Senior Special Assistant to the President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, has debunked social media that the President has signed the amended version of the Electoral Act (section 84 (8), which provides for elected officials to take part in primaries of political parties.

Vanguard reports that Shehu, who just returned to the country with the President, said the news of the signing, which had already gone viral on social media, was not to his knowledge, saying “it is news to me too”.

Also Speaking in a telephone conversation, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, House of Representatives, Hon Umar El-Yakub, said the viral news could not be true, citing reasons for his conclusion.

According to El-Yakub, referring to the President on the bill, said “he couldn’t have signed it yesterday because he was out of the country and he couldn’t have signed already because he’s just entering the country.

“I also cannot tell you that he will still not sign it or will not sign it. He’s the President. But if it will be signed later, we will all know,” he said.
