The ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to urgently reconvene the National Assembly to enable the passage of the Electoral Amendment Act Bill.

The APC in a statement released by its acting national publicity secretary, Yekini Nabena, on Friday, August 17, said the Electoral Amendment Bill is alive and waiting assent.

Nabena also alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party is hiding under the “yet to be signed bill” to draw attention away from the treasonable actions of the Senate President for refusing to reconvene the National Assembly.

He said: “The Electoral Amendment Bill passed by the National Assembly is alive and awaiting assent. However, assent to Bills in all democratic governments reflects the prudence and discretion of the president in balancing the powers of key constitutional bodies and understanding the concerns of the executive.”

“While we strongly condemn the abuse of office by the Senate President backed by his PDP cohorts in sabotaging the executive, specifically INEC, all well-meaning Nigerians have a duty to speak up and ensure that the National Assembly performs its constitutional role and not serve an individual’s personal interest and sinister ends of the opposition PDP.

We call on all Nigerians, civil society and indeed the international community to resist the ongoing travesty and legislative rascality being perpetuated by the Senate President and the PDP.

The sanctity of our electoral system is being threatened by this orchestrated sabotage and deliberate attempt to weaken INEC as we prepare for General Elections in 2019. The National Assembly must be convened immediately,” Nasbena said.

The APC’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has called on lawmakers of the ruling party to do all within their powers to ensure that the National Assembly reconvenes.

This call came after Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara adjourned plenary in July shortly after the police laid a siege to the residences of the nation’s number three citizen and Ike Ekweremadu, his deputy.

Oshiomhole, however, criticised the adjournment, adding that it is slowing down the progress of the current administration.

They need each other to bring about the good governance.

Saraki is just like Jack bower

If he likes he should reconvene in 2020, Saraki will still be impeached. Mark my word.

nah their wahala...... Saraki is just like CR7 who conquer 9ja.. Like 4 saraki ,share 4 buhari.

No we are not ready to reconvene now maybe next year.

Since APC wants to dance Naked in the Rain, Saraki has made the ground muddy for everyone to get Dirty, I don’t know why APC thinks they can get away with anything knowing fully well that those who built the foundation of Nigeria Politics are in PDP. Make he kukuma tear make everybody know say difference dey between Executive and Legislature. Crying like a wounded lion and playing the victim card will not change anything. Carry your own cross. PDP has theirs to face.

How does reopening the house help in achieving good governance..... Let them wait for the time as stated.

All these toothless dogs should just keep quiet for once.
Saraki has spoken and not even Oshiomole or Buhari can force NASS to reconvene.


Dem go beg Saraki last last.

It's all about your personal gains

I'm in big mess and seriously need advice. Check my page please and advice me on what to do thanks

As if it's today that the bill was sent to the executive.

Shut the fukk up dude

Why is it difficult for the Senate President to reconvene the house for the interest of Nigerians and most especially for hinge free 2019 general election.
What will be will be. He should stop this game.

Saraki has locked up the national assembly and kept the key in his pocket.

Not even the president can open it. That is real power.

Its like these apc pipu and zombies are still underestimating the brain and sense of saraki........una go soon learn

Useless party of fraudulent rogues
