The House of Representatives on Wednesday suspended action on the Bill for an Act to amend the Electoral Act 2010 to make provision for sequence of elections.

This followed a request by the sponsor of the Bill, Edward Pwajok, to withdraw it.

The bill, which was listed for second reading in the Order Paper of the day, included seven other lawmakers as co-sponsors.

Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal of assent to the controversial bill, the House vowed to reintroduce it.

The president had said that the amendment to the sequence of the elections in section 25 of the Principal Act may infringe on the constitutionally-guaranteed discretion of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to organise and supervise all elections.


While Mr Pwajok moved for the withdrawal of the bill, some lawmakers opposed the move.

However, the presiding officer, Deputy Speaker of the House, Yussuf Lasun, intervened and said that the sponsor of the bill had the right to withdraw it.

“Let us remind ourselves that the mover of the motion has the right to ask the presiding officer to step down his bill and this is what Pwajok has exercised,’’ Mr Lasun said.

He ruled for the withdrawal of the bill as applied by its sponsor.

After receiving bribe from buhari
Why won't he withdraw the bill

That bill would have helped us to send that old grandfather back to daura

Thunder fire his left balls

They must follow the Senate

Politics at play... it was a stupid move in the first place. cus it was selfish representing their own interest. This bill should have been presented in a way that it wont have been seen as self seeking

Where are the wailing zombies who were foaming in their mouth that PMB will be vetoed?

Levels pass levels, una hear?

What PMB wants, he gets. This is because he plays by the rules always.

On Magu, he wins. On Customs Hamed Ali, he wins. On Election Order bill, he wins.

Na only mouth Una and Saraki get. No balls!

Good move by the house. Saw hand writing on the world.

Then why heating up the polity initially, knowing fully well this would be the end result.

There's a difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives. The mace was also replaced hence the ability to resume plenary today.

Foolish senator has been paid off

So in otherwords d mace kidnapping was a success becos dat was its aim

I knew it! All this drama today at National House of Assembly and Mace to cause diversion has an hidden agenda. 2019 should hurry and come please. If Buhari thinks he is bigger than Nigeria, he is not bigger than we the citizens.
