The National Assembly has been implored not to amend the new Electoral Act as requested by the President. The National President, Unified Nigerian Youth Forum, Abdulsalam Mohammed-Kazeem, in a statement in Kaduna on Friday, hailed the President for signing the bill into law, while calling on the National Assembly to ignore the President’s request to amend the bill
Also, a former member of the national Assembly Senator Dino Melaye, a member of the PDP, in his reaction to the presidential assent to the bill on Friday, wrote on his social media page, “Thank you Mr President for finally signing the electoral bill into law, though belatedly after raising our BP (blood pressure). I call on the National Assembly not to amend the law after this pressure-induced assent by Mr President. Ministers and political appointees were never voted for.”
