2023 presidential aspirant, Pius Anyim, has commended the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for signing the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law on Friday.
In a statement released by his Media Office and signed by Sam Nwaobasi on Friday, Anyim commended Buhari for “acting like a patriotic National leader by signing the Bill.”
The Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant observed that it “takes a man committed to the good of Nigeria to sign the Bill despite his objection to some provisions of the Bill.”
Anyim also stated that “without the Electoral Act in place, the conduct of the 2023 general elections would be in jeopardy.
“Already, the country and the Independent National Electoral Commission were on edge over the delay in signing the Bill before Friday.
“With the Electoral Act in place, a significant step towards the conduct of credible elections next year has been taken, as the INEC, the political parties, aspirants and other critical stakeholders now have a legal document to guide them,” Anyim posited.
