PDP criticizes President Buhari for withholding assent to Sequence of  Election Law

-

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said on Tuesday that it is not surprised that President Muhammadu Buhari withheld his assent to the legislation by the National  Assembly reordering the sequence of general elections in the country,
particularly given the tendencies he has continued to display as a

politician.

The PDP said it believes in democracy and subscribes to all its tenets including  the respect for the powers of the National Assembly to make laws and to  amend such laws as occasion demands.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan, said said, “In the light of this development, the PDP, and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians, now eagerly await the final decision of the National Assembly on this amendment.”

“As a party, we are not afraid of the 2019 general elections because we know that Nigerians have already rejected President Buhari and his dysfunctional All Progressives Congress (APC).

“Against this backdrop, the PDP assures all the members of our  great party a level playing ground to choose a Presidential candidate in  a National Convention that promises to be open, free, fair, credible and transparent.

“We know that with the support of Nigerians, any candidate that emerges on our platform ahead of 2019 will clinically defeat President Buhari at the polls and lead our nation back to the path of progress, national cohesion and a vibrant economy.”
