I suspect say una won rig that election.This one wey lie mohammad dey brag say jubril don already win election wey never start.Make he sign am so that the card reader go fit help the tribunal to find out.The inclusion of card reader in the electoral bill is what the national assembly want the president jubril to sign so that it can be made reference to in the tribunal if buhari rig the election.After the 2015 election and when the politicians who lost at that time challenge the winner and demand that the card reader should be authenticated,the court turned it down by saying that card reader was not constitutional.If buhari jubril believes he will win the election credibly,he should sign the electoral amendment.

Listen, during the back-and-forth with the amendments, it was the lawmakers who actually deliberately removed the provision for the compulsory use of the Card Reader in the proposed Bill. It was the President who had to point the omission out to the lawmakers and force them to put it back in. So, what's your point regarding that, actually?

Secondly, the accepted convention worldwide, not just in Africa, is that you do not make a substantial change to an electoral law less than six months before a scheduled election. This is so that all planning, preps, budgeting, e.t.c. regarding an election would then be based on the law that will govern an election. How many times would this have to be pointed out to you guys?

And as Festus Keyamo just pointed out, a general election was cancelled by the Supreme Court in Kenya recently for a similar reason of an inappropriate timing of their electoral law. What is so difficult to understand and accept in all of these?

I don't think they are desperate. Rather I will agree with the change because every bill is subject to ammendment as a nation progresses in time and function... Since new protocols like card readers etc have been introduced to the electoral sequence, I believe amendments should be made to cover this. Or what do you think?

The question is will g the law align with international beast practice. CAPITAL NO

An election was cancelled in Kenya because of such illegality.


Why is PDP hell bent on ensuring the president signs it?

After all they went on recess for 3months. If they knew they wanted to change the electoral law, why go on 3months unnecessary recess?

Do they want the election to be cancelled in case they loose?

Upon all the amendments they made in the law that requires huge technological investments, they still cut the INEC budget. Everything points to the fact that the PDP lead NASS doesn’t want an election at all in 2019.

Please answer the questions truthfully.

CilicMarin:


Card Reader has been in use since 2015..So nothing changes..

Yes, card reader was used in 2015 general election but does not form part of our electoral law. I refer you to the supreme court judgment in favour of Governor Wike of Rivers State. Laws are not statics. Please, argue constructively.

CilicMarin:
Why are the PDP Afraid of using an Electoral law, they created and signed into Law?

Does it mean all the elections, that returned them consistently for 16 years were rigged?

Why are they now desperate to change it?

Because the evil APC used it to rig Buhari into power in 2015. They want to forestall a repeat in 2019. 7 million voters that voted Buhari did not use card reader.

Buhari shouldn't sign the bill until 2021. If the bill will put food on citizens table I know Saraki will never it for g while are they shouting because they are the sole beneficiaries of the elections results. The same Saraki that delayed budget for 7month.

That's based on some piece of junk journalism and fake news from hell, as usual. In any case, the fake figures from the fake report claimed there was rigging everywhere, but that some parties were beaten at there own game this time around, hence the new round of wailing.

Anyways, and if it makes you sleep better, the use of the Incidence Form, which is the basis of the fake news you referenced, has been formally abolished by INEC. Please deal with that.

Someone introduced card-reader for the first time and we accepted it. Why do politicians use some people head like football? Credible poll is the way. Is not about PDP or APC. This country is full of sane people.

You are as useless as your write up.

Was it not PDP that was in power when they realized that the law is not good enough and amended it and included card readers.

Lol, crazy girl.

Mysteryque:
The Director General of the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has accused the National Assembly of putting their interests over that of Nigerians, as controversy continues to trail the rejection of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

Keyamo made the allegation while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics yesterday.

“I want to say clearly to Nigerians that we got to this point because of the self-serving nature of the National Assembly,” he said.

Earlier, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Buba Galadima, claimed the Buhari istration was desperate and wanted to retain power by all means.


He had called on called on Nigerians and the international community to pressure the President to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.

But Keyamo described the allegations as unnecessary and explained the rationale behind the President’s decision.

“The same international community they are appealing to will tell them that international conventions all over the world say that in any build-up to any election, it is wrong, it is against the international best practices to make any changes in any electoral law less than six months to any election.

“If the President signs the Electoral Act Amendment Bill now, our elections will not be deemed to be credible, our elections will not be deemed to be free and fair.

“If he does not sign it like he has refused to do, that is when it will be deemed free and fair,” he added.

Keyamo stressed that the President’s reason that the g of the bill was too close to the elections was in tandem with the international protocol.

According to him, elections were cancelled in Kenya because of a similar situation in the country.

He said, “Nigerians don’t know that the version of the bill that was transmitted to the President in August this year, which was the third time, did not include the provision regarding the card reader.

“If the President does not want card reader, the President would have quickly signed that version that was sent to him in August. It was the President that pointed it out to them.”

Can Buhari point anything out to anyone??
Never!! He is that clueless..
