Breaking: Buhari To Sign Electoral Bill Friday – Source

Emerging reports have claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari would sign Electoral Act Amendment Bill this week Friday.

Prime Business Africa gathered that a source close to the Presidency told Channels Tv that Buhari would assent to the electoral bill on Friday.

The source noted that the president would honour the new date. Also, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Tuesday, said that the President would sign the bill between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Adesina said: “The President will sign the electoral bill any moment from now. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, it could be anytime, but within the 30 days.”

This Newspaper had previously reported that President had withheld his assent to the electoral bill in November 2021, citing the cost of conducting direct primary elections, security challenges, and possible manipulation of electoral processes as his reason.
