Browsing: Electoral Act (amendment) bill 2018

Ezekwesili, who made call at a news conference in Abuja on Monday, said signing of the bill was for the development of democracy in Nigeria.

The Presidency on Monday said the Card Reader was not included in the latest Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018, which President Muhammadu Buhari declined assent to.

Delivering judgment on the matter on Wednesday in Abuja, Justice Ahmed Mohammed held that the National Assembly did not have the powers to reorder the election sequence.

President Muhammadu Buhari had withheld assent to both bills recently and the House promised to re-gazette them with 18 others.
