Why Buhari is yet to sign Electoral Bill into law – Femi Adesina

The Presidency has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to sign the amended Electoral Bill into law.

Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement on Monday, slammed those accusing the president of being reluctant in assenting to the controversial bill.

He said, “Some interest groups are cashing in on what they consider a delay in the signing of the Electoral Bill into law by the President to foment civil disorder and muddy the waters.
“One can just pity their ignorance of Constitutional requirements, as the President has a window of 30 days within which to sign the Bill, or decline assent after it had been transmitted to him by the National Assembly.

“A proposed legislation that has to do with the electoral fortunes of the country needs to be thoroughly scrutinized, and be made as near-perfect as possible.
“Those playing cheap politics with it are, therefore, encouraged to hold their peace, knowing that the right thing will be done within the lawful time”.
