President Muhammadu Buhari has finally signed the Amended Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo; President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, witnessed the signing.
The President assented to the bill on Friday at a brief ceremony held at the Council Chamber of the Aso Villa in Abuja.
This comes barely a week to the expiration of the window the President has to take a decision on the proposed legislation, as required by the Nigerian Constitution.
