The real issue here is the electronic transmission of results buhari and his supporters are scared of it.

81 in private.

When it comes to actual voting in the full glare of the camera, the number will reduce to an inconsequential status.

All it takes is to dust their files with the EFCC.

That's not the issue.
Some of you can't seem to read the plain reasons in political issues. It boils down to leverage. Direct primaries afford a candidate the opportunity to test is or her popularity directly without being subjected to the influence of power brokers.the senators are in support because they feel there governor's have an undue influence and control over their nominations or ticket. While the power brokers feel that indirect primaries are needed for consensus and better being able to present a candidate acceptable to all. Both sides have their advantages and also their disadvantages.
But in this particular aspect. It's all about 2023.
Tinubus group needs the direct primaries for him to stand a chance. While his opponents needs the Indirect primaries to finish him totally

Following the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to decline assent to the 2021 Amended Electoral Bill, 81 out of 109 Senators on Tuesday indicated interest to veto the President.

ABN TV had brought you a report that the Senate dissolved into a closed session at 1:57 pm on Tuesday to discuss the reasons given by the President for declining his assent the 2010 Electoral Act (amendments) Bill 2021.

The president, in a letter to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, cited insecurity and the cost of conducting direct primaries in political parties, as his reasons for rejecting the bill.

The letter was read out by Mr Lawan at the start of plenary on Tuesday.

In the bill, passed by the National Assembly in October, the lawmakers passed that political parties should adopt direct mode of primaries in choosing candidates for elective offices.

This provision had stirred rift between the lawmakers and governors – who disagreed with the idea of direct primaries.

The lawmakers were about to consider and pass the 2022 budget when Mr Sekibo asked that the Senate goes into an executive session to discuss the president’s veto.

“I want to call this Senate to go into a closed-door session to discuss the president’s letter today, “he said.

The lawmaker said it is important that they discuss the issue and decide the next line of action before embarking on Christmas break.

Until otherwise, they remain rubber stamp.

Militant30:
The fear of Buhari is beginning to fade away like the stars of the morning.

The only problem now is that the brown teeth of Lagos still think He will be president of Nigeria not knowing that Nigerians are ready to give him the beating of his life on election day.



Let them support bubu at detriment of their own polical future nah. For now buhari has put their future in the hands of their state governors and trust me 1/4 won't scale through.
Nonsense Obojo eye

Akwamkpuruamu:
E remain House of Reps

Tinubu urchins hypocrisy stinks

now they're praying for independent national assembly just because the dead political ambition of their god Tinubu is in danger
Hahahaha
Same people hailing the rubber stamp senate as the best ever are now wishing it was Saraki
funny sets of urchins and criminals.
I don't like Buhari but I love the way he's teaching these brown teeth drug lord and his urchins gworo and tuwo politics

moral lessons: be careful how you support evil because it might be your turn one day

Please don't bring in tribalism. There's no petty North or South in it.
Nigerians did not elect Mr Malami. The Senate can act to protect democracy and the national interest in this case where the opinion of an unelected official is holding the President captive.

[s]Baloney!!

Whoever heard of a commander-in-chief held captive by his political appointee? What is he using? swords, gun or lockchain? Or maybe he has his nude pics or that of his wife?

You praise-singers are simply ridiculous[/s].

FreeStuffsNG:

Your response adds no value to my comment.
It will be better you quit my mentions since you find it difficult to comprehend, sir

Agbegbaorogboye:
What are the names of the 81?
That we may put them in Nigeria's honour roll.
