Aniagwu spoke to Africa Independent Television, Tuesday evening, on the contentious issue of direct primaries from the electoral bill. He told the National Assembly to remove the grey areas in the bill and send it back to
the President.

He said: “The law is very clear if the President decides to veto a bill sent to him by the National Assembly after 30days NASS is free to recall that Bill and override his veto.

“But because we know that this National Assembly does not have the guts and the ball to even attempt to override
the President’s veto, the best thing we can do is to urge the National Assembly to take back the Bill and
expunge the aspect of direct primaries that is the problem at the moment so that the President can assent to
Bill that will enable us to have electronic transmission of results.

“Once we are able to do that we can still come back perhaps after this administration has left to begin to think of how we can indeed define the electoral process such that we could have direct primaries”.

Aniagwu who spoke on African Independent Television, AIT, a live programme monitored by our Correspondent on Tuesday evening, told Nigerians to prevail on the National Assembly on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

He said Nigerians should not dissipate energy debating on the propriety or otherwise of the President’s refusal to assent to the Bill but channel the energy to call on the National Assembly to either override the President’s veto or amend the Bill quickly and send it back to the President for his assent.
