“Mr President is dangerously setting up the country and the people for political destabilisation in 2019. Nothing of the excuses of President Muhammadu Buhari that there are observed errors when he, for the fourth time, sent the bill back to the National Assembly has any iota of credibility nor evidential persuasion for the Nigerian electorate.”
At a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, the Presidential Candidate of ACPN, called on the President to rescind his decision, warning that it was capable of destabilising the country.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the excuses of the President for not completing the process that will give Nigeria one of the soundest electoral laws in the world is an assault on our democracy and must be rejected roundly by all Nigerians,” she said.
The President has rejected the Amendment of the Electoral Act Bill 2018 four times.
