything he requested for in his letter to us and more, what else can we do? The future of this country is not about the president but our young people hence we will do the needful.”

This is why it is not a good thing, to allow the ruling Party have a too large majority in the NAAS.
The Rubber Stamp fools in that NASS is just approving anything the inept and visionless President asks for, no scrutiny, no challenge, no intellectual input, JUST APPROVALS!

The NAAS fools have approved Nigeria into DEBTS, for the next TEN Generations to come, with little or nothing to show for it.
Imagine, they even have to water-down the Electoral Bill, hoping he would sign, instead of using their Veto, if they are convinced of what they have done on the Bill?

Ofcourse, the dictator Jihadist in Aso Rock is just planning and scheming on how he will handover to another Fulani in 2023, and he knows a free and fair election will prevent that, so he does not want to sign the Bill.

Useless Senators and so-called Reps.

Which NASS? Lawan’s NASS?

Joke of the year

This one is bed time story.

Ekuke dogs

Buhari Don over do,despite being poor in everything governance people and nass has shown him too much respect which he doesn't deserve going by his handling of the country's affairs, I think it is time he is given the humble pie to eat,the nass should override his bloated ego and move on, nonsense and ingredients

Make we hear word.

Nigerians d senators u elected are Errand boys to the president. So remove ur mind from content as such

Seems like this is the most useless of all the lawmakers we have been electing so far

Dem no born dem well to over ride Buhari. APC hallelujah boys slavishly loyal to their slave masters are controlling the national assembly. It has never been this bad.

Our last Senate President was Saraki.

Whoever is there right now is pant washer.

Failed country, failed government
Nothing works in that entrapment

We'll believe it when we see it.

You know nothing then because they never did. It was the 2nd NASS that overrided Obasanjo to pass NDDC and ICPC laws.

Very Weak, And Biased, And Sabotaged NASS..



THEY WILL STILL NOT OVERRIDE ANYTHING IN THE END..
