Wike: NASS part of conspiracy against credible elections in 2023

Governor of Rivers State Nyesom Wike has accused the National Assembly of being part of the conspiracy to deny Nigerians credible elections in 2023.

 

Wike said the National Assembly lacks the power to vetoPresidentMuhammadu Buhari’s refusal to sign the Electoral Act Amendment bill, noting that the only way for Nigerians not to repeat the 2015 and 2019 mistakes of voting the All Progressives Congress (APC) into power is to send them packing in 2023.

 

The governor, who spoke yesterday at the inauguration of Chokocho-Igbodo Road I in Etche Local Government Area, by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State  recalled how most people did not believe him when he said Buhari would not sign the bill into law to give legal impetus to electronic transmission of election results.

 

He accused APC governors and their National Assembly members of deceiving Nigerians that they were engaged in battle of supremacy over direct primary, whereas they had allegedly secretly agreed to scuttle the possibility of transmitting election results electronically in 2023
