Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC-Nasarawa West), said that he was happy that President Muhammadu Buhari did not sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.
Adamu on Wednesday told the News Agency of Nigeria in Keffi that the National Assembly had no business passing a bill to determine how parties nominate their candidates.

“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 said: “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.
“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.”
He, however, said that the lawmakers would take a decision on the bill when they resume in January.
