Spokesperson of the senate, Ajibola Basiru has stated that there is no error in the electoral act amendment bill passed by the upper legislative chamber.<\/p>\n

This was stated on Sunday by the senate spokesperson at a\u00a0town hall meeting on the electoral bill organised by Yiaga Africa, a civil society organisation.<\/p>\n

In December, President Muhammadu Buhari declined assent to the bill over some concerns.<\/p>\n

Buhari said adopting compulsory\u00a0direct primary for political parties<\/a> \u201cviolates the spirit of democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Some civil society organisations (CSOs) also exposed some errors in the bill.<\/p>\n

Speaking after he was asked a question on how long it will take to correct the errors and have the bill sent back to the president for assent, Basiru said most of the speakers at the meeting took legislative business as \u201cpedestrian\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very important to set this in context. I find some of the issues discussed here interesting \u2014 they are taking issues of legislation to be pedestrian work,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to also say that it is not correct that the national assembly has done shoddy work on the electoral bill and I take that with seriousness to say that out of 185 sections of the bill, we have a problem with one section.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking the issue of cross referencing to the level of the national assembly doing a shoddy job, we don\u2019t have any business being there if the bill is not worthy of consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aftwewards, Seun Okinbaloye, host of the town hall meeting, said: \u201cIt is not only one drafting error, I have 10\u2026 17; I can pass it on to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visibly angry at this point, Basiru said: \u201cThe errors you are referring to are not in the copy of the bill that I have. I disagree. I totally disagree that there is error. The copy of the bill the senate passed has no error. Let them [CSOs] bring the source from where they got their errors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot come on national television and undermine the institution of the national assembly without facts and figures,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge you. Which copy are you using? Who issued it to be the public document? This is a serious matter and I have to take it up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
