It will change our electoral system for good because it will reduce corruption and electoral malpractices to a bearest minimum thereby giving hope to the electorate that their votes will count when they vote their candidates at the polling unit."
Bankole Olaoluwa said:
"Silence from your end, Pastor Femi on this issue would have been golden? Well meaning citizens must be concerned on the apparent delay by President in assenting the bill! INEC Electoral calendar is already been threatened and here you call concerned citizen saber ratlers? Must the President wait till the last day to assent or decline assent?"
Emmanuel Agbor said:
"You have spoken well Sir. Not like some States Houses of Assembly and their Executives. Let Me. President take his time to crutinize that document."
Bamidele Morayio said:
"This how your principlal claimed he was scrutinizing ministerial nominee only for him to select failures into office. There's a window of 365 days for which INEC is expected to work, failure to immediately assent or reject it will alter electoral calendar and process.
"We don't want elections date moved forward and as such Buhari should act as the president Nigerians elected."
