Following the refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Electoral Bill, it has been reported that Senator Abdullahi Adamu from APC, representing Nasarawa West disclosed that he is happy that the President did not sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.
Adamu reportedly stated that, “It is strange and unfair to come up with a law regulating how parties conduct their elections. I support the President for not signing the bill and I minced no words on the floor of the Senate.”
He opined that, “We should appreciate that Buhari’s refusal to assent the bill means so much. He is a very articulate person; a very deep person in thought and planning.”
He disclosed that, “Some people felt a bit let down with the fact that it is difficult to get two-third of members to return to the chambers. It is a cause for concern. I am very concerned about it but the remedy is not for us to make laws to promote our personal interests.”
He added that, “The parties have their guidelines and conditions by which people accept to be members. You cannot be a member of a party and when you are there you want to change the rules of the game. It is not right; it is not fair.”
