THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urges the National Assembly to immediately override the vetoing of the Electoral Act 2010 (Amendment) Bill by President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to a statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, its
National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Monday, the PDP says Buhari’s veto did not come as a surprise since his commitment to a free and fair 2019 election was mere lip service.

It is now manifestly clear to Nigerians that all the reasons adduced by President Buhari for withholding his assent in the past were lame excuses.
It said: “The clerical and drafting arguments put forward by President Buhari could not in anyway outweigh the importance of amendments meant to engender free, fair, credible and transparent elections in 2019.”
The PDP, therefore, charged the National Assembly to stand with Nigerians in the overall quest for credible elections by immediately overriding President Buhari on the bill.
