Reveals Why Buhari Won’t Sign Electoral Bill Into Law
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said the body signs from President Muhammadu Buhari have shown that he won’t assent to the electoral amendment bill transmitted to him recently by the National Assembly.
Wike who expressed confidence that the President won’t sign the bill said Buhari will eventually come up with an excuse to reject the bill.
The Rivers State Governor added further that the bill is dead on arrival alleging that even the stakeholders within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) don’t want the President to assent the bill as it will negatively affect their interests.
Naija News reports two major amendments been proposed in the bill by the National Assembly is the compulsory use of direct primaries by political parties to choose candidates for election as well as the provision to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit election results electronically or decide otherwise.
But Governor Wike during an interview with the African Independent Television (AIT) in Port Harcourt on Thursday said he is very sure President Buhari won’t sign the bill which was transmitted to him by the National Assembly on November 18, 2021 into law.
