 President Mohammad Abu Hari has been applauded for withholding his assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. A guest in plus politics earlier today, Mr. Muiz Bani Reh, said this and he said that the National Assembly was not serious about the bill and could have separated a controversial indirect primary clause and passed the other aspects to the President for assent. This would have given them ample time to deal with the issue. Let's listen to him. I'm of the view in the first system that the President should ought to and in fact rightly decline the assent to the bill based on the EU of rhetoric from rights. I do not subscribe to the legislature or the draft legislation at all, particularly in terms of compelling political parties to adopt a particular move. So to that extent I take am in concurrence with the President on that point. As per the EU of whether something else could have been done, the truth of the matter is that the bill came holistically. So it's difficult to start isolating. The President on his own could not have isolated the provision relating to direct primary and then signed the orders. So the only thing, the option that is left for the National Assembly of course is to respond to that provision and represent for assent in the circumstances. The President could not have done so on his own. If truly the National Assembly meant well for the system, what ought to be done in the matter of agency is to isolate that, represent the remnant to the President for assent. Then we can start agitating the EU of direct or not direct. But for me, the issues that are meditated against the adoption of primary as the only way of nomination are so many. In fact, the first is that I disagree that it's a subject of legislation. I agree totally fundamentally. It is an issue that I believe is within the freedom of the political parties. That's number one. That is why if there's no political party in Nigeria that does not have a provision, allow it the different methods of nomination that is to say the direct, indirect and consensus. None of them. So what are you directly saying is that to the President even assign that particular deal is that all the political party will have to go and convene a convention urgently to amend their position to reflect that. And because of constitutional is not a small amount and the logistic is not that it's not something, it's not a tea party on his own. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
