Electoral Bill: Senate To Consult With House of Reps, Before Deciding Next Step by Nobody: 12:28pm On Dec 22, 2021
Resolution of the Senate's Closed-door session

The Senate has jettisoned its plans to override President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto of the Electoral Amendment Bill, 2021, despite its repeated threats to move against him.

The decision of the Senate, followed an outcome of its Closed-door session, where it resolved to consult with the House of Representatives in January, before taking a decision.

With the sudden U-turn, the highly-anticipated override of the veto may have reached a dead end.

SOURCE

In a rowdy sesiion, the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan explained that the House of Representatives had proceeded on recess, making it impossible to take appropriate action for now.

Discussions on the President's refusal of the Bill will commence next year.

You will recall, that the House of Reps adjourned plenary until January 18th next year, barring all Committees from sitting until the House is reconvened.

Good. They're the elders of the parliament. They should consult and let's have a closure on this issue before the end of January.
If they're convinced that it's in the best interest of the nation, they should do the needful. It's the beauty of democracy that no unelected official can hold both the executive and the legislature down.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria forever.

So if Buhari doesn't like a bill personally, it doesn't get passed?

Is there anything these people are not telling us? The way politicians fear Buhari is unprecedented.
Anything they want to say about Buhari for fear they won't mention his name they will just say Presidency. Nobody dates mention Buhari name. What is happening?
Senate should do their work and allow rep to do theirs. They only want to meet rep out of fear.
Does Buhari have a charm Igbos call Ebube Agu?
