This confirms Bourdillion would have been running the House of Representative if Gbajabiamila were to be speaker. What a shamed!

omoowo8888:

DMerciful:
Normal typo!

Jonathan conducted a credible election and handed power peacefully to buhari jubril without a drop of human blood.Buhari doesn't want to do same.Apc politicians have been bragging that they would win the election. Their rigging method have been finalised but with the signing of the electoral amendment,it will not be possible for them.If buhari believes he will win the election in a credible method,let him sign the electoral bill.

omoowo8888:
The one we want to use was put in place by PDP, we are going to use the same act for 2019 elections and nothing will happen....for you guys to be crying foul means you had been rigging election with the electoral act of 2010

cucumbae:
What is the change that you polithiefcians promise that you want to correct after PDP 16 years of misgovernance?

omoowo8888:
It is tit for tat....if you don't like it, lagoon is readily available

cucumbae:

omoowo8888:
Hahahaha.....see an employed youth....wail me an ocean....wailing is your calling

cucumbae:

DMerciful:
This confirms Bourdillion would have been running the House of Representative if Gbajabiamila were to be speaker. What a shame!

The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, says APC house members will thwart any plan to override President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto to sign the Electoral Act into law.

PoliticsNGR gathered that Gbajabiamila, an All Progressives Congress Chieftain from Lagos told newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday that the party had more than the required number to stop the process.

He explained that for the house to override the president’s veto, it required a minimum of two-third majority of its members.

It should be recalled that President Buhari for the fourth time, declined assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill on the grounds that it was too close to the 2019 general elections to change the rules of engagement.

Gbajabiamila said that the National Assembly needed to put in more touches to the bill for it to be signed into law.

He said the president declined to assent the bill to enable many Nigerians have the opportunity to vote in cases of card reader malfunction.

“We have seen instances where the card readers have failed, what Mr. President has done is to protect everybody in Nigeria, many could be disenfranchised and we do not want that.

“If they are able to muster two-third and push it forward, there is nothing we can do but as a party, we are not going to be part of it as it makes no sense to override in the case of an important document,” he said.

The leader explained that a fire brigade approach must not be adopted saying that the amendment was too close to the elections “and that is the reason for the ECOWAS protocol.”

The lawmaker said that it was too late in the game to begin to thinker with the rules and that the APC had the numbers to stop a veto.
