Where is the copy of the letter written to the National assembly?

Cos this statement is neither from presidency directly not the national assembly but media opinion

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 Gbajabiamila 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.

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.

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

cedarcedar:
Something has to be done asap, we can't just sit and watch this happen. NASS must override it or they are corrupt. The youth must rise... The bill must be signed or NASS USE VETO power.
Solidarity forever!!!
For the greatest gaga..

Timmi:


And you believe your PDP worst thieve machinery propaganda? What a people

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.

LibertyRep:
Direct or indirect primary should be the prerogative of the parties.

Those who smuggled direct primary into the electoral bill did so to generate unnecessary bottleneck and scuttle the entire process.

They all knew the plot from the beginning, it was a well scripted movie.

If the NASS meant well, they should quickly reconvene , expunge the direct primary section and represent to the president.

Everyone knows they dare not override the president.

wink2015:
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
