President Muhammadu Buhari does not have any excuse for not signing the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. Nyesom Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says President Muhammadu Buhari does not have any excuse for not signing the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. Wike, who said this on Sunday, argued that contrary to claims that the President is holding back due to the confusion over direct and indirect primaries, the main issue remains the electronic transmission of results. The governor added that because there are opportunities for clauses in a bill to be further amended, the President has no excuse why he could not have signed the bill and called for sections to be revisited.

The Rivers State Governor said based on the constitution, the National Assembly has the right to override President Buhari by two-third of the two chambers to veto the President’s decline. He, however, expressed dismay over the fact that the leadership of the National Assembly cannot put in the agenda of the two chambers that they will override, veto Presidents decline.
