Buhari’s Veto On Electoral Bill: APC Senators Vow To Block Pdp’s Override by Buterflyle0: 8:53pm On Dec 09, 2018 |
The battle will be between Senators of the All Progressives Congress, APC and those of the opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as there are moves by the anti- Buhari Senators to override his veto. Vanguard gathered that the matter which would come up during the Executive session tomorrow where the decision of the next line of action would be taken, following the rejection of the Passed Electoral Bill, would have the Senators disagree sharply along party lines. President Buhari’s letter where he declined signing the Electoral ( Amendment ) Bill 2018 on the grounds that it was capable of derailing preparations for 2019 elections would be read to the Senators tomorrow because the letter got to the National Assembly on Friday when there was no sitting in both chambers. Senators on the platform of the APC who spoke separately with Vanguard have vowed that they would stop their colleagues in the PDP if there was such a move against the backdrop that the opposition party has no such required number to override the President’s veto. Speaking with Vanguard on the next line of action and whether the Senators would override the President’s veto, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, PDP, Enugu East said, ” When we get to sitting, maybe in an Executive session, we will definitely decide on the next line of action.” On his part, the Deputy Minority leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, PDP, Taraba South, simply said that they would do that “if we have the number.” Also speaking with Vanguard, a very strong supporter of President Buhari, Senator Ovie Omo- Agege, APC, Delta Central who dismissed any such move, said that there was no way they will allow Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the PDP Senators to carry out such an act at the Senate hallowed chamber. Senator Omo – Agege said, “As a caucus, we the senators of APC extraction will not allow saraki and his PDP crew to humiliate Mr President. We will not allow any override. They don’t have 73 votes in the senate to carry out their threat. “You must understand that Mr President has no problems with the content of the bill as passed. His problem is with the timing and the chaos the bill could generate where it to become law. Those who support the bill like myself are happy that it would not be signed into law and be used.” Also speaking with Vanguard, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, APC, Yobe East said, “President Muhammadu Buhari’s reasons for not signing it are genuine.” On his part, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, APC, Lagos East has vowed that the Progressive Senators would block any move by the National Assembly to Veto President Muhamadu Buhari’s refusal to once again sign the recent amendments to the Electoral Act Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/12/buharis-veto-on-electoral-bill-apc-senators-vow-to-block-pdps-override/ 13 Likes |

This bill would hold no water at the end of the day. Nigerians say no to changing of rules in the middle of the game, the present electoral act was crafted and signed by PDP government(and adjourned to be OK by all) we stick with this on this election 67 Likes 7 Shares |

With this, the opposition should simply insist on no use of card readers since we all want to be stupid... The violence that will be precipitated on election day will be unimaginable... He who has ear.. Let him hear cos the security apparatus will be too stretched to make any meaningful attempt for widespread rigging by the ruling party.. 6 Likes |

Buhari knows the election would be more difficult to be rigged in his favour via incident form voting instead of electronic accreditation, that's why he can't sign the bill. After he got 10m votes through that means in 2015. 9 Likes 1 Share |

To get the required number of senators is very easy, just tell Atiku to move dollars from one hand to another and the rest would become history. Trust Aremu on that. |
