Despite the resolve by many senators to overrule President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, the Senate has now backed down from this determination. In place of the move, which had seen the collection of about 75 signatures for the proposition, the upper chamber resolved to liaise with the House of Representatives on how best to handle the president’s rejection of the electoral reform bill. According to the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, the provisions of the 1999 Constitution do not permit the upper chamber to exclusively take action on such matters in the absence of the House of Representatives, which had already embarked on vacation.

Tunji Abdulhameed, Legal Practitioner, and Richard Wokocha, Associate Professor Of Public Law, Rivers State University joined us to discuss.
