Why Buhari Refused To Sign Electoral Act Bill - Keyamo by Mysteryque: 3:18pm On Dec 10, 2018 |
The Director General of the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has accused the National Assembly of putting their interests over that of Nigerians, as controversy continues to trail the rejection of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. Keyamo made the allegation while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics yesterday. “I want to say clearly to Nigerians that we got to this point because of the self-serving nature of the National Assembly,” he said. Earlier, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Buba Galadima, claimed the Buhari administration was desperate and wanted to retain power by all means. He had called on called on Nigerians and the international community to pressure the President to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law. But Keyamo described the allegations as unnecessary and explained the rationale behind the President’s decision. “The same international community they are appealing to will tell them that international conventions all over the world say that in any build-up to any election, it is wrong, it is against the international best practices to make any changes in any electoral law less than six months to any election. “If the President signs the Electoral Act Amendment Bill now, our elections will not be deemed to be credible, our elections will not be deemed to be free and fair. “If he does not sign it like he has refused to do, that is when it will be deemed free and fair,” he added. Keyamo stressed that the President’s reason that the signing of the bill was too close to the elections was in tandem with the international protocol. According to him, elections were cancelled in Kenya because of a similar situation in the country. He said, “Nigerians don’t know that the version of the bill that was transmitted to the President in August this year, which was the third time, did not include the provision regarding the card reader. “If the President does not want card reader, the President would have quickly signed that version that was sent to him in August. It was the President that pointed it out to them.” Source: http://www.nigerianeye.com/2018/12/why-buhari-refused-to-sign-electoral.html?m=1 19 Likes 4 Shares

Why are the PDP Afraid of using an Electoral law, they created and signed into Law? Does it mean all the elections, that returned them consistently for 16 years were rigged? Why are they now desperate to change it? 103 Likes 14 Shares |

I don't think they are desperate. Rather I will agree with the change because every bill is subject to ammendment as a nation progresses in time and function... Since new protocols like card readers etc have been introduced to the electoral sequence, I believe amendments should be made to cover this. Or what do you think? CilicMarin: 40 Likes 1 Share |

gurunlocker: Since 2015 that Started Zero Incident form and 100% Biometric. How many elections has the PDP won? How come Osun State had over 800, 000 Votes in the just concluded bye election, while Anambra State could only boast of a little above 200,000? How come the bye elections that returned Bayelsa State Governor had less than 150 000 votes? 10 Likes |

Buhari have always be a buck-passing or blame game president but he sensed that the electoral amendment act will not give him the undue advantage of illiterate almajiris voting comfortably for him hence refused consent. 4 Likes |
