As President Buhari seek reelection into office in 2019, many who had missed the old looting days had hoped that the PDP will bounce back and restart the era of "Share The Money". Even Nigerians who are not too impressed at the rate of fixing the mess the past administration left behind had all been expecting the oppositions to mount a serious issue based campaign to confront the Buhari Administration.

The PDP floated the Young Candidate kite, but abandoned the narrative and settled for an over 70 years. They tried the Atiku being an economic powerhouse returning from Dubia with a Plan - only to discover it is all about selling NNPC and other assets, with outrageous assumptions and figures. Including being a 6 year plan, yet are campaigning against a 3+ efforts. How about kite of Buhari not being Fulani enough, nobody is buying it either. Apart from fully adopting Nnamdi Kanu's treasonable rhetoric, talking points and blueprints, the PDP's latest rallying point is to stampede Mr. President to sign a new Electoral Law barely 2 months to the General Election. The question is why are they exhausting so much energy pushing for it?

President Buhari in 3 occasions has declined to sign the bill, among other issues duly communicated to the National Assembly were; the duplicity and conflicts with existing provisions of the constitution, the insertions that sought to strip INEC's powers to schedule and organize elections. Saraki's efforts to order the elections in a sequence that he can curry favours across party lines when he thought he will be the PDP candidate. Others factors that were raised also included the fact that the 2019 election has also been kick-started based on the current law, so signing the new law will bring conflict in case of dispute - do you judge disagreements with the old or the new law. Trust Nigerians politicians, they will quote the one that favours their case since both played roles in the process.

So, why all of a sudden, the PDP and the Atiku crew are so unhappy with the very same law they have used to run and organize elections for years? Why all the talks that elections will not be considered credible if their new copy is not signed? Why are they pushing for confusion and conflicts on the electoral process? Why all the hate speech, insults and abuse on the person of Mr. President? Why are they bent of spewing hate, provocations, peddling death rumours? When will Atiku and the PDP come out strongly to condemn the shameless acts of their members and supporters wishing Death on the President of Nigeria? Calling him a Clone. Is it how they hope to win the election?

Nigerians must remain vigilant. This is our country. We will do all that it takes to defend it against forces outside and within. The 2019 General Election will come and go - Nigeria will remain and continue on the path of growth. Peace will reign. The will of the People will Prevail.

God bless Nigeria!

It’s funny how The NASS did not pass this law since 2015 but just wake up few months to election and starts making noise about the electoral act.... Let the PDP publish the content of the Electoral Act for the public to Judge...

Oga please just help us shut up.. You seem not to have read the bill.. The bill centre's on the inclusion of Card readers in the constitution. The bill in particular will make our electoral process transparent in the future..
Nigerians want to grow. You and your APC cannot keep us in the dark my man.
Maybe because things are well for you, you don't want to consider the plight of others.

The 2019 General Election process was started with the current law. If you sign a new guidelines now, in case of dispute which of the law will you use as a guideline to judge? Candidates will just be referencing whichever that favours their case.

There is nothing wrong if the law starts for subsequent elections.

We need to salute the guys working behind the scene to review this particular Bill for PMB. They are thorough and they understand the game plan of Mesujamba and his cohorts very well.

Before u start insulting the President, you should know that African Union Protocol strongly disapproves any amendment or introduction of new electoral laws three months to election. PMB is wise to hv rejected d bill.

We all know Nass is playing a game. The bill was initially deliberately delayed, Card reader deliberately omitted. They wanted it signed by d President to perfect their rigging plan. Baba after serious screening discovered this and returned back to them.

As it is, we will use the Electoral law used to conduct 2015 election to conduct 2019 election. This, we will still use card reader in 2019. So, nothing has changed as long as we abide by the rules.

If the electoral bill prepared and used to conduct last election by PDP is good ( as they always say), why is it not good no more?

It had issues. Until they get it right it is not has not started counting. Don't forget the whole thing started with Saraki trying to cut down INEC's powers over election and also reorganize the sequence when he thought he will jump over and become PDP candidate. He never factored Atiku and his Dollars and Wike preferring Tambuwal.

It's funny how the so-called educated people are against what will make our electoral process transparent. I can't believe I'm in the same country with these people. Funny enough, these people would go to church on Sundays or Mosques on Fridays... Spits on you all that are against such a nice bill!

You don't change the rules in the middle of the game. How can INEC start an electoral process with one law and conclude with another?

Gbam!

Saraki thought he was going to be PDP candidate. From the day Buhari refused to allocate positions and appointments to him, he started scheming. Now we know why it took so long to appoint ministers.

