He said “Buhari will sign the bill) any moment from now, It could be today, it could be tomorrow, it could be anytime, but within the 30 days.It could be signed today; it could be signed tomorrow. In a matter of hours, not days. Hours could be 24 hours, it could be 48 hours; not days, not weeks.”
Adesina had on Monday cautioned against cheap politics over the perceived delay by the President in assenting to the Electoral Bill
In a statement titled, ‘Assent To Electoral Bill: No Need For Saber Ratling,’ Adesina said some interest groups are cashing in on the perceived delay to foment civil disorder.
This is as he pointed out that the President still has enough time to assent to the Bill which he said has to be thoroughly scrutinised and made as near-perfect as possible.
