Published

PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, of frustrating genuine efforts by the National Assembly to deepen democracy in the country, following the refusal of the President to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.

The party said not signing the amendment bill has left Nigerians in the dark, as they do not know if the old Electoral Act or the proposed amendment version would guide the conduct of the 2019 general elections.

In a chat with Vanguard correspondent on the matter, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, repeated the allegation by the PDP that the ruling party was planning to rig the polls in 2019.
