The House of Representatives will reintroduce the amended electoral bill, which President Muhammadu Buhari failed to assent to.
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila disclosed this in his address when the House resumed plenary, on Tuesday.
He said the bill will be reintroduced on Wednesday, adding that the house must amend the Direct Primaries provision in order to save the other sections of the bill.
“We should not throw the baby with the bath water… our current constitutional review effort is as crucial as the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill. Amending our nation’s constitution to address longstanding areas of disagreement and remove the vestiges of militarism from our democracy is one of the central commitments we made in the 9th House.”
