Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s spokesman, Femi Adesina, has argued that his principal\u2019s reputation is established whether or not he assents to the electoral bill or not.<\/p>\n

Buhari received the electoral act amendment bill from the National Assembly in November.<\/p>\n

He has 30 days to make a decision on its assent.<\/p>\n

On November 19, Buhari received the electoral act amendment bill from the National Assembly for his assent.<\/p>\n

There have been speculations that Buhari may not sign it, owing to the controversy that trailed the inclusion of the direct mode of primary for political parties.<\/p>\n

Adesina, speaking during an interview with Channels Television on Monday, said: \u201cIn terms of his image for democratic value, that image is already made. It is almost cast in concrete.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will find that one election after the other has been better under President Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder President Buhari, the governing party has lost \u2014 states, legislative seats and so many elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t use to be. It used to be that whichever party was in power won all elections before by hook or crook; not under President Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, his reputation as somebody who wants to leave clean elections for Nigeria has already been made whether the electoral act is signed or not. It doesn\u2019t distract from that reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n
