It was a historic moment today in Abuja as President Buhari assented to the electoral act amended bill during a brief ceremony held at the Council Chamber of the Aso Villa in Abuja.



The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo; President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, witnessed the signing of the bill.

This comes barely a week to the expiration of the window the President has to take a decision on the proposed legislation, as required by the Nigerian Constitution.

Having received the bill from the National Assembly on January 31, various stakeholders including political actors and civil society groups had awaited its signing into law by the Nigerian leader.

It would be recalled that Buhari has been relented in assenting to the bills for several weeks.
