Ita Enang: Why Buhari Refused To Sign Electoral Act Amendment Bill by Nobody: 5:52pm On Dec 13, 2018
The Presidency on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari did not sign the Electoral Amendment Bill because doing so might cause confusion and lead to anarchy.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Ita Enang, said this on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television Breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.

He also disclosed that the President did not consult the other 91 political parties before refusing to sign the electoral bill because he needed to act in the best interest of the nation.

“Now, let me get to the other issue that Mr President alluded to, in not assenting to the bill. It is getting too close to election time and it will be dangerous to bring in a new electoral law at this time when the process of election has commenced from August, September, October this year. If you come to conclusion under a new law. It will cause confusion and may lead to anarchy.

“I think that what the President is to do is to take the best of discretion and from his vantage point as President of the country, to look at international best practices,” he said.

Various political parties and public interest groups have criticised the President for refusing to sign the bill.

Ordinarily, they know they can't defeat Buhari in a transparent contest. They therefore decided to introduce confusion in order to win through The backdoor (court).

First Step in Losing the battle is their inability to introduce the confusion

Forget that thing...

It's the fear of defeat.

If the tide forcefully goes against him and the signing of the bill will give him a lifeline. Will he not sign it?

It is a lazy man that would say because of an imaginary wolf he won't go out to work?there is always an excuse for a failure,it is true President Buhari brought anarchy to your Maggie kitchen family?

Don't you consider yourself quite stupid to be waiting on some one you have been shouting and complaining about for donkey years?most especially in democratic Federal system?one of the only ways to get out a tight box is to invent your way out (innovation),think for yourself Zombie and don't align yourself with the third eye blind crowd.

It's on record that GEJ signed the amended 2010 electoral act into law 2 days to the election which gave a go ahead for INEC to make use of card reader..

Same APC urged GEJ to sign it then and accused him of being afraid of card reader introduction which gave INEC the discretion to use card reader

They later applauded the process after buhari won the election

Btw 2 days and 66 days, which is closer to election

From the onset, PMB have been sceptical about signing the new electoral bill that will strengthen the electoral process

He kept rejecting it with flimsy excuses from sequences of election to this latest one


The new electoral bill if signed will strengthen the electoral process and make card reader mandatory and not optional
It will remove the Lacuna faced by the court where varying judgements were given on use of card reader

While some courts nullified elections cos card reader was not used, others upheld it despite non use of card reader.. E.G is the rivers election


Secondly, the new act would have help to match accredited voters with votes as no incidence paper will be allowed .
It would have eased the transmission of result immediately than collating from wards to LG to state to Federal which will give room for manipulation of already counted votes

The idea of waiting for one results from kano or rivers while results are collated will be eliminated

The idea of using results from one state to increase the votes of another candidate or party will be eliminated as all votes will be transmitted simultaneously..

Refusal to sign means someone is afraid and wants to make use of these loopholes

Moreso, the electoral bill is applicable to all political parties.. The president ought to have consulted other political parties to get their inputs before rescinding..

This was same process GEJ did before signing the bill into an act ...

As it is now, pmb is having no inputs in strengthening the institution of the electoral process..

The election will not be free and fair, Buhari will be declared winner and the country will burn down.

Who ever wants such an abysmal failure to continue as President, is worst than a failure. This is a President who has held no Press Conference since elected. The country is run by morons under cover.
