Buhari’s Electoral Act amendment request: FG to consider all options available ― Malami

Published by

The Federal Government is yet to take any position on the Senate’s refusal to consider the request by President Muhammadu Buhari to delete section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, 2022 but has indicated that it will exploit all options available concerning the Act.

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, stated this while fielding questions at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.

He said the government has three options available to it following the National Assembly’s turning down of the president’s request including asking again for reconsideration, approaching the court or accepting the law as it is.

Malami affirmed that while it is the responsibility of the lawmakers to legislate if it becomes necessary, the Federal Government will exploit all the options available to it.

But he maintained that the government is yet to take a conclusive stand as to what it will do on the matter.

Also speaking of the extradition request by the United States government on DCP Abba Kyari, Malami, lamented that there has been a misconception on the issue, arguing that the request is still being processed.

He regretted what he called the misunderstanding created around the issue by the media, urging them to get a grip of the facts to avoid creating confusion.
