President Muhammadu Buhari, has again requested the National Assembly to make an amend to the recently signed Electoral Act 2022.

This was contained in a letter addressed to the Senate and read at Tuesday, March 1, plenary by senate president , Ahmed Lawan.

According to the letter, Buhari is seeking for section 84 (12) which has to do with the resignation of political appointees before party primaries o be deleted entirely.

He argued that the provision of the section was undemocratic and amounted to the disenfranchisement of political appointees.
