STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE:

The Presidency rejects allegations of opposition politicians, as well as some newspaper editorial opinions creating the impression that President Buhari is against the use of card readers in the upcoming elections,... (Cont’d)
... hence his decision to decline assent, for the 3rd time, to the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018.

We wish to state in clear & unambiguous terms that the issue of e-voting and use of card readers was NEVER an issue for the President’s decision to decline assent to the Bill.
It is equally important that this issue was not raised either by the Executive or the Legislature in the recent reviews. Moreover, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) adoption of e-voting reforms is enshrined in the 2015 Amendment Act to the Electoral Reform Act.

Our attention has been drawn to incorrect and misleading reporting regarding the status of the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, 2018.
This is the true position:

The Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, 2018 was sent by @nassnigeria to the President on June 27, 2018, for assent.
@NGRSenate @HouseNGR
Following extensive consideration of the Bill, the Presidency engaged with the National Assembly to raise concerns regarding technical & legal errors/issues found in the submitted version. Following this, the National Assembly met, on July 24, 2018, to revise the Bill.

1/ The Presidency has taken note of the orchestrated campaign against President @MBuhari each time a VIP is invited by law enforcement agencies, in the discharge of their legitimate duties and functions.
2/ The law of the land is intended for all, not for the poor or those at the lowest rungs of the social ladder.
3/ It is strange and bizarre that while ordinary citizens can be called up to answer questions or be interrogated, VIPs cannot be questioned without the annoying insinuations of partisanship, persecution or outright politicization.
