Senate Re-Introduces Electoral Amendment Bill by aminulive: 12:05pm On Mar 27, 2018
@POLITICSNGR

Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk this afternoon reveals that the Nigerian Senate has launched a fresh move to amend the Electoral Act 2010.

A new bill on the amendment is to be presented and passed for first reading today, according to the Order Paper for today’s plenary. The House of Representatives re-introduced the bill last week.

The first version of the bill, which was introduced in the House of Representatives, had been passed by the National Assembly but vetoed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The bill had sought to reorder the sequence of polls during a general election, generating huge controversy over the allegation that it was targeted at Buhari in the 2019 elections.

The bill advocates for the National assembly elections to come first, then the State house of assembly and Governorship elections and lastly, the presidential elections.

It would be a shame if the legislators succeed in overriding the president's veto, considering the fact that his party hold majorities in both houses. If that bill is passed into law, the presidency should take it to the supreme court for interpretation given that the president's objection to it is on constitutional grounds

Look at what our leaders are fighting over; electoral maneuvering

When education, health and infrastructure is on the backslide, looters are walking free while the poor suffer the effect of this decay

God's justice be upon whoever did and is doing this to this nation

Buhari is not the owner of this country, therefore his opinion is not the law.

That said, both Buhari and the national assembly are pursuing their separate selfish agenda. Nothing altruistic about this fight.