PDP supporters always dragging in Religious and Tribal sentiments into political discussions. PDP used these laws for yes, suddenly elections will not be credible if we don't adopt the new copy. Relax abeg. After they have resolved all the conflicts, it will be used for subsequent elections.

Because Buhari is too dishonorable!!!! The old electoral act has too many loop hole for a dishonest criminal like Buhari to take advantage of

Which law did they start with and when did they actually start the 2019 elections processes proper? Electoral Bill that was sent to the President since March and he kept on rejecting? Remember before the President was elected he always complained that our electoral system is bad. And, let even me ask you a question, between the National Assembly and the President, who's supposed to carry out electoral reforms?

The electoral bill sent in March was to favour personal ambitions of selected individuals. The president has the right to withheld ascent if a law was drafted for personal reasons.

So using the same laws PDP used in organizing all their election is now "Guys are Planning"?

Here you have said a figure of speech about rain, if it is Buhari you will accuse him of Flood

So PDP ran Nigeria with laws that has loopholes and yet you want them back to institute more loopholes in the system - I See.

You conveniently left the main question I asked you... I rest my case

Why the sudden appearance of sister Nneka Calistus Kanu? Why the surge in Boko Haram Attacks? Why the rise in kidnappings? Why the attacks on INEC and the electoral processes? Why the attacks on social empowerment programs, why..., why..., why...?

I also learnt they don't want the use of card readers and the governorship and national assembly elections should be conducted first.

All these and many more are for them to be able to determine the presidential election or cause confusion and make the election impossible which will later be blamed on Buhari.

Election is a Process. It has started. The bill from the National Assembly Bill is not yet ready, their job is not complete and not the final copy, so the March comment is irrelevant.

First they want to strip power from INEC, then they try to assume Powers to Lord over INEC in Electrol process. Then they went for money to strip cash form INEC. Now the issue is that some of the provisions they inserted are in conflict with other sections and provisions of the Constitution.

If the National Assembly are interested in fixing the Electoral Law, they should fix what the President has highlighted and get it ready for subsequent election.

Buhari pointed out the deliberate loop holes created in the new one to satisfy one man ambition.

Buhari has not signed the new draft because all the loopholes are still there. He has taking the time to highlight it for them. First let them fix it if the want. If the National Assembly is sincere, they will not be sending half baked bill to a hardworking President.

And if Atiku/Saraki/PDP are sincere, they will not be stampeding the President to sign a Bill filled with loopholes, contradictions and one that brings confusion to the electoral process.

Why can't Saraki and his Gang of thieves ammend the Act to come into effect after the 2019 elections to avoid confusion?

Why the desperation to have it effected 1 Month to the General election?

Is the World ending Next year?

My bro, you've forgotten that STARBOY PYO is a Professor of law and an erudite SAN?

As long as he's there, 10 NASS under Bukola Saraki are too small to dig constitutional pit and trap for Buhari

I am really happy he has been very patient, thorough and careful in handling the National Assembly.

I am happy he did not sign it. It is definitely a Trap. They know they can't win, the plan is to cause confusion, dispute the outcome and blame it on Mr. President.

FarahAideed:

So, they just discovered that the electoral law has loopholes in the three years of Buhari out of a total of nearly 20 years?

Saraki scheme his way from the beginning of this administration to be able to engineer Nigeria for his selfish ends. He has worked against rather than for this administration right from the onset, but God has thwarted all his plans.

Not only this: All laws not made in the interest of the people and the country should be rejected by PMB.

Pdp are only playing to the gallery.

You sent a bill 3 times, it was rejected due to some controversies on it, yet with no amendments/adjustments and you expect the presidency to sign it 4th time..

Same electoral late bills almost put Kenya in chaos last year. Both party were just quoting the one favouring them. " The law is clear"..

We can’t blame the President for not assenting the bill.... My Question is Why is NASS and PDP making this look like it’s the only Bill PMB is have rejected since 2015..... They kept mute when PMB rejected the PIB,but now that they’re the number 1 beneficiaries of the Bill they’re shouting and wailing

The question is, how is this Buhari’s problem? When did Buhari become the judiciary? So every business prtnership or government process that started many years ago must wait to be completed before a new law comes into place?

So let’s say for instance, Abortion law intends to be changed from Illegal to legal, so FG should first wait for those who were convicted of it when it was crime, to finish serving their sentence, before making it legal? When did such become the problem of the presidency?

In fact, what is surprising is that they are not interested in fixing the Bill. They just want it signed despite obvious discrepancies.

The aim seem to be geared toward confusing the current process. For me I want the bill fixed and signed for subsequent elections.
